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

Visiting Austin for our wedding anniversary and the hotel conceirge suggested this as something fun to do. After a few minutes of training and laughing all the way we set out on the town. The guides make this experience, no question, filling the time with interesting facts and tidbits about Austin history. The best part is they do it with humor and make the 2 hours really enjoyable and light. Tyler and the gang have it going on so don’t hesitate to get your swerve on. People all over town were cheering us on and smiling with us! Suggestions are strong use of the horn, smiling, and a little sense of humor. Have fun!! We certainly did!

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.

We had so much fun doing this electric bike tour with Justin! He was so much fun and you could tell he was very passionate about making sure everyone had a good time and was comfortable and safe on their bikes. We were a little nervous at first, but Justin was very encouraging, helpful and patient with beginners! After some practice, we were on the road, and boy did we have a blast! Justin showed us some unique spots around the city that we would have never seen on our own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone- whether you are an experienced or beginning rider. You won’t regret it! Thanks to Justin and the rest of the team for making us feel comfortable and welcome and for showing us a great time. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! More

Holy cow! What an amazing way to explore a city! This is very unique and different from other tours I have taken, where you usually get talked at for an hour and you just snap photos that you'll never look at again. Using electric scooters allows you to truly immerse yourself and be involved with the experience. Our tour guide Tyler was very accommodating to what we wanted to learn about Austin and a great teacher for learning how to drive the bikes.I would recommended booking at the beginning of a trip, because Tyler showed us stuff we would've never known to visit without his recommendations.

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!

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.

Had an amazing experience, Gator is the best guide. He is so full of energy, Very passionate. He makes sure you are having a blast. 10/10. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.

This was our last activity during our weekend trip to Austin and it was so much fun I wanted to keep riding all day! Joe was very patient in teaching us the ways of the electric scooter and his great attitude was very contagious. I can't wait to do this again the next time I'm in Austin!

Had a great time with our biker gang. Our guide Patrick was fun and knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. Even though it was cold weather we had a good time. They provided gloves and bandanas to stay warm. Would suggest it to anyone that wants to see Austin in a totally unique way!
