My wife and I joined our biker gang for a tour around Austin while visiting this past weekend. We had a blast! Cope and Joseph were fantastic hosts and guides! I highly recommend this experience-you will see some areas of Austin you might not otherwise experience, all while riding electric powered mini bikes through the streets of Austin!
Patrick was fantastic! We got to see Austin in a very fun and informative way. We would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see/experience 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
Definitely do this!!! What a blast we had and Tyler was a hilarious, engaging and informative guide. We loved every minute of our ride!
Absolutely fun! - Tour guide (Tyler) was great, energetic, inclusive and funny- Other people on tour were very friendly- Before hitting the road, we practiced riding on the scooter in parking lot which was very helpful- Easy to drive scooter, but driver should be confident and respect the rules of the road - Fun way to see the city and have the wind blow through your hair- Wear sunscreen!!!
Probably my favorite thing we did in Austin! I recommend doing this the first day you’re visiting because they take you all around the city and show the highlights... from Rainey Street to the capitol building to Barton Springs. They are incredibly friendly at the HQ, and our guide Cope was amazing!!
We had so much fun doing this electric bike tour with Justin! He was so much fun and you could tell he was very passionate about making sure everyone had a good time and was comfortable and safe on their bikes. We were a little nervous at first, but Justin was very encouraging, helpful and patient with beginners! After some practice, we were on the road, and boy did we have a blast! Justin showed us some unique spots around the city that we would have never seen on our own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone- whether you are an experienced or beginning rider. You won’t regret it! Thanks to Justin and the rest of the team for making us feel comfortable and welcome and for showing us a great time. It was definitely a highlight of our trip! More
Holy cow! What an amazing way to explore a city! This is very unique and different from other tours I have taken, where you usually get talked at for an hour and you just snap photos that you'll never look at again. Using electric scooters allows you to truly immerse yourself and be involved with the experience. Our tour guide Tyler was very accommodating to what we wanted to learn about Austin and a great teacher for learning how to drive the bikes.I would recommended booking at the beginning of a trip, because Tyler showed us stuff we would've never known to visit without his recommendations.
Had an amazing time on our ride in Austin. Would totally do it again and recommend it to anyone looking to take a tour of Austin. This is the way to go. So much fun!
This is an amazing experience!! It is not just a fun experience but it is very educational! I am 73 and my wife is 63! WE didn't have any problems with the bikes! Our guide Gator ( John ) was an 11 on a ten scale! He could write a book on customer service! WE were laughing most of the time! You even get to give yourself biker names! Of course my wife came up with Mutt and Jeff and I was MUTT!!! We are going again when we go to Austin in the Spring!! Thanks GATOR!!!
10/10 would do this again! Our guide was super friendly and showed us great views of Austin. The bikes are easy to drive and a really fun way to see beautiful parts of the city. It was very hot when we went, but we were provided ice cold waters and even made two pit stops to water parks to cool off. Very neat way to spend a couple hours on a sunny afternoon.
