This was a fun little activity to get the lay of the land and have fun doing it. Our tour guy was fun, and we learned all kinds of trivia and history about Austin. It had us going to spots that we otherwise wouldn't have known about.
We had a blast with the "Your Biker Gang" food truck tour of Austin. Coop (aka "Peanut") was an amazing guide- helping everyone get the hang of riding the bikes, playing awesome music during the ride, and bringing a ton of energy and fun to the whole experience. The bikes were an amazing way to see the city- really fun to ride, got to cover a lot of ground. Did this with a few coworkers on a biz trip, and we all had a great time. Highly recommend!
What fun! This is a must while in Austin. Gramps (Tyler) was a fun and energetic tour guide. Because of this tour we went to the city library, which is beautiful, and so unique. We never would have gone to the library! Just Do It!
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
We had an amazing tour today! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We saw the city, laughed so much and enjoyed the stop at the food trucks midway. Our guide was a true city expert, and very entertaining the whole time! You have to do this if you're in town. The bikes get lots of attention - people you pass will be waving and smiling at you. Check it out!
Had a great tour of the city with our tour guide Justin! My wife and I had a great time seeing the city, and Justin showed us interesting things that the average tour might not go over, such as fun facts about the buildings and parks. He was friendly and engaging, and took plenty of pictures of us. Thanks for a great time!
I booked this as something fun to do while visiting my 25 yr old son for the weekend. Was looking for an activity that he would enjoy doing too, while giving me a nice overview of downtown Austin. We did the 9am tour on a Saturday in June, which was perfect. It hadn't gotten hot yet, and there wasn't much traffic. Our guide Tyler was great - a perfect mix of knowledgeable, enthusiastic and silly.
Great way to see some of the highlights of Austin! Three bikes, three adults and one teen; a FUN and laid-back tour leader (Hi Tyler!); and a cool morning full of sunshine=an amazingly fun ride!! We all loved this tour and had SO much fun!
We had so much fun on this tour, it's a great concept and Patrick our guide was excellent. We didn't want it to end!
Loved the class. I had no idea what I was getting into but learned a ton and left feeling like I'd made an actual piece of art. Highly recommend.
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.
