My buddies and I had a blast and our tour guide (Patrick) couldn't have been cooler. 2 hours of non-stop fun and beauty. Highly recommended!
I'm local, so I'll be back. I took my (70something) mom on a 9 a.m. vaguely-themed YBG tour (they offer some that are focused on specific aspects of Austin -- this one was more the general one) because it was her birthday and we had guests coming in to town and she still hasn't been downtown much. I expected the usual high points, just on a bike, and that would have been cool. What I got was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide (Patrick) who took us on a tour that was an awesome combination of the usual high points and some fascinating side trips. (Dude knows a lot about all kinds of minutae, including chicken and tattoos and local plants and Texas history -- it totally didn't surprise me that he was a teacher in a past life!) We went places that I didn't know existed and had a blast. So, two thumbs up. And I would think this tour would be fine for almost anyone -- I drove because my mom gets nervous, but we were on easily operated, well maintained bikes and took safe, medium-traffic routes, and she totally could've handled it as well. Our fellow tour takers varied from college students on Spring break to, well, my mom. So anyone would enjoy it. And it's a pretty good deal for 2ish hours of really good guidance. Do it -- you'll be glad you did. More
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
would do this again in a heartbeat. Cope was our guide and was so much fun and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend doing this as a team builder, family fun day, or a quick way to zoom around Austin. Can't wait to do this again.
I have never ridden a motorcycle or moped- so was a little worried. No need to be worried! They teach you how to ride! Each tour is tailored for the group. We got to see so many interesting pieces of art, parks, and hear stories about interesting buildings. My 12 yr old son and I did this together while on vacation. We had only planned to do it once, but we found a way to fit in a second tour a couple days later! It is the best way to introduce yourself to a new city or see a city in a different way. My friend who has lived in Austin for 10 years didn’t know about some of the history and she saw new pieces of art via my photos from the tour. Worth doing more than once! More
We had some much fun with Joe. It was rainy and cold for our ride but we still had tons of fun. We loved it.
Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!
Rooster was an incredible guide. Took tons of great photos of myself and wife. He made it fun and informative A blast. Joel and Jess Lerner aka Otter and Bull dog. South Florida
Patrick the guide was the best ever. He made my wife to learn how to ride the scooter in few minutes and she enjoy the trip. Thank you and highly recommended.

Our tour guide (Tyler) was AMAZING! This was the most fun we had on our 4 day get away to Austin! Funnest way to see all the spots in Austin!
