We were on our way from Dallas to San Antonio for a trip with our daughter and grandkids when I saw this written up in TripAdvisor. Since the kids hadn't seen Austin, I thought this was going to be a nice way to take a drive break and have some fun. THIS WAS EXCELLENT! We had Jon as our leader and he stopped at a lot of picture places and showed the new stuff, the older part of the city and finally the Capitol building. Everyone in our group (grandparents, kids, grandkids) raved about the ride. Definitely a great place to start if you want to get in character and have some fun. More
Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!
My wife and I joined our biker gang for a tour around Austin while visiting this past weekend. We had a blast! Cope and Joseph were fantastic hosts and guides! I highly recommend this experience-you will see some areas of Austin you might not otherwise experience, all while riding electric powered mini bikes through the streets of Austin!
You guys have to check this out!! If you wanna see Austin from a different perspective and ride with your friends, this is the thing to do. The guys are super helpful and knowledgable of the area, have to do this! You'll love it!
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
We've been on a variety of city tours and this was by far the best. Patrick guided us to a multitude of Austin icons and knew the history of each location. We greatly enjoyed it!
My hubby and 2 kids said that Tyler was awesome! He was patient, knew the subject matter, knew the streets of Austin and was a great instructor! So much so that they wanted to do it again the next day! It was so much fun that we have decided that this would be a great bday gift for our friends and family. Am actually booking an appt. for next week as a bday gift for a friend's daughter! She is excited.....
Probably my favorite thing we did in Austin! I recommend doing this the first day you’re visiting because they take you all around the city and show the highlights... from Rainey Street to the capitol building to Barton Springs. They are incredibly friendly at the HQ, and our guide Cope was amazing!!
Our tour was Friday morning during SXSW week - weather was perfect... Our tour guide was Patrick, he was GREAT, friendly and informative. I learned several factoids about Austin. We will definitely do it again, but next time will try the food truck tour. Great activity for families of all ages.
We had an amazing tour with Tyler, he was hilarious and informative. Bikes are so much fun and easy to ride. Fantastic way to see the city! Highly recommend!
Joining this biker gang is a must! Tyler, our road captain was so funny, fun and full of energy from the moment he greeted us. He made sure we were all comfortable; he was encouraging every step of the way. He was constantly telling jokes and making us laugh. He kept a smile on our faces the entire ride. The stops on the tour were great too! He toe us a little history/background or the places; we were able to take pics. Overall great experience!
