Although it was a very cold day in Austin, Rooster and Gator made it an enjoyable and fun experience! My suggestion is check the weather before booking and if it’s warm and clear don’t skip this trip, very fun and super informative.
The guides of this tour are very enthusiastic and have tons of personality! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city and food attractions. And the bikes were a blast.
Had an amazing time on our ride in Austin. Would totally do it again and recommend it to anyone looking to take a tour of Austin. This is the way to go. So much fun!
We had an absolute blast touring Austin with our tour guide Gator. The trip was fun and informative. We learned some cool things about Austin. We would highly recommend this experience.
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
Such a great way to experience the city; you learn all the popular locals and lesser known hideaways. Patrick was an awesome guide!
My parents were visiting and this was the perfect way to show them around the city. A comfortable ride and friendly, thoughtful outgoing tour guides made this the highlight of our trip! We did the morning ride which was nice because it was cooler and traffic was lighter. I highly recommend this excursion over pedalhoppers or segways (I’ve done both). Tyler and Reagan were our guides and were GREAT. Knowledgeable, fun, and also mindful to keep our large group out of the ways of cars, joggers and other bikers. Book with them if you can!
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.
My sister, mom and I (ages 40 - 67) had so much fun on this tour. Tyler, our guide, was super nice. We got to see so much of Austin up close in just two hours. Highly recommend.
We had a great time with Patrick this past weekend! There were 7 of us on a girls trip and the tour was a blast! I would recommend it to everyone! A unique way to see the sights of Austin! Don't miss it!
I am a true native Austinite and this was one of the FUNNEST adventures I have done in this city. I was sad when it was over. We are definitely going back and doing this again. Maybe the night tour next time. Our gang leader (ride captain) was Tyler. Wow! Right guy for the job. He was SO funny and made this the best experience. Thank you Tyler and Biker Gang!!!
