Had a fantastic time zooming around Austin on a guided tour. The guides were great fun and very knowledgable and the bikes are so much fun to ride. 100% recommend this activity. Brilliant!
We had Rooster as a guide and he couldn’t have done better! We ended up as the only people and he readjusted the tour to take us on an overview of the area homes and unique buildings and scenery. Loved every minute!
This is a must tour! Forget about walking! Ride in style and and a unique adventure for sure, we enjoyed it.
I did one of the night tours, and it was an interesting way to see the city. I'll be honest though, the majority of the fun on the tour is riding the bikes! I enjoyed that the guides were caring and thoughtful when teaching you how to ride the bike as well as during the ride itself. As for the tour, it was a bit more difficult to view things at night - but I still got a good perspective on Austin, and I'd consider doing a similar tour in a different city the next time around.Many thanks to the guides!
We just got back from a bachelorette party in Austin and this was the highlight of our trip! Patrick was incredibly kind and accommodating when our morning tour was rained out and was able to squeeze in an afternoon tour for 6 of us. Rooster was our guide and did an incredible job of wrangling us 6 inexperienced ladies and keeping us safe on the road. We saw so much of the city and got some amazing pictures. Rooster posed us for all the pictures and they could all be album covers. Don't hesitate to book this tour, it will be the most memorable part of your trip!
Our tour was Friday morning during SXSW week - weather was perfect... Our tour guide was Patrick, he was GREAT, friendly and informative. I learned several factoids about Austin. We will definitely do it again, but next time will try the food truck tour. Great activity for families of all ages.
we loved riding around on the bikes- very fun. And our leader was fantastic- Gator... very knowledgeable about the city, history and the local folklore... he was amicable, funny and patient :)
My husband and I loved this experience! We had so much fun and would definitely recommend it to others. One of our favorite parts of our Austin trip!
We planned two full days in Austin and had never been before. When I found this tour I was excited that it was on an electric bike since I knew we’d be able to cover more ground. The day of the tour was chilly in the 30s so we dressed warm. I’m glad we did it! John/Gator was an awesome guide full of stories and history of the city that we never would have learned on our own. He also had lots of great tips about places to check out while we’re in town. They take lots of photos which is nice, too. I’d do another tour with them for sure.
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
Lots of fun for me and my 7 yo and 17 yo. My son rode with me and my daughter had her own bike. Great tour of Austin
