Enjoyed it very much. Trip plan covered most of Austin's landmarks. The guide from rooster was very good.
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
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
My wife booked this trip for our visit to Austin. Family of 5. We rented 4 bikes. Wife,Me,18YO,16YO, and I put my 12YO, on the back with me. I ride dirt bikes and Harley’s and thought this would be corney, Wrong! We did a few test runs in the back to get used to the fat tire, and off we went. Hit up some bridges, parks, signs, and several points of interest. It was super cool and our guide was amazing. We would stop at the red lights and he would get off and explain where we are, how it became, and what it’s in for, perfect timing every light. Never asked for a tip and just wanted to know if we had fun. I gave him a tip for all of us and Thanked him, I wish I remembered his name. My family and I talked about all the cool stuff we seen the whole week, and I was super happy to be riding 2 wheels with my whole family. Couldn’t believe that there was no traffic in downtown. Definitely recommend this experience, and book early.
A must do when you visit Texas!!! The tour was very relax and fun. We did it for both Austin and San Antonio. The electric bike is easy to operate. Our tour captains are nice and informative. Highly recommended!!
Tour guide was super enthusiastic (but not too much) and fun to work with. Knowledgeable about the area and easy to work with. A lot of fun!
Had a great time! Got to see parts of Austin I didn't know existed, all while riding on the lowdown with a Harley style electric fat wheeled scooter!
This was SOOOOOO much fun! My husband and son absolutely love anything on two wheels (segways excluded :)) What a great way to see the city of Austin, and learn some of the history. Our guide, Joseph was amazing, incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. This was definitely the biggest highlight of our first trip to Texas! They make sure you are comfortable and have a working knowledge of the bikes before you head out. I really couldn't think of a better way to see this amazing city and learn something along the way. This is a "must do" if you visit the Austin area!
My wife and I had great fun with these guys. The bikes are easy to ride and what a great way to see the city. Our gang leader, Gator, was a legend. If you are reading this and contemplating a tour of Austin, do this one.
Tyler is a fantastic guide. He enriched our experience and made sure my kids had fun. He is knowledgeable about Austin and its history. We learned a lot and had a blast driving around town. The minibikes are easy to drive and tons of fun. This is a "must do"when visiting Austin.
My sister, mom and I (ages 40 - 67) had so much fun on this tour. Tyler, our guide, was super nice. We got to see so much of Austin up close in just two hours. Highly recommend.
