This was the best! The guide Justin, was funny, enthusiastic, and a great picture taker. We did a girls weekend and did the regular tour, it was the best part of our trip. They take you thru some practice runs to get use to the bike and then out on the road! With the music the guide plays and wearing ya shades, you can’t help but feel cool! I’ll definitely do this again, I hope they open one in dallas someday.
Had an amazing time on our ride in Austin. Would totally do it again and recommend it to anyone looking to take a tour of Austin. This is the way to go. So much fun!
This was our first time on electric bikes and we had a great time. We would like to get back and do it again with friends.
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 such a great time on this tour! This was our first visit to the beautiful city of Austin and decided to try this tour. What a great way to see the city! We would never have seen all that we did otherwise. Our guide showed us so many highlights and was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and i’s different neighborhoods. We enjoyed every minute!
This was a blast! It was so fun and such a great way to show some of our friends Downtown Austin! The bikes were fun to drive and easy to learn. Our guide Tyler was amazing! He was the greatest tour guide and very knowledgeable of the city and stops. We would absolutely do this again!
Really fun way to see the city, that is totally customizable based on what your preferences are. Jon was awesome, can’t recommend enough!
We had an amazing tour with Tyler, he was hilarious and informative. Bikes are so much fun and easy to ride. Fantastic way to see the city! Highly recommend!
We had a great time with Patrick on our "biker gang" tour of Austin. He was fun and very accommodating for pictures. We had hoped we would have seen more of the sights of Austin. Much of the tour was through a more run-down part of the city.
Cope was amazing ! We were a group that needed a little extra help! He was so patient and kind boy did we love it we went a bit over the time but, he did not care . Safety and fun was all he wanted for us! Great tour! I mean, we really loved it ! Highlight of our trip !! 10?stars guys! 10 stars!
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
