The bikes were fun to ride, our entourage guide Rooster had tons of great information about Austin, and we were able to see some great highlights. Would definitely recommend this for a fun vacation activity!
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
My friend and I were visiting Austin for a fun weekend. We were waiting to watch the bats fly out from the bridge when the biker gang drove by honking their horns, shouting, and overall having a great time. Immediately, we signed up online. Tyler, our guide was an amazing tour guide, that knew everything about Austin. The bikes are easy to ride, and the feeling over cruising through town on a cool motorbike was amazing. Tyler took awesome pictures which were provided to us afterwards and even took us to some new places around town. We stopped and ate lunch at one of the local food trucks, which provided a nice opportunity to talk to Tyler and enjoy some delicious food!I would highly recommend this activity to everyone. Definitely sign up for your own bike, as it's exciting to be able to drive yourself around town! SO MUCH FUN!! More
If you only have a short time in Austin this is a great taste of what exist. We did the food truck tour and enjoyed. However we had been in Austin for a few days prior so we had already been to the food trucks we had visited and seen most of the locations we drove by, however the tour is great if you want to see them quickly on a short visit.
Probably my favorite thing we did in Austin! I recommend doing this the first day you’re visiting because they take you all around the city and show the highlights... from Rainey Street to the capitol building to Barton Springs. They are incredibly friendly at the HQ, and our guide Cope was amazing!!
We had a great trip on our electric bikes round the Austin area. I was a little concerned about riding around on the streets, but it was fine. Learned about some statues, murals, and buildings!
Tour guide was super enthusiastic (but not too much) and fun to work with. Knowledgeable about the area and easy to work with. A lot of fun!
I gave this a 5 star review because my friends loved it. I liked it too, for as long as I could muster the nerve. The guide was knowledgeable and compassionate. When I decided to give up he locked the bike up and offered to get me a ride. I opted to walk and enjoy the city while my friends sent texts of all the fun places hey’d visited.
This was the best tour in Austin, so I took TWO! Cope and Tyler were amazing. Don't miss the sunset tour and the brunch tour through the city. I had so much fun riding these fat motorcycles. I felt safe and got to see the best sights of downtown, East Austin, South Austin and everything in between. I tasted amazing tacos and learned so much history. I want to move to Austin now because of these guys. Thank you Cope and Tyler for making my visit so fun! I'll be back with my kids very soon :-)Frances
We had an absolute blast touring Austin with our tour guide Gator. The trip was fun and informative. We learned some cool things about Austin. We would highly recommend this experience.
Tour guide was THE BEST , ask for Tyler!! It was the best activity one can do in down town Austin, REALLY FUN
Excellent trip. Justin did outstanding job guiding us around town and giving us history lessons as we went. He took us to a great place to see all the bats fly out from under the bridge. Definitely a fun time. You’ll be glad you did it!
You have to do this when in Austin! Our tour guide Patrick was awesome. So much fun seeing the sights of Austin and much more. A blast!
We had an amazing tour today! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We saw the city, laughed so much and enjoyed the stop at the food trucks midway. Our guide was a true city expert, and very entertaining the whole time! You have to do this if you're in town. The bikes get lots of attention - people you pass will be waving and smiling at you. Check it out!
This was a great way to see a lot of the city. We did it on our first day to give us a feel for the different areas and where we wanted to spend more time later.
We loved this Trip. Whole Family had fun. Kids enjoyed it. Guide trained on bikes and then took us through different parts of Austin. He was fun, Listened to us and showed places that we asked for. Only bad part was weather. At 9 AM , it was bit cloudy and chilly but light jackets helped.
It was a unique way to experience Austin and our guide was wonderful!! We had a great time and felt super cool doing it. ;)
Absolutely amazing experience!!! Our "gang leader" was Patrick and was just awesome! He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about Austin. Patrick explained everything exceedingly well and thoroughly. He is just straight up an awesome dude. This experience is worth MUCH more than what we paid for. Definitely will be revisiting next time we're in Austin!
