This tour is a fun way to see Austin. Looks intimidating to ride but it is easy after a few minutes of practice in the parking lot. Our guide Patrick was super upbeat and fun touring us through the main parts of downtown Austin. He's extremely knowledgeable too. Would ride again and would definitely recommend!
This was by far our favorite thing to do. U MUST request JUSTIN. Extremely knowledgeable of the city and so much fun. People on the street were jealous of us riding ;) Thank u Justin for making our experience in Austin one to remember!
Just a fantastic way to learn about the city of Austin.Gator was an excellent guide and thoughtfully adapted my tour to match things I'd mentioned earlier.It could have been a slightly sad day on my own ( I'm on a business trip - don't know anyone here). Instead I found myself laughing with Gator as we rode the streets to Starship "We built this city" and other well chosen music.The bikes are easy to learn. I'm mid 50's and never ridden a motor bike, so it can't be hard.I'll be back when I'm next in town.
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
Absolutely the best way to see Austin. My brother, cousin and I rode around town and had a blast today!
Patrick was our guide and he did a fantastic job making things fun, taking us to a great food truck park (with excellent recommendations) and then all across downtown to take pictures at the famous murals. We had the BEST time!! I will be taking all my friends, and kids! Such a fun way to see Austin!
Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!
Rooster was a great tour guide. He customized some places based on my interests, and we covered a lot of ground. Great information along the way. I very much enjoyed it!!
My husband and I took this tour, after we had done a few Segway tours in other towns. The guide provided good instruction and fun facts of the cool things that we were stopping to see.
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!
Since we arrived Tyler, our captain for the visit, was very attentive, trying to make our experience the best. Fun ride through Austin downtown, with a stop for lunch at Torchy’s (ask Tyler to take you there). Riding the bikes is safe and easy, even for people without experience. The sights are wonderful, this tour is highly recommended.
