“My wife, kids, and I had an awesome time! “Ol Gus” is very informative and funny at the same time! Not only did we get to discover some of Downtown Abilene’s History, but we were also introduced to some really cool shops/stores! “Ol Gus” even set up a little scavenger hunt for us to do while we were on our tour. The kids really loved that!
I would highly recommend this fun and knowledgeable tour to anyone looking for something to do in Abilene!”
