We had a wonderful personalized tour through Austin. Tyler was a great guide and kept things fun and high-energy the entire time. A lovely way to get acquainted with the city and have a better feel for what there is to explore, as well as hitting some checklist landmarks (murals, buildings, etc).
We showed up for our tour and found we were a gang of only 3 -- us (Blade and Alli-gator) and Rooster. Rooster was a teacher in a previous life and it shows. He's a smart guy who is really good at his job. We had a great time, covered a lot of downtown Austin, learned a lot, and even stopped off for a snack and rest along the way. The bikes are really easy to use, and Sunday morning could not have been a more perfect time to be out and about. I definitely recommend this tour for a good taste of Austin.
If you are planning a trip to Austin, do not miss this fun filled "biker tour" of Austin. Your hosts will make sure you are comfortable riding the mini-bikes. Tyler and Justin were both awesome instructors and tour guides.
John is was amazing!!! My boyfriend and I had a great time on our ride. We will recommend this tour.
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
Enjoyed it very much. Trip plan covered most of Austin's landmarks. The guide from rooster was very good.
My husband and I did the evening tour with Jon. He was so awesome, had that personality that you could have a conversation about anything with him. He showed us around the city and even went over our allotted time to show us some extra sites. Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, very knowledgeable road captain, smart idea, super safe, amazing city and a lot of fun for all!
Our guide was Justin. He was funny and informative. This was by far my kids most favorite part of the whole Austin trip. The bikes went as fast as I could handle and not 1 mph over. The rock and roll music that was played while we cruised was so extra!!! I loved the extra detail!!
Tyler was an awesome tour guide! He took us to some amazing sites, explained their background and it was just fun riding the bikes around town with my wife! I'd definitely recommend this tour!
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
