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!
Listen, I’m not a “tour guy”. The last tour I can recall doing was Alcatraz when I was 12. But, let me tell you - This was a BLAST! The tour guides are very knowledgeable, the bikes are a blast to ride (and VERY easy to learn), and our 7 year old twins loved getting to ride with us. Whether you’re local or a tourist, go do this. You’ll have a great time.
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
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
We did the electric mini-bike tour with Tyler and it was really the highlight of everyone's trip. 6 adults (ages 54-23) and one 12 year old rider. A few of us picked it up right away but it was good to do the "training" so everyone felt comfortable. Then we were off and running. Got to see fun sights - get on and off and take pictures - and even made a stop for coffee. Tyler gave great information on the sights - and offered up a lot of humor. He let us design our own tour and asked what we wanted to see. Everyone in our group agreed - best city tour we have ever done and we would do it again. More
This is a MUST do if your traveling to Austin. My friends and I had an amazing experience. The bikes are a lot of fun and so are the guys that run the place. Me and my 4 friends were in Austin for about a week and this was everyone's favorite part of the trip.
Loved the class. I had no idea what I was getting into but learned a ton and left feeling like I'd made an actual piece of art. Highly recommend.
We had the most incredible time with Patrick at Your Biker Gang Austin. He was so patient and informative when we were learning the ropes on the bike, and genuinely enjoys showing people his city. We felt like part of a real team riding around the city and saw some very unique sights! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This was a very fun, educational, and fun experience. Yep. I typed fun twice!Great tour of Austin. Saw many colorful artistic murals, big beautiful skyscrapers downtown, Austin City Limits, Willie Nelson's statue, the State Capitol, Governor's Mansion, Sandra Bullock's restaurant, Austin City Hall, and the beautiful people of Austin along the sidewalks.Our tour-guide was Patrick. Great guy. Very positive and optimistic, and smiling the entire time. He took a lot of care to ensure we were all safe in learning how to ride the electric motorbikes, as well as test driving in the back alley and parking garage nearby. He provided a very informative, educational, and fun ride, with about 7 or 8 stops along the way. Even had some good-natured, friendly baseball rivalry banter with him being a Yankees fan and I a Red Sox fan... all the way down in here in Texas!Highly recommended! More
First time seeing Austin and I thought it be a fun and unique was to do it. I was very happy I did it this way too. Rooster my tour guide showed us all the gems of the city, well known and some really cool lesser known ones. I did the lunch tour and I got some really good local favorite too.
Justin is the man! Knowledgeable, great personality. Made the ride extremely enjoyable. Would highly recommend this ride.
