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
Tyler was an awesome tour guide! He took us to some amazing sites, explained their background and it was just fun riding the bikes around town with my wife! I'd definitely recommend this tour!
Had a good time seeing Austin from the electric mini bikes. Rooster was a great tour guide. Only thing, he did not use the biker names given to us. Highly recommend this and the tour with Rooster.
We had a wonderful personalized tour through Austin. Tyler was a great guide and kept things fun and high-energy the entire time. A lovely way to get acquainted with the city and have a better feel for what there is to explore, as well as hitting some checklist landmarks (murals, buildings, etc).
Enjoyed it very much. Trip plan covered most of Austin's landmarks. The guide from rooster was very good.
Had an awesome time! Seeing the city like this is the way to go. I would do this everytime I visit Austin. So cool
Had a great time bringing teen boys to spend the days with their moms. Boys and moms enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely do it again if we have out of town guests
I had friends from out of the country visiting and this was the perfect way showing them around. It was so much fun and our tour guide was great. Will be back in a couple of weeks with the next visitors.
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.
Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!
