This was the #1 thing we did in Austin! I’d highly recommend it. And the guide “Peanut” is awesome!!
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 a fun way to see the city. Our guide, Rooster, was so patient and fun. He had some great stories to share, took a lot of photos of us in cool places, and he kept us safe! This is one of the best tours I’ve been on. So glad we did it!
Enjoyed it very much. Trip plan covered most of Austin's landmarks. The guide from rooster was very good.
It was a awesome experience riding the bikes all around town. Literally easy to ride. Our guide Cope was a lot of fun and quite informative on historical sites and events around town. Would do it again fo sho
Excellent trip. Justin did outstanding job guiding us around town and giving us history lessons as we went. He took us to a great place to see all the bats fly out from under the bridge. Definitely a fun time. You’ll be glad you did it!
Do NOT miss this fantastic experience. Patrick was our guide and he was great! The tour we took led us to many of the downtown attractions. We even stopped off for a great cup of coffee!
The coolest, most badass way to tour Austin! The tour guides are energetic and knowledgeable about the area- had our group of girls turned to biker chicks before the training was completed. This will definitely be an activity on the agenda next visit to Austin!
Tyler was Nothing but Excellent. He knew the city, history, he was excellant instructor and he was awesome to hang out with!
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
I came to Austin for the weekend with my parents and my cousin, and the first thing we did was do the electric mini bike tour. Patrick and Justin were so much fun! They taught us about the major spots in the city, played fun music and took great pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with decent balance who is visiting Austin. And even if you’re a little bit scarred or unsure, they are very accommodating. For example, my mom was unable to ride her own bike, so she ended up riding with Justin and had as much fun as the rest of us.
