I had a blast on this tour! We had Tyler as our guide and he was so much fun that two people in our group actually scheduled the tour again later that week! I would highly recommend taking this tour and the bikes weren’t hard to drive once you got the hang of it.
Fantastic!! The whole experience was exciting and fun. If you're on the fence about trying this out, take that step and do it! Cope was our guide and did an excellent job showing my wife and I around the city and telling us some history along the way. It's not a strict tour, it's very laid back and extremely worth 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
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.
By far the one if the best experiences I’ve been had while in Austin. I booked the food tour for my girlfriend and I, not only did we eat some authentic Venezuelan food, but also got to explore the city and that picture at the famous places on Austin. Our tour guide was Patrick, he went far and beyond for us, very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history which is a plus if it’s yout first time visiting Austin.10/10 will do it again
Super fun way to see the city! I've never been on a scooter/motorbike before and it was very easy to learn and master. Patrick is one of the best guides I've ever had... you can tell he loves his job and his city! Would HIGHLY recommend!
Our tour guide was awesome! Very enthusiastic and was knowlegeable about the area. He was funny, and had great charisma :)
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
What a great time! Such a fun and unique way to view Austin. The weather was not the best but the rain added to our adventure. Even though we weren't able to stop at as many places Cope made the best of it. Thanks Cope! Like hope not coupe. lol
This tour was so much fun. It was so entertaining to ride around Austin on the electric bikes. We stopped at some cool murals to take group photos that turned out really cool. Patrick was the head of our biker gang and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! I’d highly recommend this tour!!
The bikes were fun to ride, our entourage guide Rooster had tons of great information about Austin, and we were able to see some great highlights. Would definitely recommend this for a fun vacation activity!
