Cope was a great guide taking us through Austin and being our unofficial photographer! He was extremely patient when some of the riders just weren’t getting the hang of it and made sure to always look out for everyone while on the road. Would recommend to everyone!
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
Our family was super fortunate to have Kyle as our guide.Our adventure was amazing! He was big on safety, very knowledgeable about Austin, took many photos for us, and was incredibly funny and entertaining!! We really enjoyed seeing the bats, the Austin skyline all lit up and just cruising around the city at night. The BEST!
A great and fun way to explore Austin whether you are a local or a visitor. The place is easy to find and our guide, Cope, texted and emailed several times to see if we had any questions and to introduce himself. Once we arrived, he went over how to use the bike and safety instructions which included wearing a helmet at all times. We practiced riding and turning in the parking lot and then hit the road for an amazing fun filled two hours!!! Cope showed us some interesting sights around Austin and stopped for photos as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something fun and memorable. More
I've been on this tour several times and highly recommend it!!!! Whether it's a business team builder or a fun time with family and friends getting outside and seeing the beautiful city of Austin is amazing!!! The bikes are easy and fun for all ages....and the guides are hilarious and FUN!!!
This place is always good! Whether or not you’re looking for atmosphere, good food, or fun....I can always count on Chuys restaurant!!!
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!
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.
Our biker gang was great for our family. Our kids loved it & still talk about it days after. Justin was a great tour guide & made everyone's tour memorable. He was especially good with our two boys. Definitely a "do over" tour. The "Bikes" were fun for the family too.
Our totally uncool, non-biking group of 50 year old guys had a reunion weekend in Austin. This tour was definitely a highlight of the trip. Started promptly and was all that it promised. Our group captain and guide, Tyler, was informative, funny and engaging. Even the least-balanced rider had a blast! A must-do if you're looking for an outdoor activity to see and get the feel of this amazing city.
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.
