Definitely do this!!! What a blast we had and Tyler was a hilarious, engaging and informative guide. We loved every minute of our ride!
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 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!
Our biker gang was great for our family. Our kids loved it & still talk about it days after. Justin was a great tour guide & made everyone's tour memorable. He was especially good with our two boys. Definitely a "do over" tour. The "Bikes" were fun for the family too.
We tried this in the advice of a friend who did it. So when our out-of-town friends came to visit, we did it. Oh my gosh!!! It was soooooo much fun!!!! I highly recommend this. We saw so much of Austin we had never seen before and we’ve lived here 15 years. Our guide, Tyler, was excellent!!
8 friends from Toronto booked this tour and had a fabulous time. Our tour guide GATOR(aka John) made this tour memorable. His energy and personality provided our group with 2 hours of fun, laughs and good times. Gator made this experience awesome!!Highly recommend this tour!!!
As an Austinite, we will definitely bring our future guests on this adventure - great mix of murals and landmarks. We had such a wonderful time!!
Patrick was an awesome guide, so fun and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves his job and really goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has an awesome time!
We had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Tyler was awesome!! He was knowledgeable, fun, and VERY PATIENT! He is the absolute best!
6 Friends from Phila Pa visiting Austin Texas and what an experience we had...Gator our tour guide made the tour outstanding with lots of laughs ...He was energetic and had the best dance moves ever...Very educational and learned some history about Austin ...I would definitely recommend this activity and you will not be disappointed....
I came to Austin for the weekend with my parents and my cousin, and the first thing we did was do the electric mini bike tour. Patrick and Justin were so much fun! They taught us about the major spots in the city, played fun music and took great pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with decent balance who is visiting Austin. And even if you’re a little bit scarred or unsure, they are very accommodating. For example, my mom was unable to ride her own bike, so she ended up riding with Justin and had as much fun as the rest of us.
