John and Justin were full of energy and knowledge! This is an excellent way to see Austin and learn about some history as you tour. The bike's were easy to navigate. Lots of photo ops along the way. The live jukebox with rock music playing as we strolled through the streets of Austin made us all feel like "rebels without a cause". If you have the time to spare, I would recommend this. And go early morning to avoid the heat. Thanks again, John and Justin!
Great way to see some of the highlights of Austin! Three bikes, three adults and one teen; a FUN and laid-back tour leader (Hi Tyler!); and a cool morning full of sunshine=an amazingly fun ride!! We all loved this tour and had SO much fun!
Joe, our Biker Captain, was awesome! He had great patience in teaching me quickly how to ride and stop the bike. He kept great watch over us throughout our ride. He was very knowledgeable and informative! THANKS FOR AN AMAZING TIME!
This is really a must do activity for anyone in Austin wanting to discover the city in a fun and interesting way. Our guide took us arround different parts of Austin making various stops to tell us about the city’s history, he made it extremely fun to learn. And of course riding the actual bikes was really cool ! Anyway all in all an amazing attraction which i would recommend fully !
John is was amazing!!! My boyfriend and I had a great time on our ride. We will recommend this tour.
The bikes were fun to ride, our entourage guide Rooster had tons of great information about Austin, and we were able to see some great highlights. Would definitely recommend this for a fun vacation activity!
Our tour guide (Tyler) was AMAZING! This was the most fun we had on our 4 day get away to Austin! Funnest way to see all the spots in Austin!
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
My friend and I had been stewing on the idea of wanting to do the biker tour for one long year and it was even better than we could have imagined. Tyler was entertaining and fun and we had a great group of people to ride around with. We even got to meet another employee Patrick at the end of the day and treated us like we were old friends, he was the cherry on top. Definitely coming back again!
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
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.
