This was a really awesome tour. The bikes are fun and easy to ride. Our guide Tyler had me laughing the entire time and did a great job at keepin' Austin weird. I learned a lot about the city also. I recommend this tour to anyone and everyone - whether you're visiting or live in Austin.
Super fun and great way to see the city and learn cool stories about the place. Our guide was awesome as well. Would definitely recommend to others.
First off, let me say that "Gator" was a great tour guide and made the trip so fun! I was with a group of friends and I know we all has an awesome time! I 100% recommend this!!
Had a blast checking out Austin and riding these fun bikes!! I recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!!
Tour guide made it so easy to follow and enjoy the ride. Tour takes you through many points of interest where you can get off and take pics. The elec bikes were so much fun to ride, loved it.
Such an awesome/fun experience! We all had a great time cruising through Austin and hearing about it’s history! Highly recommend!
Cope was a great guide taking us through Austin and being our unofficial photographer! He was extremely patient when some of the riders just weren’t getting the hang of it and made sure to always look out for everyone while on the road. Would recommend to everyone!
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 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.
By far, the highlight of our weekend getaway was driving these bikes around town touring the city. They are very easy to get used to and the guys at Your Biker Gang are very helpful and very nice people! Will definitely be back and I recommend 100% if you are planning a trip to Austin!
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!!
