Our guide, Tyler, did a great job showing us Austin. He was funny but informative. Looking forward to our next trip.
What an amazing experience we had . Such a great and unique way to see Austin. I would highly recommend
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
My wife and UT student daughter took the fat tire mini bike tour with Gator. F see un trip around Austin. Bikes are easy to ride but can ride double if one is uneasy with the bike. You are riding on streets with cars but Gator was very safe and we never felt nervous in traffic. Great way to see Austin. They have some different routes so not sure you always see the same things. Highly recommend the adventure and Gator was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Good times.
More than a real sightseeing tour of any heft, this was more a chilled out bike ride. But if you haven't ridden on one of these types of fat wheel electric bikes, it's quite fun. Worth the cost if you're two people on one bike.
Patrick was an awesome guide, so fun and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves his job and really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has an awesome time!
We had 7 people raning in age from 16 to 62 years and all of us agree it was the best thing we did. Rooster was our guide and after a short lesson we were off to explore Austin. We learnt about the city - saw the sights and got to ride the very cool bikes. Rooster kneew the best spots to stop and take pictures. It was great to be part of a biker gang!!!!!
We had some much fun with Joe. It was rainy and cold for our ride but we still had tons of fun. We loved it.
This was a great way to see the sites of Austin. Highly recommend it...our guide Cope was great and we had a blast.
I gave this a 5 star review because my friends loved it. I liked it too, for as long as I could muster the nerve. The guide was knowledgeable and compassionate. When I decided to give up he locked the bike up and offered to get me a ride. I opted to walk and enjoy the city while my friends sent texts of all the fun places hey’d visited.
This was the best! The guide Justin, was funny, enthusiastic, and a great picture taker. We did a girls weekend and did the regular tour, it was the best part of our trip. They take you thru some practice runs to get use to the bike and then out on the road! With the music the guide plays and wearing ya shades, you can’t help but feel cool! I’ll definitely do this again, I hope they open one in dallas someday.
