This was a great way to see a lot of the city. We did it on our first day to give us a feel for the different areas and where we wanted to spend more time later.
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 did this tour for a bachelorette weekend and we had soooo much fun! It was a really cool way to see a little of Austin, and try something new! The best part about the tour was our tour guide! Hands down Justin is thee best, very accommodating and I'm sure he's a professional photographer on the side! Thank you Justin, again you were the best!
Great way to see Austin!! We had too much fun and our tour guide, Tyler, was great!! We also really enjoyed lunch at the food truck!
More fun than we have had in a long time. Surprisingly easy to learn and ride. Very safe. The guides took us to places we have never seen before and we have lived here for 25 years. It was very affordable. You must try this. I am 63 years old.
This experience is a blast! Where else can you lean back on your own fat boy and cruise the City without a license to ride? Granted, they top out at 20mph and your guide takes pretty good care to make sure you don't end up in crazy bad traffic.We went out on the morning trek with Justin. He did a great job teaching us the basics before we hit the road. It is important to remember this is a 'tour', not just a ride. Consequently, you make several stops during the tour to dismount, chat and take pictures. In addition, you only move as fast as the slowest rider. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to the theory of Survival of the Fittest.Justin did a fine job explaining little factoids about the city as we tolled around. Our group was most interested in scenery and music, so those are the sites that he spent most of his time on. The only regret I have is I would have liked the option of cruising around a bit on my own at the end and just letting the bike fly down the streets. I think 20 miles per hour may be understating the performance of these beasts, but we never really had a chance to find out. More
Had a great time! Got to see parts of Austin I didn't know existed, all while riding on the lowdown with a Harley style electric fat wheeled scooter!
would do this again in a heartbeat. Cope was our guide and was so much fun and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend doing this as a team builder, family fun day, or a quick way to zoom around Austin. Can't wait to do this again.
Tyler was an awesome guide. He made us all feel safe and sound through his safety and test driving before we set out on the open road. This was a great way to see the city in a fun and informational way. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Austin city area looking for a unique and fun way to see the city! Great way to make teens happy on a "tourist" trip :)
My husband and I were visiting Austin for the weekend because his company has an annual party that we come down for. My husband, Donte, booked our Your Biker Gang tour and before we got started I was very nervous. Our guide, Joseph, was awesome. He made sure I left comfortable riding before we got on the road. He was also very knowledgeable about the city and as an elementary school teacher I also loved the background and history of the city. We stopped at the park to see the city skyline, Riley road with live music and bars, sixth street and Hope Outdoor Gallery. I would definitely recommend this to people who are adventurous and want to see cool spots in the city of Austin!
I loved this. It was the best thing I’ve done on my holiday! Me and my boyfriend can’t stop talking about it. The tour guy Patrick was great! So helpful and funny :). Definatly a must do!
