Guides were great. Extremely knowledgeable. A great way to see (and learn about) Austin.
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 tour for a team builder. We had a great time. The bikes were easy to ride. Our guide 'Rooster' was fun and knowledgeable. After a few minutes of instructions and trial runs we were off exploring the city. Our guide took lots of pictures of us. We even stopped for donuts and coffee. Highly recommend doing this. Much better than segways.
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!
We had a blast and the guides were fun and funny. Loved it! Fun way to see Austin and I would totally recommend it.
Had a great time on the tour, recommend 100%. Tyler was a lot of fun, made the tour great. Took my 18 yo nieces and they had a ball!
My girls and I went as a group for out bachelorette weekend & our Tour Guide, Patrick was AMAZING. We had so much fun. I would definitely recommend anyone and everyone to at least experience this once! Perfect for dates, groups, or riding solo and meeting new people. Thank you guys so much! See you next time!
Since we arrived Tyler, our captain for the visit, was very attentive, trying to make our experience the best. Fun ride through Austin downtown, with a stop for lunch at Torchy’s (ask Tyler to take you there). Riding the bikes is safe and easy, even for people without experience. The sights are wonderful, this tour is highly recommended.
The tour was so great!! Went to many different spots and saw some amazing sites!! The tour guide was amazing! He was funny and had everyone having a good time! He even upgraded us from one bike to two since we felt squished on one bike! (We had cameras and bags we had to carry) it was a great time! Will definitely do that again!!
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!
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.
