This is an absolute MUST if you’re in the Austin area. We were only in town for 36 hours and took a night tour. We were able to cruise the city, see all the sights and learn really interesting facts. It over exceeded our expectations. We packed a lot of facts and fun into our tour. Our tour guide Cope aka “peanut” was phenomenal. Such a cool laid back dude. Make sure you so this tour! Nothing says welcome to the bike gang than sweet helmets and googles.
My family of 4 rented 2 e-bikes and did the city tour with Gator. The bikes were fun to ride, safe with with kids. We hit a bunch of hotspots, and Gator kept it fun.
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 family took the tour during SXSW week. Everyone in the group felt like the tour was awesome and would do it again on the next visit! The tour guide was full of energy, was funny, whipped us around town safely/efficiently, and stopped for pictures/info at cool sites.
6 year old and 11 year old thought this was the highlight of our trip. Better than San Antonio zoo. River walk.... they wanted to do it all day. Tyler the guide was superb!
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!
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.
The tour was so great!! Went to many different spots and saw some amazing sites!! The tour guide was amazing! He was funny and had everyone having a good time! He even upgraded us from one bike to two since we felt squished on one bike! (We had cameras and bags we had to carry) it was a great time! Will definitely do that again!!
My wife booked this trip for our visit to Austin. Family of 5. We rented 4 bikes. Wife,Me,18YO,16YO, and I put my 12YO, on the back with me. I ride dirt bikes and Harley’s and thought this would be corney, Wrong! We did a few test runs in the back to get used to the fat tire, and off we went. Hit up some bridges, parks, signs, and several points of interest. It was super cool and our guide was amazing. We would stop at the red lights and he would get off and explain where we are, how it became, and what it’s in for, perfect timing every light. Never asked for a tip and just wanted to know if we had fun. I gave him a tip for all of us and Thanked him, I wish I remembered his name. My family and I talked about all the cool stuff we seen the whole week, and I was super happy to be riding 2 wheels with my whole family. Couldn’t believe that there was no traffic in downtown. Definitely recommend this experience, and book early.
It was a unique way to experience Austin and our guide was wonderful!! We had a great time and felt super cool doing it. ;)
My husband and myself , and my 16 year old son and his friend had a wonderful afternoon with Your Biker Gang. Great way to see the city!
