We had 7 people raning in age from 16 to 62 years and all of us agree it was the best thing we did. Rooster was our guide and after a short lesson we were off to explore Austin. We learnt about the city - saw the sights and got to ride the very cool bikes. Rooster kneew the best spots to stop and take pictures. It was great to be part of a biker gang!!!!!
It was so much fun. The tour guide (Jon) gave us some history, fun, and of corse some iconic graffiti of austin. Never going to a regular tour again.
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
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
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.
We saw the yourbikergang.wpengine.com group while driving in Austin. Decided it was something we would enjoy-and we did! Our guide-Joseph was knowledgeable and funny and the tour was great. We saw places in Austin that we would not have seen on our own. Was thankful the tour went on less traveled roads but overall wasn't bad riding in the city. The bikes are easy to handle and they make sure you can prior to starting the tour with practice in an adjacent parking lot. Would recommend! Can't wait to find another city to tour with yourbikergang.wpengine.com!
took my girlfriend on a date via the biker gang to recant her childhood time in Austin after 12 years and she loved it. she visited Austin once in her childhood and loved it. When she came to visit for the holidays this was the perfect date and Tyler was the perfect host. We had a blast and will be back!
My family of 4 rented 2 e-bikes and did the city tour with Gator. The bikes were fun to ride, safe with with kids. We hit a bunch of hotspots, and Gator kept it fun.
Had a great time with our biker gang. Our guide Patrick was fun and knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. Even though it was cold weather we had a good time. They provided gloves and bandanas to stay warm. Would suggest it to anyone that wants to see Austin in a totally unique way!
Enjoyed our private ride this weekend through Austin. The weather wasn't too accommodating but that didn't stop us from seeing all that Austin has to offer. The guys were well informed and did a great job showing us the sights. They even improvised along the way to let us warm up our fingers and toes on a very cold day! Would highly recommend The Biker Gang to all for a very fun time!
Highly recommend. Major fun and a great city tour. We had a group of 10 family members with 7 Bikes. The bikes are really cool - Easy to ride and control but feel more like a motorcycle than a bicycle. Great to cruise around like a "gang" owning the streets. Our tour guide was great, he made it fun and interesting and we covered a surprising amount of ground. Highly recommend this tour to all group types, from couples to large groups as a cool way to see and experience the city. We were also able to hike our minor children comfortably and safely with us which is a real plus for families.
