What a blast.Great way to see Austin.Great history lesson.Did not want it to end.Cope was full of great insights.
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
Tyler was great. We enjoyed the bikes and the tour of Austin. It was the highlight of our vacation!!!
Tyler really brought the energy and excitement and turned a cold and lightly rainy day into a blast!He brought us around the sights and we had a great stop at a cafe to get some nice hot coffee and something to eat.One of the coolest stops was definitely the graffiti palace~
We had a blast. Most definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Peanut was a joy. He is very knowledgeable about the city.
It’s a great thing to do when visiting Austin. They take you to places you wouldn’t have thought of and tel you cool facts about all the places. Also you can go a scenic route and get good insta pics if you want! I recommend going with Tyler because he’s funny and nice! My friends and I went twice.
We had 7 people raning in age from 16 to 62 years and all of us agree it was the best thing we did. Rooster was our guide and after a short lesson we were off to explore Austin. We learnt about the city - saw the sights and got to ride the very cool bikes. Rooster kneew the best spots to stop and take pictures. It was great to be part of a biker gang!!!!!
Our tour guide, Joseph, is the best!!! He made the tour lively and interactive. He was very knowledgable of the history of Austin and took us to some great spots to see the city. We also had a great group of people in the group with us that also made the tour exciting. Thank you Joseph and I look forward to my next tour when I visit again!!! Best Tour/Ride Ever!!!!!!!
Awesome experience.Super cool way to explore Austin TX.Jon is simply the best, professional, easy going, and looking out for your safety. Please enjoy the gang, you will not regret it.
This was our first time on electric bikes and we had a great time. We would like to get back and do it again with friends.
Listen, I’m not a “tour guy”. The last tour I can recall doing was Alcatraz when I was 12. But, let me tell you - This was a BLAST! The tour guides are very knowledgeable, the bikes are a blast to ride (and VERY easy to learn), and our 7 year old twins loved getting to ride with us. Whether you’re local or a tourist, go do this. You’ll have a great time.
