If you only have a short time in Austin this is a great taste of what exist. We did the food truck tour and enjoyed. However we had been in Austin for a few days prior so we had already been to the food trucks we had visited and seen most of the locations we drove by, however the tour is great if you want to see them quickly on a short visit.
Really enjoyed this trip! I was nervous about riding the bikes but the quick lesson at the beginning made it simple. Saw interesting secret parts of Austin but the best was definitely the mini bike part.
Bike tour was the highlight of our trip to Austin. Patrick and Tyler were terrific guides and teachers, making everything safe and fun. Got to see so much of the city, including great food at a food truck stop. I cannot think of a more fun way to see the city and have fun for 2+ hours. My 17 & 22 year old sons loved it too.
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.
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.
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
Amazing experience. The tour guide was very friendly, made it a fun and safe experience. Learnt a lot about the downtown.
John is was amazing!!! My boyfriend and I had a great time on our ride. We will recommend this tour.
After finding these guys on the net before leaving the UK we booked three of us in for a 9am tour ( approx 2.5 hours ).We turned up at HQ and were greater by Tyler ,he was extremely friendly, enthusiastic and warmly welcoming , after showing us round the bikes and explaining the controls we were taken to an of road area where Tyler made sure we had control before we went on the road.The tour was fantastic fun, extremely good and a brilliant way of having a guided tour of the city ( with an extremely knowledgeable guide )this is a must do tour that will make your smile a mile wide ,do it or miss out.
We had so much fun on this tour. Pat was a fantastic guide and got us around to what we wanted to see safely and efficiently. A great way to see attractions and murals around the city. They are flexible and can adjust the route to cover what your or your group are looking to explore.The bikes were easy to pick up, and drivers in Austin were largely friendly to our group even as we shared the road with them.
We had a great trip on our electric bikes round the Austin area. I was a little concerned about riding around on the streets, but it was fine. Learned about some statues, murals, and buildings!
