John and Justin were full of energy and knowledge! This is an excellent way to see Austin and learn about some history as you tour. The bike's were easy to navigate. Lots of photo ops along the way. The live jukebox with rock music playing as we strolled through the streets of Austin made us all feel like "rebels without a cause". If you have the time to spare, I would recommend this. And go early morning to avoid the heat. Thanks again, John and Justin!
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
4 of us 40 somethings got a lay of the land in the Austin downtown area on a Saturday morning. We had an excellent guide and were taken to 4 or 5 amazing spots for pictures. One of the stops include a French style coffee shop and the chocolate croissants were fantastic. Definitely recommend.
Great Ride! Fantastic Gang Leader. No experience needed to ride the bikes. Very fun and informative. Would do it again!
My wife and I took our tour around Austin with one cool gang! Patrick was our guide and was energetic, informative and a blast to spend our day with. We recommend this tour to anyone wanting a fun experience to see Austin
Amazing time, the guide was excellent, tour was well planned and executed. The whole event was a lot of fun!!
Tyler did an incredible job! He was professional, entertaining and energetic all at the same time while keeping the ride on time. I got be truthful and say I was super excited for the adventure and the event turned out better than my expectations! I hope I can book another adventure with Tyler in the future!
My sister and her friends were in town for her 30th birthday. We thought this would be a great activity and a good way seeing downtown Austin. I was not impressed with the places we visited but it was still fun. Our tour guide wasn’t the best guide. If you have a large group, you can schedule a private ride. Ask to go to all the popular murals in town. Tip: wear a bandanna. The helmets are gross.
We had a great time!!! We saw many sights in Austin we haven’t seen before!! Rooster was an Amazing Road Captain!!! Will definitely recommend to friends/family!!!Melissa P.
My wife and I had a great time riding the fat wheel electric bikes. We were the only two in our group so we received a personal tour from our guide Tyler, he's awesome! Tyler was informative, patient, and funny he definitely made the experience worth while.
Such a fun outing! The bikes are easy to operate and there is great leadership from their staff too.
