Had a blast checking out Austin and riding these fun bikes!! I recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!!
If you can ride a bicycle, you can do this! I recommend you make it your first activity when you get to town. I brought my whole family, and everybody loved Your Biker Gang. Our leader, Patrick was great, and showed us all the cool and unique spots, and even took great pictures for us. We will definitely be back!
I did one of the night tours, and it was an interesting way to see the city. I'll be honest though, the majority of the fun on the tour is riding the bikes! I enjoyed that the guides were caring and thoughtful when teaching you how to ride the bike as well as during the ride itself. As for the tour, it was a bit more difficult to view things at night - but I still got a good perspective on Austin, and I'd consider doing a similar tour in a different city the next time around.Many thanks to the guides!
If you’re considering a tour of downtown, this is the way to go! Great guides that have fun and make sure that you do too. We stopped along the 2 hour ride and Patrick took pictures of us in front of the murals. Very informative tour about the history of Austin, but definitely not overboard. I did not feel like there would be a test at the end. I’ve gone on a tour before in a hybrid bike, you can pedal or let the electric motor take over... but this is the way to go. 6 out of 5 stars.
We did the sunset tour and We had a great time! Tyler was an excellent tour guide and made the night super fun!
Would defiantly recommend for a fun tour around Austin. The bikes and safe and easy to ride. The guide was fun and informative!
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!!
our guide was awesome and extremely detailed in the tour. he took us all over Austin and showed us some of the unexplored places around the city!
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
Amazing experience. The tour guide was very friendly, made it a fun and safe experience. Learnt a lot about the downtown.
Since we arrived Tyler, our captain for the visit, was very attentive, trying to make our experience the best. Fun ride through Austin downtown, with a stop for lunch at Torchy’s (ask Tyler to take you there). Riding the bikes is safe and easy, even for people without experience. The sights are wonderful, this tour is highly recommended.
