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!!
This is really a must do activity for anyone in Austin wanting to discover the city in a fun and interesting way. Our guide took us arround different parts of Austin making various stops to tell us about the city’s history, he made it extremely fun to learn. And of course riding the actual bikes was really cool ! Anyway all in all an amazing attraction which i would recommend fully !
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
This was the highlight of my trip. Our Tour guide was filled with energy and legit made the experience amazing. He was social and knowledgeable about the city of Austin. Worth every single penny
Rooster was an amazing guide. He brought fun tunes, showed us hidden gems throughout our city and took amazing pics for us to always remember our experience while also making safety his priority!! This tour made my birthday day extraordinary in light of social distancing!!!
Biker Gang tour with Cope was amazing. Cope was an excellent tour guide and made the ride around downtown Austin fun. I enjoyed most when we were honking at the people at the bar as they cheered us on. Also, we had a group of motorcycles pass us and they gave us a show which was really cool. We have plenty of pictures that Cope took of us which was a pleasure as well. Lastly, thanks to Cope I felt safe on the bikes and was able to ride smoothly. Definitely check it out if you’re in Austin.
As locals, we enjoyed the ride through the city at a different view!! Patrick has a great sense of humor and was the perfect tour guide - highly recommend for a date around town
An awesome way to tour. Be ready for fun! Gang leader “Gator” was a total showman (and his music selection was perfect)! People on the street seemed to like it almost as much as us (they whipped out there phones to get us on video). Plus, we learned a lot at our stops/locations. A smooth ride and a must do!
We had a great time with Patrick this past weekend! There were 7 of us on a girls trip and the tour was a blast! I would recommend it to everyone! A unique way to see the sights of Austin! Don't miss 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!
Okay, a blast! Of course I love motoring around the city on a mini bike, crossing bridges, drinking espresso coffee by the river, but at first ai was wondering....is this safe? I was bringing my daughter who I let ride alone, and after a few minutes of deep breaths realized how safe Tyler our guide was so after that I realized and had a blast? Of course you should do it, what are you waiting for?!
