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!
What a great way to tour Austin. The biker gang tour was a blast. Our guide (Tyler) was terrific - so fun and knowledgeable. The whole experience was excellent. The company is very well run. Easy to sign up, easy to get there, easy to ride the bikes, easy and fun in every way. I recommend it without reservations.
This was by far the highlight of our trip! SO MUCH FUN!!! The 2 guys, Peanut and Gator, were excellent. Fun and funny and knowledgeable. First off, they took us through how to ride the bike. Very safety conscious. And were very attentive throughout the tour checking in with us to make sure we were ok. Once I got over my initial nervousness of riding the bike (I've never ridden one before) I relaxed and it was easy to ride. Seriously, not hard at all. And I'm a small woman, only 5' tall and had no trouble whatsoever. And then we were off on the streets of downtown Austin. We stopped throughout the 2 hour tour for Peanut to shows us stuff as we went. There were 8 people in our "gang". And honestly the funnest and best thing we did in Austin. I can't recommend it enough!!!
Holy cow! What an amazing way to explore a city! This is very unique and different from other tours I have taken, where you usually get talked at for an hour and you just snap photos that you'll never look at again. Using electric scooters allows you to truly immerse yourself and be involved with the experience. Our tour guide Tyler was very accommodating to what we wanted to learn about Austin and a great teacher for learning how to drive the bikes.I would recommended booking at the beginning of a trip, because Tyler showed us stuff we would've never known to visit without his recommendations.
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 had a blast. These are fun and funny. We were in town for a wedding/family reunion and one of the family members saw this and thought it would be fun and it turned out to be a blast!
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 with our biker gang. Our guide Patrick was fun and knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. Even though it was cold weather we had a good time. They provided gloves and bandanas to stay warm. Would suggest it to anyone that wants to see Austin in a totally unique way!
Listen, I’m not a “tour guy”. The last tour I can recall doing was Alcatraz when I was 12. But, let me tell you - This was a BLAST! The tour guides are very knowledgeable, the bikes are a blast to ride (and VERY easy to learn), and our 7 year old twins loved getting to ride with us. Whether you’re local or a tourist, go do this. You’ll have a great time.
We went today for our first time and it was awesome. We had Tyler as our guide and his personality and energy was great! We loved every freaking bit of our tour. It was freezing and yet no part of the tour made us care about how cold it was because he was great! I would recommend them to any and everyone!!! Thanks for an awesome tour!
This was a very fun, educational, and fun experience. Yep. I typed fun twice!Great tour of Austin. Saw many colorful artistic murals, big beautiful skyscrapers downtown, Austin City Limits, Willie Nelson's statue, the State Capitol, Governor's Mansion, Sandra Bullock's restaurant, Austin City Hall, and the beautiful people of Austin along the sidewalks.Our tour-guide was Patrick. Great guy. Very positive and optimistic, and smiling the entire time. He took a lot of care to ensure we were all safe in learning how to ride the electric motorbikes, as well as test driving in the back alley and parking garage nearby. He provided a very informative, educational, and fun ride, with about 7 or 8 stops along the way. Even had some good-natured, friendly baseball rivalry banter with him being a Yankees fan and I a Red Sox fan... all the way down in here in Texas!Highly recommended! More
