My family of 4 rented 2 e-bikes and did the city tour with Gator. The bikes were fun to ride, safe with with kids. We hit a bunch of hotspots, and Gator kept it fun.
Such a fun outing! The bikes are easy to operate and there is great leadership from their staff too.
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
So much fun! Highly recommend as it is a great way to see Austin but also loads of fun riding the bikes. The guides are amazing! They take (free) photos the whole trip using either your phones or theirs. And don't worry about riding the bikes as they make sure everyone is comfortable even making you do a few circles in an empty car park to get use to the feel.Seriously cannot recommend this enough... DO IT!
My friend and I were visiting Austin for a fun weekend. We were waiting to watch the bats fly out from the bridge when the biker gang drove by honking their horns, shouting, and overall having a great time. Immediately, we signed up online. Tyler, our guide was an amazing tour guide, that knew everything about Austin. The bikes are easy to ride, and the feeling over cruising through town on a cool motorbike was amazing. Tyler took awesome pictures which were provided to us afterwards and even took us to some new places around town. We stopped and ate lunch at one of the local food trucks, which provided a nice opportunity to talk to Tyler and enjoy some delicious food!I would highly recommend this activity to everyone. Definitely sign up for your own bike, as it's exciting to be able to drive yourself around town! SO MUCH FUN!! More
We loved this Trip. Whole Family had fun. Kids enjoyed it. Guide trained on bikes and then took us through different parts of Austin. He was fun, Listened to us and showed places that we asked for. Only bad part was weather. At 9 AM , it was bit cloudy and chilly but light jackets helped.
Saw these guys cruising one day around town and knew we had to give it a try. Been to Austin many times but have never done the "tourist" thing. What a fun way to explore, be silly yet super cool! I have never ridden any type of motor or electric bike so I had a bit of a learning curve, but I definitely got the hang of it fairly quickly. We had a nice lap around the city and saw some great views. The content was a bit light and could have added a couple more sites (Congress, UT campus, etc.), but that's my only constructive feedback. Our guide Joe was awesome, super patient and careful looking out for us riders. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a new way to see the city! More
We had a great time. The Guide was so supportive and educational. Would definitely recommend this tour of Austin, TX
Your biker gang is awesome!!! We first learn the basics of riding the electric bike in the back parking lot, then we tour around the city. Absolutely the best tour I’ve been on!! Riding with the gang has definitely made us look cooler than any other on wheels tour! Tyler was amazing! He has a good vibe and made sure everyone is safe and had a great time! Highly recommend if you’re in town. You won’t regret 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.
Our ride was so much fun! Dennis was our guide and was very informative and personable. The weather was great and we just had a good time riding around the city looking AND being looked at by others! We did a couple other tourist attractions, but this was by far the most fun. Highly recommend to all ages. My husband is in his 60's and me in my 50's. Haven't done anything like this in years...
