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
My wife booked this trip for our visit to Austin. Family of 5. We rented 4 bikes. Wife,Me,18YO,16YO, and I put my 12YO, on the back with me. I ride dirt bikes and Harley’s and thought this would be corney, Wrong! We did a few test runs in the back to get used to the fat tire, and off we went. Hit up some bridges, parks, signs, and several points of interest. It was super cool and our guide was amazing. We would stop at the red lights and he would get off and explain where we are, how it became, and what it’s in for, perfect timing every light. Never asked for a tip and just wanted to know if we had fun. I gave him a tip for all of us and Thanked him, I wish I remembered his name. My family and I talked about all the cool stuff we seen the whole week, and I was super happy to be riding 2 wheels with my whole family. Couldn’t believe that there was no traffic in downtown. Definitely recommend this experience, and book early.
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
Came into Austin for a quick weekend with our teens. Found Your Biker gang on TripAdvisor and loved every minute of our tour. Our road captains, Cope and Patrick, were super cool and informative. We went to Congress St, 2nd Street, 6th Street, Doug Sahm Hill, food trucks, Welcome to Austin sign, and drove thru a great old neighbor with new modern homes. I loved driving the bike and want to take the tour again on my next visit to Austin. So worth the money!
It was a lot of fun! Cole was a great guide. I will do this again when family comes to visit. We learned a lot.
I had an afternoon to kill in Austin so I searched for “Tours of Austin” and stumbled upon this group. Let me start by saying I’m 71, with zero experience on any similar vehicle other than a bicycle, and was decades older than everyone else in the group. I would have preferred that the short training period was a bit longer, but nonetheless out we went. After a few minutes we all felt comfortable and man, it was fun! As the two hour time frame was nearing it seems like all of us would have happily stayed on for another hour. To be honest, it wasn’t much of a sightseeing tour since the leader isn’t really communicating with us as we ride around, but who cares? This was just pure fun. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience. 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.
Great experience! Totally great thing for a group to do! Patrick our guide was really Great and an awesome captain! He took us to some great spots and we got to learn some unique things about Austin not shown in the books!
Although it was a very cold day in Austin, Rooster and Gator made it an enjoyable and fun experience! My suggestion is check the weather before booking and if it’s warm and clear don’t skip this trip, very fun and super informative.
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.
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.
