I had a blast on this tour! We had Tyler as our guide and he was so much fun that two people in our group actually scheduled the tour again later that week! I would highly recommend taking this tour and the bikes weren’t hard to drive once you got the hang of 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
Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing city.
Tyler was an awesome instructor, great arvo full of fun, smiles & lots of beeping!! Definitely recommend for anyone that heads to Austin.
Had a blast checking out Austin and riding these fun bikes!! I recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!!
This tour was so much fun. We got some great pictures at the murals. Very safe and plenty of hands on instruction before hitting the road. We had Patrick as a tour guide and really enjoyed his reggae music. People always smile as you pass by. Just do it! You will be so glad you did!
What a fun way to see the city. Our road captain, Joseph, made sure we had a full safety briefing and training before hitting the road. I’m in a cast for a broken wrist so was a passenger. Would have been comfortable as the driver otherwise. Loved seeing the Hope Outdoor Gallery before it gets torn down. Definitely would recommend this to anyone.
The experience itself was amazing! Pair that with a great tour guide, the fun city of Austin and it is out of this world! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to do a tour of the city. It's a very creative twist of getting around (instead of boring tour buses).
My girlfriend and I took this tour together when we were in town for the weekend and had a blast. The weather wasn’t the best as it was cold and drizzling, but that lead us to have our own private tour and our guides still put in a ton of effort to make sure we had the best time. The tour is very customizable, and the motor bikes were a ton of fun. Definitely a great and unique way to see the sights. And really a good bargain, especially since you pay per bike and it seats 2 people. Highly recommend.
Oh my! We had so much fun on these bikes. My wife who has never ridden was a little apprehensive at first but within 5 minutes she was loving it. The tour guide was great, such a cool guy and full of knowledge. This has been my favourite tour anywhere!!
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. )
