Fantastic!! The whole experience was exciting and fun. If you're on the fence about trying this out, take that step and do it! Cope was our guide and did an excellent job showing my wife and I around the city and telling us some history along the way. It's not a strict tour, it's very laid back and extremely worth it!
Had an amazing experience, Gator is the best guide. He is so full of energy, Very passionate. He makes sure you are having a blast. 10/10. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.
This ride was so much fun! Joe, our Road Captain, made sure everyone stayed safe AND had fun. (As a mom/teacher I know firsthand how challenging it can be to keep those two in balance...LOL) I cannot say enough about how enjoyable this was. My only regret is that we did the ride towards the end of our trip. Doing this ride the first day would have given us a better perspective of Austin and a list of things/places we would have loved going back to. So my advice would be: Go join the bike gang as soon as you touch down in Austin.
What an amazing and fun way to get to see downtown Austin! I have nothing negative to say about our experience because it was just that good. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and given detailed instructions that made riding feel like a breeze. The amount of area we covered and the amazing photo opportunities we got during this tour was seriously priceless. Tyler was an amazing tour guide who made it so much fun for our group and he had such an amazing personality. He was full of knowledge but always kept it light and interesting and was always was making us laugh. Don’t miss out on doing this it will so be worth it!!
I loved this experience! Jon was upbeat, knowledgeable about Austin, and customized the ride to the interests of his group. I highly recommend!
Just a fantastic way to learn about the city of Austin.Gator was an excellent guide and thoughtfully adapted my tour to match things I'd mentioned earlier.It could have been a slightly sad day on my own ( I'm on a business trip - don't know anyone here). Instead I found myself laughing with Gator as we rode the streets to Starship "We built this city" and other well chosen music.The bikes are easy to learn. I'm mid 50's and never ridden a motor bike, so it can't be hard.I'll be back when I'm next in town.
Our guide, Tyler, did a great job showing us Austin. He was funny but informative. Looking forward to our next trip.
Loved getting to see the different “touristy” spots. Our tour guide got to know everyone and was super fun and enthusiastic, which made the whole trip. Bikes were fun, and cheap for 2 people. Loved it and would recommend to any visitors to Austin!
Was a good time, very entertaining. I wish there was a little more siteseeing involved, but sometimes its a little tough when you are in the middle of traffic.
Tyler did an incredible job! He was professional, entertaining and energetic all at the same time while keeping the ride on time. I got be truthful and say I was super excited for the adventure and the event turned out better than my expectations! I hope I can book another adventure with Tyler in the future!
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
