We spent two + hours with Gator, who was an extremely fun giude. He kept us entertained with info on the city and impromptu dance moves at every red light! I would highly recommend this tour, and especially if you ask for Gator as your guide.
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 guide was awesome and extremely detailed in the tour. he took us all over Austin and showed us some of the unexplored places around the city!
So much fun! Highly recommend as it is a great way to see Austin but also loads of fun riding the bikes. The guides are amazing! They take (free) photos the whole trip using either your phones or theirs. And don't worry about riding the bikes as they make sure everyone is comfortable even making you do a few circles in an empty car park to get use to the feel.Seriously cannot recommend this enough... DO IT!
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!
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 :)
Tyler was an awesome instructor, great arvo full of fun, smiles & lots of beeping!! Definitely recommend for anyone that heads to Austin.
Tour guide made it so easy to follow and enjoy the ride. Tour takes you through many points of interest where you can get off and take pics. The elec bikes were so much fun to ride, loved it.
First time seeing Austin and I thought it be a fun and unique was to do it. I was very happy I did it this way too. Rooster my tour guide showed us all the gems of the city, well known and some really cool lesser known ones. I did the lunch tour and I got some really good local favorite too.
IF YOU’RE in Austin take this tour!!!! The guide is awesome and knowledgeable. I would do this tour over and over again!
It was our first visit to and we had an Amazing time. It was a fun experience and I totally recommend it!
