Our tour was Friday morning during SXSW week - weather was perfect... Our tour guide was Patrick, he was GREAT, friendly and informative. I learned several factoids about Austin. We will definitely do it again, but next time will try the food truck tour. Great activity for families of all ages.
This tour or Austin was super fun! The length was perfect and our leader was amazing and showed us super cool locations and sights! Amazing ride
We participated in this adventure with our teen/young adult children and our whole family universally agreed that it was tons of fun. It was a great way to see the city of Austin, our guide was very friendly and funny, and my kids loved the stop at the Graffiti Park at Castle Hills, complete with a chance to spray paint things for themselves. (Spray paint provided as part of the tour.)
We had a great time with Patrick as our guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience so fun. As this was our first trip to Austin, it was such a great way to see the city and learn about its history. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Austin.
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.
The tour was so great!! Went to many different spots and saw some amazing sites!! The tour guide was amazing! He was funny and had everyone having a good time! He even upgraded us from one bike to two since we felt squished on one bike! (We had cameras and bags we had to carry) it was a great time! Will definitely do that again!!
This is hands down the best tour to take when visiting Austin! We had so much fun! It was like getting your first electric car toy when you were a kid at Christmas (Mine was a red Jeep) and now as an adult I got the same feeling with this fat tire electric bike! It was super easy to ride. We took the morning tour which started at 9 AM. Our tour guides Tyler and Cope were amazing! They showed us must see places in Austin and were really knowledgeable about the city. On our tour we saw The capital from afar, drove by the governors house, stopped at graffiti hills, showed us cool buildings and architecture downtown and some awesome art work and sculptures. Most importantly they did a great job keeping everyone safe and together. It’s not easy leading a pack of newbie electric bike riders around the streets of Austin Tx but they made it seem effortless. I highly recommend this and I plan to do this again every time I get near Austin! I really hope this business will open locations in other cities because I would go to them all!! Don’t forget to wear sunblock and sunglasses! And tennis shoes would probably be the best option for this activity.
As an Austinite, we will definitely bring our future guests on this adventure - great mix of murals and landmarks. We had such a wonderful time!!
One of the best things we did while visiting Austin. Our road Captain, Cope, was a blast to bomb around town with and very knowledgeable about the area considering he is a local and loves being one . Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting and new to the area and would likely also be something fun to do even if you've lived there as long as Cope.
Tour guide made it so easy to follow and enjoy the ride. Tour takes you through many points of interest where you can get off and take pics. The elec bikes were so much fun to ride, loved it.
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
