Had an amazing time on our ride in Austin. Would totally do it again and recommend it to anyone looking to take a tour of Austin. This is the way to go. So much fun!
Great way to see some of the highlights of Austin! Three bikes, three adults and one teen; a FUN and laid-back tour leader (Hi Tyler!); and a cool morning full of sunshine=an amazingly fun ride!! We all loved this tour and had SO much fun!
My wife and UT student daughter took the fat tire mini bike tour with Gator. F see un trip around Austin. Bikes are easy to ride but can ride double if one is uneasy with the bike. You are riding on streets with cars but Gator was very safe and we never felt nervous in traffic. Great way to see Austin. They have some different routes so not sure you always see the same things. Highly recommend the adventure and Gator was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Good times.
My friend and I had been stewing on the idea of wanting to do the biker tour for one long year and it was even better than we could have imagined. Tyler was entertaining and fun and we had a great group of people to ride around with. We even got to meet another employee Patrick at the end of the day and treated us like we were old friends, he was the cherry on top. Definitely coming back again!
Very fun trip with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Patrick was great !!! We toured the city & Patrick gave us very detailed information about different sites and landmarks throughout the city. Had a blast !!
Do NOT miss this fantastic experience. Patrick was our guide and he was great! The tour we took led us to many of the downtown attractions. We even stopped off for a great cup of coffee!
This was hands down one of the most fun tours I've been on. John was a great tour guide and provided a fun tour around Austin stopping at places that I wouldn't have thought of, but glad he did. The bikes were super fun and I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody looking for a different type of tour of Austin. Thanks for a great day!
This was one of the best downtown weekend activities we have ever done as a family! We booked our tour on a Sunday and took both kids with us. This was a dual father son birthday present and we all had a blast. Our guide was great and the enjoyment and experience we had was equally matched by what we spent for the tour. The motor bike was easy to maneuver and thankfully there is a good amount of practice before getting on the road. The stops along the tour were awesome and our guide provided a thorough and interesting commentary of Austin and Texas facts along the way. This is absolutely worth every penny and an experience you won't forget! I would recommend definitely checking weather conditions and dressing comfortably.
Had a great time. Felt like it was worth the money. Very safe and easy to ride. Would recommend as a quick excursion to get a little history on the city
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!
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
