What fun! This is a must while in Austin. Gramps (Tyler) was a fun and energetic tour guide. Because of this tour we went to the city library, which is beautiful, and so unique. We never would have gone to the library! Just Do It!
Our group of 8 adults (6 drivers and 2 riders) recently had a blast touring downtown Austin with Patrick, a former elementary school teacher turned biker dude. After making sure we all felt comfortable on our bikes before heading out, he said his three goals for the day were safety, education, and fun, and he exceeded our expectations in every area.In addition to the standard Austin downtown landmarks, he also pointed out lesser-known sights including a flock of Mexican parakeets sporting bright green plumage as well as their incredible public library, which we visited at his suggestion after the tour was over. (Best library ever! If you have time, go check out the views from the gorgeous outdoor lounging area at the top of the building as well as the innovative features of the actual library, including a kiosk that will dispense random reading material based on the amount of time you have to read. Wow!)The Voodoo Donuts stop halfway through the tour was a well-timed and delicious break, and the cooler bags full of ice-cold water he provided at the YBG location came in handy. Besides being a knowledgeable tour guide, Patrick is also a great photographer, and he captured the day in numerous pics (group and individual ones) to help us remember this wonderful experience. Since our accommodations for the week were actually in San Antonio, we only spent one day in Austin, and I can’t think of a better introduction to the city than cruising around it with Patrick. Don’t think twice – BOOK THIS TOUR!
We had a great time with Patrick as our guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience so fun. As this was our first trip to Austin, it was such a great way to see the city and learn about its history. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Austin.
We loved this Trip. Whole Family had fun. Kids enjoyed it. Guide trained on bikes and then took us through different parts of Austin. He was fun, Listened to us and showed places that we asked for. Only bad part was weather. At 9 AM , it was bit cloudy and chilly but light jackets helped.
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!!
Our tour guide was super accommodating. We had to change our plans a couple of times due to the unpredictable weather and they were more than happy to change them according to our schedule. Very knowledgeable about the city and super fun! Thank you!
My family of 4 rented 2 e-bikes and did the city tour with Gator. The bikes were fun to ride, safe with with kids. We hit a bunch of hotspots, and Gator kept it fun.
Our ride was so much fun! Dennis was our guide and was very informative and personable. The weather was great and we just had a good time riding around the city looking AND being looked at by others! We did a couple other tourist attractions, but this was by far the most fun. Highly recommend to all ages. My husband is in his 60's and me in my 50's. Haven't done anything like this in years...
took my girlfriend on a date via the biker gang to recant her childhood time in Austin after 12 years and she loved it. she visited Austin once in her childhood and loved it. When she came to visit for the holidays this was the perfect date and Tyler was the perfect host. We had a blast and will be back!
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.
