We did the electric mini-bike tour with Tyler and it was really the highlight of everyone's trip. 6 adults (ages 54-23) and one 12 year old rider. A few of us picked it up right away but it was good to do the "training" so everyone felt comfortable. Then we were off and running. Got to see fun sights - get on and off and take pictures - and even made a stop for coffee. Tyler gave great information on the sights - and offered up a lot of humor. He let us design our own tour and asked what we wanted to see. Everyone in our group agreed - best city tour we have ever done and we would do it again. More
Daniel (aka Rooster) made learning how to ride and tooling around Austin great fun. He was knowledgable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour!
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
I had a blast on this tour! We had Tyler as our guide and he was so much fun that two people in our group actually scheduled the tour again later that week! I would highly recommend taking this tour and the bikes weren’t hard to drive once you got the hang of it.
As locals, we enjoyed the ride through the city at a different view!! Patrick has a great sense of humor and was the perfect tour guide - highly recommend for a date around town
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!
I have now taken out of town guest on the Biker Gang tour three times and every time I learn something new about Austin. Guest always enjoy being part of the Biker Gang.
Recommend 100%SUPER friendly staff! Arrived a few minutes late due to traffic and staff was very accommodating! Neat location! Had prior scooter training before we road into the city. We did the noon ride and got lucky with cloudy, cool, perfect weather if I may add. We had a group of 8 and it was great.Dennis was our guide and did an awesome job at it** Cold water bottle was provided and a basket is on the scooter for your small personal belongings. Your welcome to take a small carry-on speaker if you'd like music. T-shirts and Hats are for sale for $20 and have the cool logo on it. Bathroom located inside if you must go before riding. Enjoy! You wont be dissapointed.
We had such a blast touring the city with Tyler as our guide! He did a great job of get us comfortable with the bikes before heading out on the road and we were bummed when it was all over. I will recommend Your Biker Gang to anyone visiting Austin! Awesome experience!
We booked this in the early part of our Austin trip to get a little layout and introduction to the area. It was SXSW and the town was getting crazy. Our guide gave us some quick lessons, and we were off seeing local sites like Lady Bird Lake and the Willie Nelson Statue. During this trip we rode B cycles, jump scooters, and pedi cabs but this was the most fun. People we encountered would ask where they could rent these. These were for 2 hour tours but it would be fantastic to rent these by the day! FUN!
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!
