We had a great time with Patrick on our "biker gang" tour of Austin. He was fun and very accommodating for pictures. We had hoped we would have seen more of the sights of Austin. Much of the tour was through a more run-down part of the city.
Tyler was an awesome guide. He made us all feel safe and sound through his safety and test driving before we set out on the open road. This was a great way to see the city in a fun and informational way. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Austin city area looking for a unique and fun way to see the city! Great way to make teens happy on a "tourist" trip :)
We did the electric mini-bike tour with Tyler and it was really the highlight of everyone's trip. 6 adults (ages 54-23) and one 12 year old rider. A few of us picked it up right away but it was good to do the "training" so everyone felt comfortable. Then we were off and running. Got to see fun sights - get on and off and take pictures - and even made a stop for coffee. Tyler gave great information on the sights - and offered up a lot of humor. He let us design our own tour and asked what we wanted to see. Everyone in our group agreed - best city tour we have ever done and we would do it again. More
Signed up for this as a way to see Austin and do a good tour. After some patient training we took off. Tyler, our guide, was excellent, and safety was always a priority! We signed up for the food truck tour and were a bit surprised that we didn’t visit more and the one visit was optional. I think there could be more clarity in what the tour is and is not. Overall, we would highly recommend this as an option to see the city!!
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
We saw the yourbikergang.wpengine.com group while driving in Austin. Decided it was something we would enjoy-and we did! Our guide-Joseph was knowledgeable and funny and the tour was great. We saw places in Austin that we would not have seen on our own. Was thankful the tour went on less traveled roads but overall wasn't bad riding in the city. The bikes are easy to handle and they make sure you can prior to starting the tour with practice in an adjacent parking lot. Would recommend! Can't wait to find another city to tour with yourbikergang.wpengine.com!
A must do when you visit Texas!!! The tour was very relax and fun. We did it for both Austin and San Antonio. The electric bike is easy to operate. Our tour captains are nice and informative. Highly recommended!!
We took some of our top customers and we all had a blast! Great way to see Austin in a few hours. Peanut and Rooster were very knowledgeable about the city of Austin and took great care of us!
6 year old and 11 year old thought this was the highlight of our trip. Better than San Antonio zoo. River walk.... they wanted to do it all day. Tyler the guide was superb!
Saw these guys cruising one day around town and knew we had to give it a try. Been to Austin many times but have never done the "tourist" thing. What a fun way to explore, be silly yet super cool! I have never ridden any type of motor or electric bike so I had a bit of a learning curve, but I definitely got the hang of it fairly quickly. We had a nice lap around the city and saw some great views. The content was a bit light and could have added a couple more sites (Congress, UT campus, etc.), but that's my only constructive feedback. Our guide Joe was awesome, super patient and careful looking out for us riders. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a new way to see the city! More
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.
