Thanks to our tour guide Peanut we had the best time. We ate good food, saw beautiful art and learned about the city. I would say our biker gang was the best out on the streets that day. We couldn't have asked for a better day it was absolutely beautiful. If you are in Austin and wondering if this is something you will enjoy...DO IT!
I was in Austin for a limited amount of time. This tour let me see a lot of cool spots that i would have never known about. They let you chose what you'd rather see - between art, nightlife spots, museums, etc. Riding through the city on these fat tire bikes were a lot of fun, we also had some great music playing and it was a beautiful day outside. I would recommend and would go again.
We had so much fun on this tour. Pat was a fantastic guide and got us around to what we wanted to see safely and efficiently. A great way to see attractions and murals around the city. They are flexible and can adjust the route to cover what your or your group are looking to explore.The bikes were easy to pick up, and drivers in Austin were largely friendly to our group even as we shared the road with them.
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!
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!!
It was so much fun. The tour guide (Jon) gave us some history, fun, and of corse some iconic graffiti of austin. Never going to a regular tour again.
This turned out to be such a cool and unique experience that was fun for my whole family. We saw many different places and sites around Austin that we might not have seen just looking around on our own. The bikes were comfortable and very easy to operate. I was a little hesitant at first with how busy it is in the area and having my 8 year-old on one of the bikes...but Cope, our amazing Road Captain kept us all together and made sure everything was super safe and controlled throughout the tour! She and all my older boys absolutely loved it!
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 was one of the most fun things we have ever done. What an amazing way to see Austin. Our O.G was Peanut. He was funny, full of great Austin facts, played good music and took some awesome pictures of us along out route. I was a terrible driver, but the bikes were pretty easy to handle, and I would still recommend this anyone old or young.
Tyler was Nothing but Excellent. He knew the city, history, he was excellant instructor and he was awesome to hang out with!
I went on the tour of Austin with the Biker Gang Tour with my 2 sons and husband. We had a great time. It was educational and interesting and a lot of fun. Our tour guide was " Joe " and he was very knowledgeable and fun.
