Probably my favorite thing we did in Austin! I recommend doing this the first day you’re visiting because they take you all around the city and show the highlights... from Rainey Street to the capitol building to Barton Springs. They are incredibly friendly at the HQ, and our guide Cope was amazing!!
I booked this as something fun to do while visiting my 25 yr old son for the weekend. Was looking for an activity that he would enjoy doing too, while giving me a nice overview of downtown Austin. We did the 9am tour on a Saturday in June, which was perfect. It hadn't gotten hot yet, and there wasn't much traffic. Our guide Tyler was great - a perfect mix of knowledgeable, enthusiastic and silly.
It was a lot of fun! Cole was a great guide. I will do this again when family comes to visit. We learned a lot.
We were here in October and had a great time. Everyone was friendly, informative and so welcoming. The tour was so fun and you saw so much of the downtown. Riding the bikes is easier than it looks and a great alternative to your standard, boring bus tour. Our guide was fun, engaging and informative. Our group ranged in ages from 22-49 and we all loved it.
We had a great afternoon! Much quicker and fun way to get an overview of downtown Austin. Lots of Instagram ready pics and a super fun guide. Worth your time.
This tour or Austin was super fun! The length was perfect and our leader was amazing and showed us super cool locations and sights! Amazing ride
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
What fun! This is a must while in Austin. Gramps (Tyler) was a fun and energetic tour guide. Because of this tour we went to the city library, which is beautiful, and so unique. We never would have gone to the library! Just Do It!
Had a great time with our biker gang. Our guide Patrick was fun and knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. Even though it was cold weather we had a good time. They provided gloves and bandanas to stay warm. Would suggest it to anyone that wants to see Austin in a totally unique way!
Had an awesome time touring Austin on the bikes. Patrick was awesome, could have been a boring ride, but he made it exciting and took us to a great BBQ.
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
