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
My sister, mom and I (ages 40 - 67) had so much fun on this tour. Tyler, our guide, was super nice. We got to see so much of Austin up close in just two hours. Highly recommend.
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
Okay, a blast! Of course I love motoring around the city on a mini bike, crossing bridges, drinking espresso coffee by the river, but at first ai was wondering....is this safe? I was bringing my daughter who I let ride alone, and after a few minutes of deep breaths realized how safe Tyler our guide was so after that I realized and had a blast? Of course you should do it, what are you waiting for?!
We had a fantastic trip with our guide Cope, it was very informative and fun. My entire family had an awesome time.
The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
It was so much fun. The tour guide (Jon) gave us some history, fun, and of corse some iconic graffiti of austin. Never going to a regular tour again.
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!
It was more than we expected. Had a wonderful time. Our 2 guides on Friday 11/2/18 at 3 pm were great, full of information and extremely nice. Made the whole tour the best experience we had in Austin Suitable for all ages.... Thanks again. Bob & Ada.
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
We had a great time with Rooster! He was fun, energetic and showed us some great spots around Austin. We didn't realise how great Austin is with food, coffee, live music etc So much to do and see! Would highly recommend this tour, great to get your bearings and a feel for the City. The electric bikes are so much fun, hard to go back. Darren & Em.
