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 recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
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!!
Peanut and Rooster are Cool guys, and will show you Austin in a Rad way.A good time you shouldn’t pass up
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!!
We had a ball and will do it again. A super fun way to spend a hot evening in Austin, Our guides were terrific and we learned about a few cool sites in Austin we didn't know about- (we live here). Would highly recommend.The electric mini-bikes are easy!
Our tour guide was awesome! Very enthusiastic and was knowlegeable about the area. He was funny, and had great charisma :)
I have never ridden a motorcycle or moped- so was a little worried. No need to be worried! They teach you how to ride! Each tour is tailored for the group. We got to see so many interesting pieces of art, parks, and hear stories about interesting buildings. My 12 yr old son and I did this together while on vacation. We had only planned to do it once, but we found a way to fit in a second tour a couple days later! It is the best way to introduce yourself to a new city or see a city in a different way. My friend who has lived in Austin for 10 years didn’t know about some of the history and she saw new pieces of art via my photos from the tour. Worth doing more than once! More
We had a great time getting the “lay of the land” by cruising around the city with the gang while listening to music. Patrick quickly taught us how to safely operate our electric cycles and then led us to various spots for photo opportunities or interesting city history. We did the city tour and would do the food truck tour the next time. (Patrick...One small suggestion, add ‘Born to be Wild’ to your music playlist. )
Tyler was awesome! My sister and I had a ton of fun and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Most fun I've had while living in Austin. And that's saying something!
