This is an amazing experience!! It is not just a fun experience but it is very educational! I am 73 and my wife is 63! WE didn't have any problems with the bikes! Our guide Gator ( John ) was an 11 on a ten scale! He could write a book on customer service! WE were laughing most of the time! You even get to give yourself biker names! Of course my wife came up with Mutt and Jeff and I was MUTT!!! We are going again when we go to Austin in the Spring!! Thanks GATOR!!!
First, the day was very hot, mid 90's. Biker Gang supplied us water and reminded us to keep hydrated. This was very good. Patrick was our group leader and was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The route was fun and informative considering it was just a two hour experience. We stopped several times for photo ops. My only suggestion would be for perhaps a little more practice time, but I was probably the slowest of our group of 6 to pick up the driving of the scooters. I just turned 60 and it's been a while since I've been on a bike and also had no clue about using a hand throttle. Even so, a very fun time!
We had Jon as our guide and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! He made sure we saw all the amazing sites of Austin AND took the time to take our photos! If you're up for an adventure and want to tour the city - GO WITH THIS OPTION! I can't recommend Jon and Your Biker Gang enough!! This was absolutely the best!
One of the best experiences in all of Texas! Full Family Fun!!!! Great tour, Great Guys, Great Time, and Great 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
This tour or Austin was super fun! The length was perfect and our leader was amazing and showed us super cool locations and sights! Amazing ride
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.
Highly recommend the tour if you are visiting for the first time. It will give you plenty of ideas of where to visit later. Justin our tour guide is lovely. Bikes are lots of fun
What a great couple of hours! Our guide was very friendly and fun! We went on the holiday tour and saw some wonderful holiday displays downtown. The stop at Mozart’s coffee shop was magical! Will definitely do it again!
We had a great time getting the “lay of the land” by cruising around the city with the gang while listening to music. Patrick quickly taught us how to safely operate our electric cycles and then led us to various spots for photo opportunities or interesting city history. We did the city tour and would do the food truck tour the next time. (Patrick...One small suggestion, add ‘Born to be Wild’ to your music playlist. )
Peanut and Rooster are Cool guys, and will show you Austin in a Rad way.A good time you shouldn’t pass up
