Recorrido por las iglesias pintadas de Texas
Recorrido privado en SUV y furgoneta Sprinter con guía
Eighty miles southeast of Austin are the small communities of Schulenburg, Dubina, Praha, High Hill and Ammannsville. One of the earliest settlements of German, Czech and Austrian immigrants in Texas, these communities boast beautiful hidden architectural and cultural gems. Immigrants built stunning churches in the likeness of churches they had left behind in their homeland of Europe.
Today, these painted churches are some of the most extraordinary architectural, cultural and historical attractions in the State of Texas. There are more than 30 painted churches in Texas, with many listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The churches contain prodigious works of art, hand-painted sculptures, marble walls, intricately designed columns, and vibrant, decorative patterns and stained glass. Indeed, all represent an important acclaim to Texan history.
We offer round-trip private car service from Austin for a day trip to visit 4 to 5 churches. Our tour lasts a total of approximately 8 to 9 hours (including transportation to/from Austin).
Our day starts at 8am in the morning with a pickup anywhere in the Austin metropolitan area. We transport your group to Schulenburg where a professional docent joins our tour. We tour two or three churches before breaking for an hour lunch in Schulenberg at
The Garden Co. Cafe
(good only for groups of 5 or less) or the
Oakridge Smokehouse Restaurant
(good for larger groups). Lunch is not included cost of tour. After lunch, we visit two or three more churches before heading back to Austin. In true Texas tradition, some of the best goodies can be found at gas stations; so on the way back, we make a quick stop at
Weikel's Bakery & Gas Station
for you to shop for delectable treats. We arrive back in Austin between 4pm and 5pm.
We provide transportation in a Lincoln Navigator SUV for up to 5 passengers or a Mercedes Sprinter passenger van for up to 14 passengers. Contact our office directly to book this special tour.

Texas Painted Churches Tour Question & Answers:
¿Podemos elegir las Iglesias Pintadas que queremos recorrer?
Generalmente, sí. Si tiene una idea de las iglesias que desea visitar, puede proporcionarnos el itinerario solicitado. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que algunas iglesias podrían no estar disponibles debido a eventos o renovaciones. Recomendamos dejar la selección en manos del guía, quien le recomendará un recorrido por las mejores iglesias disponibles para su visita.
¿Cuánto tiempo se tarda en recorrer las Iglesias Pintadas?
We can almost always complete a tour of 4 to 5 churches in 8 to 9 hours (including travel time to/from Austin), which includes approximately 30 minutes at each location.
Dicho esto, el tiempo depende en gran medida del grupo. Si su grupo suele demorarse en cada lugar, almuerza durante un tiempo prolongado o su punto de recogida está en las zonas oeste o norte de Austin (lo que aumenta el tiempo de viaje), el recorrido obviamente durará más de lo habitual. Además, los grupos más grandes suelen tardar más que los grupos más pequeños.
If you go over the allotted 9 hours, we pro-rate our hourly fee in 15-minute increments.
Schulenberg se encuentra en el centro de la zona donde se realiza el recorrido, por lo que es una buena opción para almorzar. Tenemos dos recomendaciones:
For smaller groups of 6 or less, The Garden Co. Cafe is an excellent choice. The restaurant offers delicious food in a quaint, farmhouse setting. The Garden Co Cafe would not be a good pick for larger groups as the restaurant is small and does not have inside seating for larger groups.
Para grupos grandes de 7 personas o más, el restaurante Oakridge Smokehouse es una buena opción. Ofrece servicio tipo buffet, por lo que es ideal para grupos grandes.
