Tour of the city with a stop at some good trucks ( could have lived without) but the tour of city sights was fun and informative. Definitely recommend as an introduction to Austin
Had a great tour of the city with our tour guide Justin! My wife and I had a great time seeing the city, and Justin showed us interesting things that the average tour might not go over, such as fun facts about the buildings and parks. He was friendly and engaging, and took plenty of pictures of us. Thanks for a great time!
What an amazing experience we had . Such a great and unique way to see Austin. I would highly recommend
If you’re considering a tour of downtown, this is the way to go! Great guides that have fun and make sure that you do too. We stopped along the 2 hour ride and Patrick took pictures of us in front of the murals. Very informative tour about the history of Austin, but definitely not overboard. I did not feel like there would be a test at the end. I’ve gone on a tour before in a hybrid bike, you can pedal or let the electric motor take over... but this is the way to go. 6 out of 5 stars.
We came to town on business. We were able to escape and ride the tour. Our guide Rooster (Patrick) was incredible! It was safe, fun, and you’re able to learn a lot about the city. It is a beautiful place and the bike allows you to get around easily and experience many great sights.
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
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
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!
I did one of the night tours, and it was an interesting way to see the city. I'll be honest though, the majority of the fun on the tour is riding the bikes! I enjoyed that the guides were caring and thoughtful when teaching you how to ride the bike as well as during the ride itself. As for the tour, it was a bit more difficult to view things at night - but I still got a good perspective on Austin, and I'd consider doing a similar tour in a different city the next time around.Many thanks to the guides!
Justin, our tour guide was nothing short of awesome. Super enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and straight up fun. Would definitely recommend!
Had a great time. Felt like it was worth the money. Very safe and easy to ride. Would recommend as a quick excursion to get a little history on the city
