We have never been to Austin and ran across this fat tire electric bike tour online. We do a tour every vacation we go on. This was so much fun for the whole family. The guys really went above and beyond what you pay for. Perfect way to see Austin!
Loved getting to see the different “touristy” spots. Our tour guide got to know everyone and was super fun and enthusiastic, which made the whole trip. Bikes were fun, and cheap for 2 people. Loved it and would recommend to any visitors to Austin!
If you only have a short time in Austin this is a great taste of what exist. We did the food truck tour and enjoyed. However we had been in Austin for a few days prior so we had already been to the food trucks we had visited and seen most of the locations we drove by, however the tour is great if you want to see them quickly on a short visit.
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
This tour was so much fun. We got some great pictures at the murals. Very safe and plenty of hands on instruction before hitting the road. We had Patrick as a tour guide and really enjoyed his reggae music. People always smile as you pass by. Just do it! You will be so glad you did!
We had a great time with Patrick on our "biker gang" tour of Austin. He was fun and very accommodating for pictures. We had hoped we would have seen more of the sights of Austin. Much of the tour was through a more run-down part of the city.
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!
You guys are awesome - a fun way to see som of the sights in Austin. Would highly recommended to anyone.
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!!!
Amazing time, the guide was excellent, tour was well planned and executed. The whole event was a lot of fun!!
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!
