We had a great afternoon! Much quicker and fun way to get an overview of downtown Austin. Lots of Instagram ready pics and a super fun guide. Worth your time.
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
Tyler was great. We enjoyed the bikes and the tour of Austin. It was the highlight of our vacation!!!
Our biker gang was great for our family. Our kids loved it & still talk about it days after. Justin was a great tour guide & made everyone's tour memorable. He was especially good with our two boys. Definitely a "do over" tour. The "Bikes" were fun for the family too.
We had a great time with Patrick this past weekend! There were 7 of us on a girls trip and the tour was a blast! I would recommend it to everyone! A unique way to see the sights of Austin! Don't miss it!
This was a very fun, and very engaging experience. They give you a quick crash course on how to ride their electric bikes, and make you feel comfortable before they take you out on the streets. Overall, I would do this again. Fun, Safe, and Engaging. Thanks for a great time guys, it was a pleasure, and I hope to be back again. Absolute aces, and earned the 5 stars.
Peanut and Rooster are Cool guys, and will show you Austin in a Rad way.A good time you shouldn’t pass up
We had a great time with Rooster! He was fun, energetic and showed us some great spots around Austin. We didn't realise how great Austin is with food, coffee, live music etc So much to do and see! Would highly recommend this tour, great to get your bearings and a feel for the City. The electric bikes are so much fun, hard to go back. Darren & Em.
Very fun trip with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Patrick was great !!! We toured the city & Patrick gave us very detailed information about different sites and landmarks throughout the city. Had a blast !!
We loved this Trip. Whole Family had fun. Kids enjoyed it. Guide trained on bikes and then took us through different parts of Austin. He was fun, Listened to us and showed places that we asked for. Only bad part was weather. At 9 AM , it was bit cloudy and chilly but light jackets helped.
This is just the best way to get a feel for the city! It was great fun picking our "biker names," gearing up for the ride, hopping on the bikes and establishing our presence on the roads of Austin! We had a blast!... "Rooster" was the best guide... very fun and funny, very knowledgeable about the city, and very attentive to make sure we were all comfortable and safe! If you're in Austin... Do this!
