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.
Tyler really brought the energy and excitement and turned a cold and lightly rainy day into a blast!He brought us around the sights and we had a great stop at a cafe to get some nice hot coffee and something to eat.One of the coolest stops was definitely the graffiti palace~
Patrick was a fun and very enthusiastic tour guide. He took as much time as we wanted and was very informative. We had a lot of laughs
This was by far the highlight of our trip! SO MUCH FUN!!! The 2 guys, Peanut and Gator, were excellent. Fun and funny and knowledgeable. First off, they took us through how to ride the bike. Very safety conscious. And were very attentive throughout the tour checking in with us to make sure we were ok. Once I got over my initial nervousness of riding the bike (I've never ridden one before) I relaxed and it was easy to ride. Seriously, not hard at all. And I'm a small woman, only 5' tall and had no trouble whatsoever. And then we were off on the streets of downtown Austin. We stopped throughout the 2 hour tour for Peanut to shows us stuff as we went. There were 8 people in our "gang". And honestly the funnest and best thing we did in Austin. I can't recommend it enough!!!
We had a great time with Rooster! He was fun, energetic and showed us some great spots around Austin. We didn't realise how great Austin is with food, coffee, live music etc So much to do and see! Would highly recommend this tour, great to get your bearings and a feel for the City. The electric bikes are so much fun, hard to go back. Darren & Em.
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
Lots of fun for me and my 7 yo and 17 yo. My son rode with me and my daughter had her own bike. Great tour of Austin
My wife and I had a great time riding the fat wheel electric bikes. We were the only two in our group so we received a personal tour from our guide Tyler, he's awesome! Tyler was informative, patient, and funny he definitely made the experience worth while.
Great tour, very knowledgeable road captain, smart idea, super safe, amazing city and a lot of fun for all!
More than a real sightseeing tour of any heft, this was more a chilled out bike ride. But if you haven't ridden on one of these types of fat wheel electric bikes, it's quite fun. Worth the cost if you're two people on one bike.
We had a great time getting the “lay of the land” by cruising around the city with the gang while listening to music. Patrick quickly taught us how to safely operate our electric cycles and then led us to various spots for photo opportunities or interesting city history. We did the city tour and would do the food truck tour the next time. (Patrick...One small suggestion, add ‘Born to be Wild’ to your music playlist. )
