First time in Austin and could not have picked a better way to see the city!! Patrick taught us some Austin history, took us to an amazingly delicious food truck park, and made sure we were all safe and comfortable on the bikes before venturing out onto the streets. This is a MUST DO!!! You pay for the bike and the passenger rides for free. He provided us each with 2 bottles of water, a poncho (if needed) and sunscreen.
Tyler was an amazing guide and catered the experience to what we were interested in. From seeing the best murals around town to getting shaved ice! He had interesting stories and insights around all parts of the city we visited.
Jo (our tour guide) was awesome, the bikes were the best to get around the city. Everybody enjoyed this activity!
I loved this. It was the best thing I’ve done on my holiday! Me and my boyfriend can’t stop talking about it. The tour guy Patrick was great! So helpful and funny :). Definatly a must do!
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!
I do a lot of traveling. And I taken a lot of Tours. This by far was the most interesting and the most fun. First of all its extremely hot in Austin so taking a tour during the day is out. Doing this tour at dusk was phenomenal you get to see all the lights you get to see the bats and get to ride with some excellent music and a phenomenal tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable I even asked off the wall questions and he knew the answers. If you can only do one tour in Austin this is the one you should do.
This was our first time on electric bikes and we had a great time. We would like to get back and do it again with friends.
We showed up for our tour and found we were a gang of only 3 -- us (Blade and Alli-gator) and Rooster. Rooster was a teacher in a previous life and it shows. He's a smart guy who is really good at his job. We had a great time, covered a lot of downtown Austin, learned a lot, and even stopped off for a snack and rest along the way. The bikes are really easy to use, and Sunday morning could not have been a more perfect time to be out and about. I definitely recommend this tour for a good taste of Austin.
What a great time! Such a fun and unique way to view Austin. The weather was not the best but the rain added to our adventure. Even though we weren't able to stop at as many places Cope made the best of it. Thanks Cope! Like hope not coupe. lol
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
This tour is a fun way to see Austin. Looks intimidating to ride but it is easy after a few minutes of practice in the parking lot. Our guide Patrick was super upbeat and fun touring us through the main parts of downtown Austin. He's extremely knowledgeable too. Would ride again and would definitely recommend!
