Really fun way to see the city, that is totally customizable based on what your preferences are. Jon was awesome, can’t recommend enough!
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
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.
I have never ridden a motorcycle or moped- so was a little worried. No need to be worried! They teach you how to ride! Each tour is tailored for the group. We got to see so many interesting pieces of art, parks, and hear stories about interesting buildings. My 12 yr old son and I did this together while on vacation. We had only planned to do it once, but we found a way to fit in a second tour a couple days later! It is the best way to introduce yourself to a new city or see a city in a different way. My friend who has lived in Austin for 10 years didn’t know about some of the history and she saw new pieces of art via my photos from the tour. Worth doing more than once! More
By far, the highlight of our weekend getaway was driving these bikes around town touring the city. They are very easy to get used to and the guys at Your Biker Gang are very helpful and very nice people! Will definitely be back and I recommend 100% if you are planning a trip to Austin!
You have to do this when in Austin! Our tour guide Patrick was awesome. So much fun seeing the sights of Austin and much more. A blast!
We were here in October and had a great time. Everyone was friendly, informative and so welcoming. The tour was so fun and you saw so much of the downtown. Riding the bikes is easier than it looks and a great alternative to your standard, boring bus tour. Our guide was fun, engaging and informative. Our group ranged in ages from 22-49 and we all loved it.
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
We saw the yourbikergang.wpengine.com group while driving in Austin. Decided it was something we would enjoy-and we did! Our guide-Joseph was knowledgeable and funny and the tour was great. We saw places in Austin that we would not have seen on our own. Was thankful the tour went on less traveled roads but overall wasn't bad riding in the city. The bikes are easy to handle and they make sure you can prior to starting the tour with practice in an adjacent parking lot. Would recommend! Can't wait to find another city to tour with yourbikergang.wpengine.com!
Absolutely amazing experience!!! Our "gang leader" was Patrick and was just awesome! He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about Austin. Patrick explained everything exceedingly well and thoroughly. He is just straight up an awesome dude. This experience is worth MUCH more than what we paid for. Definitely will be revisiting next time we're in Austin!
It was very fun! I can't wait to do it again. I wish we could've rode longer! Tyler was an amazing guide..full of fun energy which made the ride even more exciting. The pictures online doesn't do it justice...I definently recommend going to experience YOUR BIKER GANG. Great way to see the city of Austin. Thanks again guys.
