Amazing way to see Austin! Tyler was an amazing tour guide - we . thoroughly enjoyed our time with the gang! Highest of Recommendations!
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
Fantastic!! The whole experience was exciting and fun. If you're on the fence about trying this out, take that step and do it! Cope was our guide and did an excellent job showing my wife and I around the city and telling us some history along the way. It's not a strict tour, it's very laid back and extremely worth it!
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.
10/10 would do this again! Our guide was super friendly and showed us great views of Austin. The bikes are easy to drive and a really fun way to see beautiful parts of the city. It was very hot when we went, but we were provided ice cold waters and even made two pit stops to water parks to cool off. Very neat way to spend a couple hours on a sunny afternoon.
Cope was amazing ! We were a group that needed a little extra help! He was so patient and kind boy did we love it we went a bit over the time but, he did not care . Safety and fun was all he wanted for us! Great tour! I mean, we really loved it ! Highlight of our trip !! 10?stars guys! 10 stars!
I had friends from out of the country visiting and this was the perfect way showing them around. It was so much fun and our tour guide was great. Will be back in a couple of weeks with the next visitors.
The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
We planned two full days in Austin and had never been before. When I found this tour I was excited that it was on an electric bike since I knew we’d be able to cover more ground. The day of the tour was chilly in the 30s so we dressed warm. I’m glad we did it! John/Gator was an awesome guide full of stories and history of the city that we never would have learned on our own. He also had lots of great tips about places to check out while we’re in town. They take lots of photos which is nice, too. I’d do another tour with them for sure.
I have never ridden a motorcycle or moped- so was a little worried. No need to be worried! They teach you how to ride! Each tour is tailored for the group. We got to see so many interesting pieces of art, parks, and hear stories about interesting buildings. My 12 yr old son and I did this together while on vacation. We had only planned to do it once, but we found a way to fit in a second tour a couple days later! It is the best way to introduce yourself to a new city or see a city in a different way. My friend who has lived in Austin for 10 years didn’t know about some of the history and she saw new pieces of art via my photos from the tour. Worth doing more than once! More
This was a blast! It was so fun and such a great way to show some of our friends Downtown Austin! The bikes were fun to drive and easy to learn. Our guide Tyler was amazing! He was the greatest tour guide and very knowledgeable of the city and stops. We would absolutely do this again!
