If you want to see Austin’s unique sites—and have a blast while doing so—book with Your Biker Gang. Tyler was a great guide, and he showed us the highlights, and weird sites, of Austin. He entertained us and kept us safe while we learned to ride the bikes. It was a great experience and a highlight of our trip.
We had Rooster as a guide and he couldn’t have done better! We ended up as the only people and he readjusted the tour to take us on an overview of the area homes and unique buildings and scenery. Loved every minute!
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
Great way to see the city and a very unique way. We had an amazing tour guide and saw the capitol, many murals and all of Austin. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to tour the city in a unique way
Daniel (aka Rooster) made learning how to ride and tooling around Austin great fun. He was knowledgable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour!
My wife booked this trip for our visit to Austin. Family of 5. We rented 4 bikes. Wife,Me,18YO,16YO, and I put my 12YO, on the back with me. I ride dirt bikes and Harley’s and thought this would be corney, Wrong! We did a few test runs in the back to get used to the fat tire, and off we went. Hit up some bridges, parks, signs, and several points of interest. It was super cool and our guide was amazing. We would stop at the red lights and he would get off and explain where we are, how it became, and what it’s in for, perfect timing every light. Never asked for a tip and just wanted to know if we had fun. I gave him a tip for all of us and Thanked him, I wish I remembered his name. My family and I talked about all the cool stuff we seen the whole week, and I was super happy to be riding 2 wheels with my whole family. Couldn’t believe that there was no traffic in downtown. Definitely recommend this experience, and book early.
IF YOU’RE in Austin take this tour!!!! The guide is awesome and knowledgeable. I would do this tour over and over again!
We were on our way from Dallas to San Antonio for a trip with our daughter and grandkids when I saw this written up in TripAdvisor. Since the kids hadn't seen Austin, I thought this was going to be a nice way to take a drive break and have some fun. THIS WAS EXCELLENT! We had Jon as our leader and he stopped at a lot of picture places and showed the new stuff, the older part of the city and finally the Capitol building. Everyone in our group (grandparents, kids, grandkids) raved about the ride. Definitely a great place to start if you want to get in character and have some fun. More
I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and completely helpful. The ride was fun and exciting and had great music. It was very enjoyable for the whole family we had ages ranging all the way from age 6 all the way up to 57. Will be definitely doing it again. You guys rock
First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
I thought the Your Biker Gang tour was fabulous! The clubhouse easy to find and extremely welcoming.... with a great Donkey Kong game. The small instructional and practice time were helpful and effective. I thought the balance of stops, info and riding were perfect but most of all our tour guide Tyler aka Grandpa was exceptional. He had a great vibe and definitely wanted to make our tour what we wanted it to be minus the million right hand turns! Ha! This was definitely a tour to remember and be repeated. Thanks Tyler!
