Awesome tour. Cope and Joe were great guides. Best way to see Austin. This is way better than any other kind of tour.
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
We were here in October and had a great time. Everyone was friendly, informative and so welcoming. The tour was so fun and you saw so much of the downtown. Riding the bikes is easier than it looks and a great alternative to your standard, boring bus tour. Our guide was fun, engaging and informative. Our group ranged in ages from 22-49 and we all loved it.
We had such a great time on this tour! This was our first visit to the beautiful city of Austin and decided to try this tour. What a great way to see the city! We would never have seen all that we did otherwise. Our guide showed us so many highlights and was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and i’s different neighborhoods. We enjoyed every minute!
We had a great time with Patrick as our guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience so fun. As this was our first trip to Austin, it was such a great way to see the city and learn about its history. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Austin.
I loved this experience! Jon was upbeat, knowledgeable about Austin, and customized the ride to the interests of his group. I highly recommend!
I did the tour on a sunny Saturday and it was perfect. The electric mini bikes are really easy to drive and are really fun. The tour itself contained some must see spots of Austin + some nice murals.The guide was a fun guy and he shared good information about Austin and its places.I would definitely do it again.
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!!
This was SOO much fun! The guides are the best! We had Peanut and Gator - excellent guides and incredibly fun. They take you around Austin, show you some sites, take some photos for you - all while playing some great "biker" music and having a good time. A definite must if you go to Austin!
We booked this in the early part of our Austin trip to get a little layout and introduction to the area. It was SXSW and the town was getting crazy. Our guide gave us some quick lessons, and we were off seeing local sites like Lady Bird Lake and the Willie Nelson Statue. During this trip we rode B cycles, jump scooters, and pedi cabs but this was the most fun. People we encountered would ask where they could rent these. These were for 2 hour tours but it would be fantastic to rent these by the day! FUN!
Had an awesome time touring Austin on the bikes. Patrick was awesome, could have been a boring ride, but he made it exciting and took us to a great BBQ.
