Tyler is a fantastic guide. He enriched our experience and made sure my kids had fun. He is knowledgeable about Austin and its history. We learned a lot and had a blast driving around town. The minibikes are easy to drive and tons of fun. This is a "must do"when visiting Austin.
What fun! This is a must while in Austin. Gramps (Tyler) was a fun and energetic tour guide. Because of this tour we went to the city library, which is beautiful, and so unique. We never would have gone to the library! Just Do It!
I had a blast on this tour! We had Tyler as our guide and he was so much fun that two people in our group actually scheduled the tour again later that week! I would highly recommend taking this tour and the bikes weren’t hard to drive once you got the hang of it.
My girlfriend and I took this tour together when we were in town for the weekend and had a blast. The weather wasn’t the best as it was cold and drizzling, but that lead us to have our own private tour and our guides still put in a ton of effort to make sure we had the best time. The tour is very customizable, and the motor bikes were a ton of fun. Definitely a great and unique way to see the sights. And really a good bargain, especially since you pay per bike and it seats 2 people. Highly recommend.
Amazing!!!! The tour guide was awesome. We were in town for a bachelorette party and the tour was so much more than we expected! Definitely doing this again!
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
We were referred to Your Biker Gang's Fat Tire tours by an employee of mine. On a couples trip in late April we participated in the Food and City tour. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and we loved our tour with Patrick. The bikes are easy to handle and safe to ride. We got to see many parts of the city and we really enjoyed ourselves. I think the tour was 2 hours and it could have been twice as long. Highly recommend this if you are looking for something "different" to do while in Austin.
This was SOOOOOO much fun! My husband and son absolutely love anything on two wheels (segways excluded :)) What a great way to see the city of Austin, and learn some of the history. Our guide, Joseph was amazing, incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. This was definitely the biggest highlight of our first trip to Texas! They make sure you are comfortable and have a working knowledge of the bikes before you head out. I really couldn't think of a better way to see this amazing city and learn something along the way. This is a "must do" if you visit the Austin area!
We planned two full days in Austin and had never been before. When I found this tour I was excited that it was on an electric bike since I knew we’d be able to cover more ground. The day of the tour was chilly in the 30s so we dressed warm. I’m glad we did it! John/Gator was an awesome guide full of stories and history of the city that we never would have learned on our own. He also had lots of great tips about places to check out while we’re in town. They take lots of photos which is nice, too. I’d do another tour with them for sure.
Patrick led our food truck tour and showed us the best known locals way of doing Austin. The bikes were great fun. We'll worth it.
Amazing staff! Our guide had energy, passion and a love for the city and our ride! They gave us good instruction, then we set off on a fun tour of the city! They are the best
