John is was amazing!!! My boyfriend and I had a great time on our ride. We will recommend this tour.
We had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Tyler was awesome!! He was knowledgeable, fun, and VERY PATIENT! He is the absolute best!
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
Very fun trip with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Patrick was great !!! We toured the city & Patrick gave us very detailed information about different sites and landmarks throughout the city. Had a blast !!
This is such a cool and unique way to check out Austin and vibe with your inner biker chick (or dude) . Tyler was an amazing guide and kept us entertained the entire time. Definitely the highlight of our weekend. It you have an adventurous spirit and are ready for fun, this is the tour for you. Book it!!!!
My parents were visiting and this was the perfect way to show them around the city. A comfortable ride and friendly, thoughtful outgoing tour guides made this the highlight of our trip! We did the morning ride which was nice because it was cooler and traffic was lighter. I highly recommend this excursion over pedalhoppers or segways (I’ve done both). Tyler and Reagan were our guides and were GREAT. Knowledgeable, fun, and also mindful to keep our large group out of the ways of cars, joggers and other bikers. Book with them if you can!
Had a blast with Gator! Saw lots of AustinGot info on architecture and people of Austin . Gator was good reading the mood of tour!
My wife and I took a 2 hour tour of Austin on an electric fat tire bike. As first time visitors, it was a great way to start the vacation and explore the city. Plus, our guide was informative and patient with us as newbie riders.
If you’re considering a tour of downtown, this is the way to go! Great guides that have fun and make sure that you do too. We stopped along the 2 hour ride and Patrick took pictures of us in front of the murals. Very informative tour about the history of Austin, but definitely not overboard. I did not feel like there would be a test at the end. I’ve gone on a tour before in a hybrid bike, you can pedal or let the electric motor take over... but this is the way to go. 6 out of 5 stars.
Patrick our tour guide was amazing, so much fun! If you are in the Austin area this is a must dd! Thanks for a fun afternoon.
These are fun to drive, easy to drive & are a great way to tour the downtown area of Austin! We had family in town from Wisconsin & this was an amazing interactive way to get everyone around! Tyler, our tour guide, added fun and energy to the tour! If you're weary of not knowing how to ride this bike, don't be. We all learned the day of and were on the road in 15 minutes!