More than a real sightseeing tour of any heft, this was more a chilled out bike ride. But if you haven't ridden on one of these types of fat wheel electric bikes, it's quite fun. Worth the cost if you're two people on one bike.
IF YOU’RE in Austin take this tour!!!! The guide is awesome and knowledgeable. I would do this tour over and over again!
This tour was so much fun. We got some great pictures at the murals. Very safe and plenty of hands on instruction before hitting the road. We had Patrick as a tour guide and really enjoyed his reggae music. People always smile as you pass by. Just do it! You will be so glad you did!
This is such a cool and unique way to check out Austin and vibe with your inner biker chick (or dude) . Tyler was an amazing guide and kept us entertained the entire time. Definitely the highlight of our weekend. It you have an adventurous spirit and are ready for fun, this is the tour for you. Book it!!!!
This is definitely a “MUST DO” if you are visiting Austin! It’s really fun and you get to learn a lot about the city. Patrick was our guide and he was awesome! Full of life and information, he guided us to the best food trucks and hot spots! He took lots of cool pictures and everyone was super friendly! Loved it!
We did the tour with Joeseph. He was funny, professional, and our group enjoyed very much. It's a great way to see the city.
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.
I had friends from out of the country visiting and this was the perfect way showing them around. It was so much fun and our tour guide was great. Will be back in a couple of weeks with the next visitors.
Bike tour was the highlight of our trip to Austin. Patrick and Tyler were terrific guides and teachers, making everything safe and fun. Got to see so much of the city, including great food at a food truck stop. I cannot think of a more fun way to see the city and have fun for 2+ hours. My 17 & 22 year old sons loved it too.
We thought this would be a great FUN way to see Austin - and it didnt disappoint. John/Gator was a great guide - and his music selection made the tour even more fun !! What a showman too !! Definitely recommend this fun tour
I was with a group of 7 people and we had SO MUCH FUN! Cope was such a great guide and really made the whole tour awesome and fun! I highly recommend doing this if you’re looking for a fun way to see the city.
I had an afternoon to kill in Austin so I searched for “Tours of Austin” and stumbled upon this group. Let me start by saying I’m 71, with zero experience on any similar vehicle other than a bicycle, and was decades older than everyone else in the group. I would have preferred that the short training period was a bit longer, but nonetheless out we went. After a few minutes we all felt comfortable and man, it was fun! As the two hour time frame was nearing it seems like all of us would have happily stayed on for another hour. To be honest, it wasn’t much of a sightseeing tour since the leader isn’t really communicating with us as we ride around, but who cares? This was just pure fun. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience. More
Tyler did an incredible job! He was professional, entertaining and energetic all at the same time while keeping the ride on time. I got be truthful and say I was super excited for the adventure and the event turned out better than my expectations! I hope I can book another adventure with Tyler in the future!
Absolutely fun! - Tour guide (Tyler) was great, energetic, inclusive and funny- Other people on tour were very friendly- Before hitting the road, we practiced riding on the scooter in parking lot which was very helpful- Easy to drive scooter, but driver should be confident and respect the rules of the road - Fun way to see the city and have the wind blow through your hair- Wear sunscreen!!!
Took my 16 year old on this tour. Didn’t expect to have so much fun. John, our guide, did a great job of instructing and guiding. Felt like we were in a eco-friendly biker gang. Lots of looks from the people on the streets. Would do this again in a heartbeat. This is a great family activity. Can’t recommend high enough. Skip the Segways. This is a lot more fun and doesn’t make you feet ache. Easier to drive as well.
What a great time we had on the mini-bikes! Wasn't sure what to expect, but Tyler did it up right for us!He showed us some beautiful sites of Austin, we made a stop for BBQ along the way, took photos, and thoroughly enjoyed our ride. We definitely recommend 'Your Biker Gang' while visiting Austin! It's a blast!
