Had an amazing experience, Gator is the best guide. He is so full of energy, Very passionate. He makes sure you are having a blast. 10/10. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.
This was a great way to see a lot of the city. We did it on our first day to give us a feel for the different areas and where we wanted to spend more time later.
Had an amazing time! Rooster was a very knowledgeable tour guide and catered the ride to what we wanted to see. I would definitely do it again and hope that this becomes available in other cities.
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
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.
We had an amazing tour today! Tyler was a fantastic guide. We saw the city, laughed so much and enjoyed the stop at the food trucks midway. Our guide was a true city expert, and very entertaining the whole time! You have to do this if you're in town. The bikes get lots of attention - people you pass will be waving and smiling at you. Check it out!
It was a blast riding the bikes around town and seeing different sections of the city. Our guide, Pat, was super cool and fun. We were jammin’ along to reggae music. Only friendly note would be... we would have liked to have learned more stats and facts about Austin and fun things to do around town. Thank you for the ride!
Okay, a blast! Of course I love motoring around the city on a mini bike, crossing bridges, drinking espresso coffee by the river, but at first ai was wondering....is this safe? I was bringing my daughter who I let ride alone, and after a few minutes of deep breaths realized how safe Tyler our guide was so after that I realized and had a blast? Of course you should do it, what are you waiting for?!
We saw the great reviews and decided to give it a try and had a blast. Great tour guide (Patrick) gave us a brief but effective training session and we were off! Super fun and easy to ride and saw some really cool sites of Austin.
This was by far the highlight of our trip! SO MUCH FUN!!! The 2 guys, Peanut and Gator, were excellent. Fun and funny and knowledgeable. First off, they took us through how to ride the bike. Very safety conscious. And were very attentive throughout the tour checking in with us to make sure we were ok. Once I got over my initial nervousness of riding the bike (I've never ridden one before) I relaxed and it was easy to ride. Seriously, not hard at all. And I'm a small woman, only 5' tall and had no trouble whatsoever. And then we were off on the streets of downtown Austin. We stopped throughout the 2 hour tour for Peanut to shows us stuff as we went. There were 8 people in our "gang". And honestly the funnest and best thing we did in Austin. I can't recommend it enough!!!
We are from Jersey and were in for business, but stayed a few extra days with my girlfriend and cannot say enough nice things about this tour! Tyler killed it! From the minute we walked in to the minute we left it was amazing! Informative, fun and safe ...just go do it!
