This was our last activity during our weekend trip to Austin and it was so much fun I wanted to keep riding all day! Joe was very patient in teaching us the ways of the electric scooter and his great attitude was very contagious. I can't wait to do this again the next time I'm in 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
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.
This was a blast! It was so fun and such a great way to show some of our friends Downtown Austin! The bikes were fun to drive and easy to learn. Our guide Tyler was amazing! He was the greatest tour guide and very knowledgeable of the city and stops. We would absolutely do this again!
I was in Austin for a limited amount of time. This tour let me see a lot of cool spots that i would have never known about. They let you chose what you'd rather see - between art, nightlife spots, museums, etc. Riding through the city on these fat tire bikes were a lot of fun, we also had some great music playing and it was a beautiful day outside. I would recommend and would go again.
We love the tour on the electric bikes. Myself being a first time rider, it was very easy to learn and felt comfortable the entire time. We enjoyed seeing the area and heard about the history and making stops along the way. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!!
6 Friends from Phila Pa visiting Austin Texas and what an experience we had...Gator our tour guide made the tour outstanding with lots of laughs ...He was energetic and had the best dance moves ever...Very educational and learned some history about Austin ...I would definitely recommend this activity and you will not be disappointed....
The ride was awesome and we saw some really cool things about a new city. I would totally suggest anyone heading to Austin check into this!
We thought this would be a great FUN way to see Austin - and it didnt disappoint. John/Gator was a great guide - and his music selection made the tour even more fun !! What a showman too !! Definitely recommend this fun tour
This a MUST tour in Austin! They have different tours of Downtown and we choose the Food Truck tour. There are so many food trucks for all types cuisines. You learn a little of the history of Austin, eat great food and ride a bike. The staff is super cool and they take great pictures for free! They welcomed us with plenty of water bottles, bandanas for some coolness and some gloves. As for Cope, he is fun and knows all the spots to have fun. I will definitely ride again.
A great time and a perfect way to make a tour in the City. Easy, funny and Tyler was our guide and he is really nice!
