This was a great way to see a lot of the city. We did it on our first day to give us a feel for the different areas and where we wanted to spend more time later.
Our guide, Justin, was super friendly and made the tour lots of fun. The bikes are a great way to see things you wouldn’t normally get a chance to experience.
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 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!
We had a blast and the guides were fun and funny. Loved it! Fun way to see Austin and I would totally recommend it.
This is an amazing experience!! It is not just a fun experience but it is very educational! I am 73 and my wife is 63! WE didn't have any problems with the bikes! Our guide Gator ( John ) was an 11 on a ten scale! He could write a book on customer service! WE were laughing most of the time! You even get to give yourself biker names! Of course my wife came up with Mutt and Jeff and I was MUTT!!! We are going again when we go to Austin in the Spring!! Thanks GATOR!!!
My family took the tour during SXSW week. Everyone in the group felt like the tour was awesome and would do it again on the next visit! The tour guide was full of energy, was funny, whipped us around town safely/efficiently, and stopped for pictures/info at cool sites.
We did the tour with Joeseph. He was funny, professional, and our group enjoyed very much. It's a great way to see the city.
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!
Tyler did an incredible job! He was professional, entertaining and energetic all at the same time while keeping the ride on time. I got be truthful and say I was super excited for the adventure and the event turned out better than my expectations! I hope I can book another adventure with Tyler in the future!
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!
