It was a unique way to experience Austin and our guide was wonderful!! We had a great time and felt super cool doing it. ;)
We had an absolute blast touring Austin with our tour guide Gator. The trip was fun and informative. We learned some cool things about Austin. We would highly recommend this experience.
This experience is a blast! Where else can you lean back on your own fat boy and cruise the City without a license to ride? Granted, they top out at 20mph and your guide takes pretty good care to make sure you don't end up in crazy bad traffic.We went out on the morning trek with Justin. He did a great job teaching us the basics before we hit the road. It is important to remember this is a 'tour', not just a ride. Consequently, you make several stops during the tour to dismount, chat and take pictures. In addition, you only move as fast as the slowest rider. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to the theory of Survival of the Fittest.Justin did a fine job explaining little factoids about the city as we tolled around. Our group was most interested in scenery and music, so those are the sites that he spent most of his time on. The only regret I have is I would have liked the option of cruising around a bit on my own at the end and just letting the bike fly down the streets. I think 20 miles per hour may be understating the performance of these beasts, but we never really had a chance to find out. More
My friends and I had a blast on this tour. Tyler was hilarious and very knowledgeable about the city. He also gave us some great recommendations. I will definitely tell anyone going to Austin they need to experience this tour.
Your Biker Gang was an awesome experience for my group! The Road Captains were absolutely incredible, and they tailored the tour to our interests. They provided water for the trip and made sure that everyone was drinking plenty to stay hydrated on the ride. They continually took pictures during the ride and had them posted for us within 10 minutes of completing our ride. Riding around town is fun all on its own, but the Road Captains made it so much more entertaining and engaging. Our group was pretty skilled in terms of riding, so we got to hit all of the major spots plus a number of smaller, lesser known ones because we moved pretty quickly. I highly recommend Your Biker Gang for travelers and even those that live in the city. You get a great broad tour, but you also get to see things that even most locals probably don't know about. I can't recommend this enough!
If you want to see Austin’s unique sites—and have a blast while doing so—book with Your Biker Gang. Tyler was a great guide, and he showed us the highlights, and weird sites, of Austin. He entertained us and kept us safe while we learned to ride the bikes. It was a great experience and a highlight of our trip.
We had a ton of fun. Perfect for taking out of town guests on a tour of Austin. I live in Austin, but I learned lots of new facts and saw new places I didn’t know where there. This is a great way to see Austin.
Great way to see Austin!! We had too much fun and our tour guide, Tyler, was great!! We also really enjoyed lunch at the food truck!
Fun at its best! Enough instruction to make you feel comfortable and confident even if you never rode a mini bike before. Saw sights we may not have found on our own. Laughed from start to finish!
The coolest, most badass way to tour Austin! The tour guides are energetic and knowledgeable about the area- had our group of girls turned to biker chicks before the training was completed. This will definitely be an activity on the agenda next visit to Austin!
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
