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!!
I do a lot of traveling. And I taken a lot of Tours. This by far was the most interesting and the most fun. First of all its extremely hot in Austin so taking a tour during the day is out. Doing this tour at dusk was phenomenal you get to see all the lights you get to see the bats and get to ride with some excellent music and a phenomenal tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable I even asked off the wall questions and he knew the answers. If you can only do one tour in Austin this is the one you should do.
If you’re considering a tour of downtown, this is the way to go! Great guides that have fun and make sure that you do too. We stopped along the 2 hour ride and Patrick took pictures of us in front of the murals. Very informative tour about the history of Austin, but definitely not overboard. I did not feel like there would be a test at the end. I’ve gone on a tour before in a hybrid bike, you can pedal or let the electric motor take over... but this is the way to go. 6 out of 5 stars.
It was a awesome experience riding the bikes all around town. Literally easy to ride. Our guide Cope was a lot of fun and quite informative on historical sites and events around town. Would do it again fo sho
This tour was great! Its so much fun to drive around austin, but doing it in a motorized, electric biker gang motorcycle makes it all the better! Highly recommend! It was a lot of fun!
We had a very fun morning ride with with our son and daughter-in-law and several other nice "gang members" we just met on the ride. Tyler was our Gang Leader and he was a hoot. He takes his job seriously when it comes to safety of the riders, but he makes sure to inject lots of humor and local color into his tours. It was great fun and we'd recommend it highly. We saw some sights in and views of downtown we probably would not have seen otherwise. He was good about taking requests for specific things people wanted to see (murals, Stevie Ray Vaughan statue, etc.). Thanks for a great time, Tyler! More
Guide was awesome, he was always excited and he loved his job, he made sure you had a good time, if weren't having fun he would make the fun..
Our tour guide Jon was incredible! This was the highlight of our four days in Austin. We got to see and learn so much of the city- not to mention that our guide gave us some golden recommendations for the rest of our time in Austin. The bikes were soooo fun and easy to learn. Jon showed us the best kept secrets for pictures and hidden gem art installations. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the city or even just a local wanting to see it in a new way. Such a great experience!
I planned a biker gang ride for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and Austin for 11 girls and it was hands down the highlight of the weekend for all. We had an INCREDIBLE guide, Tyler. He reached out a few hours prior to the ride to see if we had any questions. During the ride he took us to some of the coolest sites in Austin (plenty of photo opportunities). He also provided a ton of Austin knowledge and plenty of laughs. BIKER GANG is a must do in Austin and hopefully you will be as lucky as us to be led by Tyler!
Since we arrived Tyler, our captain for the visit, was very attentive, trying to make our experience the best. Fun ride through Austin downtown, with a stop for lunch at Torchy’s (ask Tyler to take you there). Riding the bikes is safe and easy, even for people without experience. The sights are wonderful, this tour is highly recommended.
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
