Had an awesome tour with these people. Saw the Christmas lights at Mozart's and then cruised around downtown Austin. Tour guide, Tyler, was fun and cared about the group's safety on those few moments where the ride was in a lane of traffic. Great ride!
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
Listen, I’m not a “tour guy”. The last tour I can recall doing was Alcatraz when I was 12. But, let me tell you - This was a BLAST! The tour guides are very knowledgeable, the bikes are a blast to ride (and VERY easy to learn), and our 7 year old twins loved getting to ride with us. Whether you’re local or a tourist, go do this. You’ll have a great time.
This is such a cool and unique way to check out Austin and vibe with your inner biker chick (or dude) . Tyler was an amazing guide and kept us entertained the entire time. Definitely the highlight of our weekend. It you have an adventurous spirit and are ready for fun, this is the tour for you. Book it!!!!
By far the one if the best experiences I’ve been had while in Austin. I booked the food tour for my girlfriend and I, not only did we eat some authentic Venezuelan food, but also got to explore the city and that picture at the famous places on Austin. Our tour guide was Patrick, he went far and beyond for us, very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history which is a plus if it’s yout first time visiting Austin.10/10 will do it again
This was one of the best downtown weekend activities we have ever done as a family! We booked our tour on a Sunday and took both kids with us. This was a dual father son birthday present and we all had a blast. Our guide was great and the enjoyment and experience we had was equally matched by what we spent for the tour. The motor bike was easy to maneuver and thankfully there is a good amount of practice before getting on the road. The stops along the tour were awesome and our guide provided a thorough and interesting commentary of Austin and Texas facts along the way. This is absolutely worth every penny and an experience you won't forget! I would recommend definitely checking weather conditions and dressing comfortably.
This is a great fun way to see the city of Austin! Tyler was a really good informative, interactive & fun tour guide! I would highly recommend this tour if you to spend a couple of fun hours in Austin!
Highly recommend the tour if you are visiting for the first time. It will give you plenty of ideas of where to visit later. Justin our tour guide is lovely. Bikes are lots of fun
This is the best way to see the city and feel cool all at the same time!! Much better than Segway tour as you dont feel like such a geek and learn about the city!
If you are planning a trip to Austin, do not miss this fun filled "biker tour" of Austin. Your hosts will make sure you are comfortable riding the mini-bikes. Tyler and Justin were both awesome instructors and tour guides.
Had a fantastic time zooming around Austin on a guided tour. The guides were great fun and very knowledgable and the bikes are so much fun to ride. 100% recommend this activity. Brilliant!
