My buddies and I had a blast and our tour guide (Patrick) couldn't have been cooler. 2 hours of non-stop fun and beauty. Highly recommended!
Patrick led our food truck tour and showed us the best known locals way of doing Austin. The bikes were great fun. We'll worth it.
This was a great way to see the sites of Austin. Highly recommend it...our guide Cope was great and we had a blast.
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 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!
Was in Austin for a few days to visit. Went on the Food Truck & City Tour the 1st day here. Great way to see the city & meet new friends. The experience was amazing, Patrick was funny, informative, & a great guide. Would definitely recommend & will do again next time I’m in Austin. Thanks Your Biker Gang, what an impression you made.
What a fun way to see the city! Cope, our guide, was excellent! Highly recommend this tour. The most fun city tour I’ve ever experienced
This was the #1 thing we did in Austin! I’d highly recommend it. And the guide “Peanut” is awesome!!
I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Austin or a local who wants to learn more about the city they live in.
Had amazing New Year's Day tour with Cope! I think this is a must do tour! No stress, fun, easy way to take it all in. Cope took all our pictures and gave us insights into historical areas as well as interesting local tidbits. Thank you, Cope!
Rooster was an incredible guide. Took tons of great photos of myself and wife. He made it fun and informative A blast. Joel and Jess Lerner aka Otter and Bull dog. South Florida
