My wife and UT student daughter took the fat tire mini bike tour with Gator. F see un trip around Austin. Bikes are easy to ride but can ride double if one is uneasy with the bike. You are riding on streets with cars but Gator was very safe and we never felt nervous in traffic. Great way to see Austin. They have some different routes so not sure you always see the same things. Highly recommend the adventure and Gator was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Good times.
Tyler was an awesome tour guide! He took us to some amazing sites, explained their background and it was just fun riding the bikes around town with my wife! I'd definitely recommend this tour!
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 a wonderful personalized tour through Austin. Tyler was a great guide and kept things fun and high-energy the entire time. A lovely way to get acquainted with the city and have a better feel for what there is to explore, as well as hitting some checklist landmarks (murals, buildings, etc).
Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. I planned this for my husband’s birthday and we lucked out cause we were the only two riders. Thanks for a great time!
Guide was awesome, he was always excited and he loved his job, he made sure you had a good time, if weren't having fun he would make the fun..
Was an overall great experience Tyler did a great job! I definitely recommend riding with him as he adds to the experience great energy and very knowledgeable of the downtown area.
Bike tour was the highlight of our trip to Austin. Patrick and Tyler were terrific guides and teachers, making everything safe and fun. Got to see so much of the city, including great food at a food truck stop. I cannot think of a more fun way to see the city and have fun for 2+ hours. My 17 & 22 year old sons loved it too.
You guys have to check this out!! If you wanna see Austin from a different perspective and ride with your friends, this is the thing to do. The guys are super helpful and knowledgable of the area, have to do this! You'll love it!
We had such a fun time with Tyler as our tour guide. He made the tour super fun and kept the energy positive the entire time. Definitely an unforgettable experience. I would recommend it to anymore.
Loved getting to see the different “touristy” spots. Our tour guide got to know everyone and was super fun and enthusiastic, which made the whole trip. Bikes were fun, and cheap for 2 people. Loved it and would recommend to any visitors to Austin!
