There's no need to know how to ride a motorcycle, if you can ride a bicycle, you can do this + they'll teach you at the beginning how to properly ride it.
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!
Our family was super fortunate to have Kyle as our guide.Our adventure was amazing! He was big on safety, very knowledgeable about Austin, took many photos for us, and was incredibly funny and entertaining!! We really enjoyed seeing the bats, the Austin skyline all lit up and just cruising around the city at night. The BEST!
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!
We did the sunset tour and We had a great time! Tyler was an excellent tour guide and made the night super fun!
This was by far the highlight of our trip! SO MUCH FUN!!! The 2 guys, Peanut and Gator, were excellent. Fun and funny and knowledgeable. First off, they took us through how to ride the bike. Very safety conscious. And were very attentive throughout the tour checking in with us to make sure we were ok. Once I got over my initial nervousness of riding the bike (I've never ridden one before) I relaxed and it was easy to ride. Seriously, not hard at all. And I'm a small woman, only 5' tall and had no trouble whatsoever. And then we were off on the streets of downtown Austin. We stopped throughout the 2 hour tour for Peanut to shows us stuff as we went. There were 8 people in our "gang". And honestly the funnest and best thing we did in Austin. I can't recommend it enough!!!
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!
I planned a biker gang ride for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and Austin for 11 girls and it was hands down the highlight of the weekend for all. We had an INCREDIBLE guide, Tyler. He reached out a few hours prior to the ride to see if we had any questions. During the ride he took us to some of the coolest sites in Austin (plenty of photo opportunities). He also provided a ton of Austin knowledge and plenty of laughs. BIKER GANG is a must do in Austin and hopefully you will be as lucky as us to be led by Tyler!
We love the tour on the electric bikes. Myself being a first time rider, it was very easy to learn and felt comfortable the entire time. We enjoyed seeing the area and heard about the history and making stops along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!!
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
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.
