Couldn't have found a more fun way to see and learn about the city. The tour guides were extremely helpful and thoughtful, providing water to help cool down and even bringing extra sun screen for the long ride. Playing on the theme of a being in a biker gang is what sets this place apart from everyone. Well done guys!
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.
Excellent trip. Justin did outstanding job guiding us around town and giving us history lessons as we went. He took us to a great place to see all the bats fly out from under the bridge. Definitely a fun time. You’ll be glad you did it!
Make sure you do this! We had an absolute blast. Great tour guides. Fun and easy to ride bikes. You’ll have a great time!!!
This is just the best way to get a feel for the city! It was great fun picking our "biker names," gearing up for the ride, hopping on the bikes and establishing our presence on the roads of Austin! We had a blast!... "Rooster" was the best guide... very fun and funny, very knowledgeable about the city, and very attentive to make sure we were all comfortable and safe! If you're in Austin... Do this!
Saw these guys cruising one day around town and knew we had to give it a try. Been to Austin many times but have never done the "tourist" thing. What a fun way to explore, be silly yet super cool! I have never ridden any type of motor or electric bike so I had a bit of a learning curve, but I definitely got the hang of it fairly quickly. We had a nice lap around the city and saw some great views. The content was a bit light and could have added a couple more sites (Congress, UT campus, etc.), but that's my only constructive feedback. Our guide Joe was awesome, super patient and careful looking out for us riders. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a new way to see the city! More
I spent 3 days in Austin and am sure that the Biker Gang Tour was the best activity I did there. It was super fun! Tyler was a great teacher and guide. Highly recommend!
My family took the tour during SXSW week. Everyone in the group felt like the tour was awesome and would do it again on the next visit! The tour guide was full of energy, was funny, whipped us around town safely/efficiently, and stopped for pictures/info at cool sites.
My husband and I took this tour, after we had done a few Segway tours in other towns. The guide provided good instruction and fun facts of the cool things that we were stopping to see.
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
Amazing staff! Our guide had energy, passion and a love for the city and our ride! They gave us good instruction, then we set off on a fun tour of the city! They are the best
