This was the coolest thing we have ever done as a family. The kids REALLY enjoyed it. John was GREAT!! He made the tour a memory we will never forget. This is a must do if you're in Austin. Worth every penny!
Cope (biker name Peanut) was a great guide! We learned some cool things about Austin, his music was on point and he was fun to be with. The bikes were pretty easy to maneuver too. We got tons of looks and hi fives from random people and even some from real bikers. We felt really cool! The water and seat cover were a nice and necessary touch. Well done!
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!
My wife and I had a great time if you are thinking of doing it do it we are going to book a private tour for my wife's birthday
Had an amazing time! Rooster was a very knowledgeable tour guide and catered the ride to what we wanted to see. I would definitely do it again and hope that this becomes available in other cities.
10/10 would do this again! Our guide was super friendly and showed us great views of Austin. The bikes are easy to drive and a really fun way to see beautiful parts of the city. It was very hot when we went, but we were provided ice cold waters and even made two pit stops to water parks to cool off. Very neat way to spend a couple hours on a sunny afternoon.
This was my second ride and it was just as awesome as the first. John was an incredible tour guide and kept things upbeat and fun, even when a couple people on the ride struggled to ride the bikes and felt a bit uneasy. It's such a great way to see some sights and do something different and unique and I cannot say enough about how great every employee at Your Biker Gang has been. They reach out prior to the ride to make sure you don't have any questions, provide water and sunscreen, and are just the coolest group of people. We went to a few different spots than on the first ride which really made it feel like a completely new experience. If you have a couple hours to spare (and you should because this is totally worth it), book a ride. This is now one of my go-to things to do when friends visit. The memories are unforgettable and the guides take great pictures they make available to everyone for free. More
This was one of the best downtown weekend activities we have ever done as a family! We booked our tour on a Sunday and took both kids with us. This was a dual father son birthday present and we all had a blast. Our guide was great and the enjoyment and experience we had was equally matched by what we spent for the tour. The motor bike was easy to maneuver and thankfully there is a good amount of practice before getting on the road. The stops along the tour were awesome and our guide provided a thorough and interesting commentary of Austin and Texas facts along the way. This is absolutely worth every penny and an experience you won't forget! I would recommend definitely checking weather conditions and dressing comfortably.
I have never ridden a motorcycle or moped- so was a little worried. No need to be worried! They teach you how to ride! Each tour is tailored for the group. We got to see so many interesting pieces of art, parks, and hear stories about interesting buildings. My 12 yr old son and I did this together while on vacation. We had only planned to do it once, but we found a way to fit in a second tour a couple days later! It is the best way to introduce yourself to a new city or see a city in a different way. My friend who has lived in Austin for 10 years didn’t know about some of the history and she saw new pieces of art via my photos from the tour. Worth doing more than once! More

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
