We had a ball and will do it again. A super fun way to spend a hot evening in Austin, Our guides were terrific and we learned about a few cool sites in Austin we didn't know about- (we live here). Would highly recommend.The electric mini-bikes are easy!
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
Absolutely fun! - Tour guide (Tyler) was great, energetic, inclusive and funny- Other people on tour were very friendly- Before hitting the road, we practiced riding on the scooter in parking lot which was very helpful- Easy to drive scooter, but driver should be confident and respect the rules of the road - Fun way to see the city and have the wind blow through your hair- Wear sunscreen!!!
Jo (our tour guide) was awesome, the bikes were the best to get around the city. Everybody enjoyed this activity!
we loved riding around on the bikes- very fun. And our leader was fantastic- Gator... very knowledgeable about the city, history and the local folklore... he was amicable, funny and patient :)
Took the Coffee and Donuts tour with Gator, and we had so much fun! The bikes were easy to use and we had great music. Gator even personalized the tour a little and was a great guide. Will be recommending this to everyone and probably doing one in San Antonio next time we visit there.
First off, let me say that "Gator" was a great tour guide and made the trip so fun! I was with a group of friends and I know we all has an awesome time! I 100% recommend this!!
Had a fantastic time zooming around Austin on a guided tour. The guides were great fun and very knowledgable and the bikes are so much fun to ride. 100% recommend this activity. Brilliant!
Our tour guide Cope was super friendly and engaging making the entire tour a really memorable experience! Super easy to do! Would highly recommend.
Patrick was fantastic! We got to see Austin in a very fun and informative way. We would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see/experience Austin.
Oh my! We had so much fun on these bikes. My wife who has never ridden was a little apprehensive at first but within 5 minutes she was loving it. The tour guide was great, such a cool guy and full of knowledge. This has been my favourite tour anywhere!!
