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.
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
I highly recommend this tour! Our guide Peanut was amazing, full of energy, and full of fun facts about the city!
The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
The mini bikes were fun and the tour was great. Patrick was a great tour guide. It was 2 hours, so good value for the price. We saw a lot of Austin while zipping around.
This a great activity to do with friends and have a good time. We had Justin for our biker gang tour and he was fantastic.
My wife and I took a 2 hour tour of Austin on an electric fat tire bike. As first time visitors, it was a great way to start the vacation and explore the city. Plus, our guide was informative and patient with us as newbie riders.
My friends and I were in Austin for a series of business meetings and had an afternoon to kill. We were interested in touring the city and were recommended to Your Biker Gang. Our guide was awesome and we had a blast riding around the city on our electric “choppers”. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the sites in a fun/unique way!!!
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
Tyler was Nothing but Excellent. He knew the city, history, he was excellant instructor and he was awesome to hang out with!
Wonderful...we are 60+ first timers. The staff was patient and very supportive. We saw Austin in a fun and memorable manner. A must for all
