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!!
Had a great tour of the city with our tour guide Justin! My wife and I had a great time seeing the city, and Justin showed us interesting things that the average tour might not go over, such as fun facts about the buildings and parks. He was friendly and engaging, and took plenty of pictures of us. Thanks for a great time!
Fantastic tour with Pat and Justin. Got to see a ton of the city while having fun and learning a lot. I would do this tour if you are in Austin!
You can't miss this opportunity to see Austin. It was, great, fun, and the perfect way to explore parts of Austin you wouldn't normally see otherwise. Will be doing it again next time!!
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
4 of us 40 somethings got a lay of the land in the Austin downtown area on a Saturday morning. We had an excellent guide and were taken to 4 or 5 amazing spots for pictures. One of the stops include a French style coffee shop and the chocolate croissants were fantastic. Definitely recommend.
Joining this biker gang is a must! Tyler, our road captain was so funny, fun and full of energy from the moment he greeted us. He made sure we were all comfortable; he was encouraging every step of the way. He was constantly telling jokes and making us laugh. He kept a smile on our faces the entire ride. The stops on the tour were great too! He toe us a little history/background or the places; we were able to take pics. Overall great experience!
Our guide was Tyler and he was perfect. Knowledgeable, helpful and fun; seriously great at his job. It was a gorgeous day and, after our training, we felt completely comfortable on the bikes. We saw a lot of the town and loved the experience. It was one of our favorite parts of our trip. I would go on another ride if there was one near where I live. Thank you again! Catherine
After finding these guys on the net before leaving the UK we booked three of us in for a 9am tour ( approx 2.5 hours ).We turned up at HQ and were greater by Tyler ,he was extremely friendly, enthusiastic and warmly welcoming , after showing us round the bikes and explaining the controls we were taken to an of road area where Tyler made sure we had control before we went on the road.The tour was fantastic fun, extremely good and a brilliant way of having a guided tour of the city ( with an extremely knowledgeable guide )this is a must do tour that will make your smile a mile wide ,do it or miss out.
We were only in Austin 2 days and wanted to see a good bit of the city. Tyler made sure we saw some really cool scenes, took some cool pictures and kept us laughing. It was really cold out so we were going to rethink going but I’m glad we did it!!
We had a ton of fun. Perfect for taking out of town guests on a tour of Austin. I live in Austin, but I learned lots of new facts and saw new places I didn’t know where there. This is a great way to see Austin.
