Absolutely fun! - Tour guide (Tyler) was great, energetic, inclusive and funny- Other people on tour were very friendly- Before hitting the road, we practiced riding on the scooter in parking lot which was very helpful- Easy to drive scooter, but driver should be confident and respect the rules of the road - Fun way to see the city and have the wind blow through your hair- Wear sunscreen!!!
This turned out to be such a cool and unique experience that was fun for my whole family. We saw many different places and sites around Austin that we might not have seen just looking around on our own. The bikes were comfortable and very easy to operate. I was a little hesitant at first with how busy it is in the area and having my 8 year-old on one of the bikes...but Cope, our amazing Road Captain kept us all together and made sure everything was super safe and controlled throughout the tour! She and all my older boys absolutely loved it!
Really enjoyed this trip! I was nervous about riding the bikes but the quick lesson at the beginning made it simple. Saw interesting secret parts of Austin but the best was definitely the mini bike part.
I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and completely helpful. The ride was fun and exciting and had great music. It was very enjoyable for the whole family we had ages ranging all the way from age 6 all the way up to 57. Will be definitely doing it again. You guys rock
Had an amazing experience, Gator is the best guide. He is so full of energy, Very passionate. He makes sure you are having a blast. 10/10. I will be recommending this to my friends and family.
Lots of fun for me and my 7 yo and 17 yo. My son rode with me and my daughter had her own bike. Great tour of Austin
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
I did the tour on a sunny Saturday and it was perfect. The electric mini bikes are really easy to drive and are really fun. The tour itself contained some must see spots of Austin + some nice murals.The guide was a fun guy and he shared good information about Austin and its places.I would definitely do it again.
We planned two full days in Austin and had never been before. When I found this tour I was excited that it was on an electric bike since I knew we’d be able to cover more ground. The day of the tour was chilly in the 30s so we dressed warm. I’m glad we did it! John/Gator was an awesome guide full of stories and history of the city that we never would have learned on our own. He also had lots of great tips about places to check out while we’re in town. They take lots of photos which is nice, too. I’d do another tour with them for sure.
Patrick our tour guide was amazing, so much fun! If you are in the Austin area this is a must dd! Thanks for a fun afternoon.
Just a fantastic way to learn about the city of Austin.Gator was an excellent guide and thoughtfully adapted my tour to match things I'd mentioned earlier.It could have been a slightly sad day on my own ( I'm on a business trip - don't know anyone here). Instead I found myself laughing with Gator as we rode the streets to Starship "We built this city" and other well chosen music.The bikes are easy to learn. I'm mid 50's and never ridden a motor bike, so it can't be hard.I'll be back when I'm next in town.
