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!!
Absolutely amazing experience!!! Our "gang leader" was Patrick and was just awesome! He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about Austin. Patrick explained everything exceedingly well and thoroughly. He is just straight up an awesome dude. This experience is worth MUCH more than what we paid for. Definitely will be revisiting next time we're in Austin!
This was one of the best downtown weekend activities we have ever done as a family! We booked our tour on a Sunday and took both kids with us. This was a dual father son birthday present and we all had a blast. Our guide was great and the enjoyment and experience we had was equally matched by what we spent for the tour. The motor bike was easy to maneuver and thankfully there is a good amount of practice before getting on the road. The stops along the tour were awesome and our guide provided a thorough and interesting commentary of Austin and Texas facts along the way. This is absolutely worth every penny and an experience you won't forget! I would recommend definitely checking weather conditions and dressing comfortably.
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
We came to town on business. We were able to escape and ride the tour. Our guide Rooster (Patrick) was incredible! It was safe, fun, and you’re able to learn a lot about the city. It is a beautiful place and the bike allows you to get around easily and experience many great sights.
It was a awesome experience riding the bikes all around town. Literally easy to ride. Our guide Cope was a lot of fun and quite informative on historical sites and events around town. Would do it again fo sho
We had so much fun doing this electric bike tour with Justin! He was so much fun and you could tell he was very passionate about making sure everyone had a good time and was comfortable and safe on their bikes. We were a little nervous at first, but Justin was very encouraging, helpful and patient with beginners! After some practice, we were on the road, and boy did we have a blast! Justin showed us some unique spots around the city that we would have never seen on our own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone- whether you are an experienced or beginning rider. You won’t regret it! Thanks to Justin and the rest of the team for making us feel comfortable and welcome and for showing us a great time. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! More
The experience itself was amazing! Pair that with a great tour guide, the fun city of Austin and it is out of this world! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to do a tour of the city. It's a very creative twist of getting around (instead of boring tour buses).
Was a good time, very entertaining. I wish there was a little more siteseeing involved, but sometimes its a little tough when you are in the middle of traffic.
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.
Tyler was an awesome guide. He made us all feel safe and sound through his safety and test driving before we set out on the open road. This was a great way to see the city in a fun and informational way. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Austin city area looking for a unique and fun way to see the city! Great way to make teens happy on a "tourist" trip :)
