An excellent morning out with Rob on the Austin E Bike tour. Very informative and we saw so much of the city and other areas. Highly recommended!
Great afternoon bike ride with Toby. We covered a lot of Austin in the three hours and were introduced to sights and trivia that only a local can provide. Thank you Toby for a great afternoon.
Toby was a great tour guide and this was the highlight of our visit to Austin!
A great tour with a great guide Zac. Really informative and chose a great, safe route for us.
First time in Austin decided to do a tour of the city via bike tour. Our tour guide Peter was amazing. He has so much information about the whole city. Highly recommend him!
Although the weather is hot, Peter is good, he take care of safety and lot of jokes throughout. He has a good trick on photo as well
Great ride around Austin with Toby. Very engaging and informative. Lovely way to see the sights and hidden bits a bus can’t get to. 👏🏻👏🏻
I was very impressed with this tour. I thought we were going to ride around Barton Springs but we ended up riding 9.98 miles all the way to the Capitol building and around downtown after riding around Barton Springs. The electric bike made it so easy and I never felt fatigued. The tour operator brought plenty of water, and that was very welcome, but we also stopped at a couple of places to get food/water/refreshments along the route. This tour was definitely worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys riding around on a bike. (They also have one of the softest dogs at the shop. She's a good girl.)
This electric bike tour covered a lot of ground! We went from Barton Springs all the way up to the Capitol. It was definitely the highlight of my trip.
Parking was a bit of a challenge, but otherwise a great central location near the heart of the city center. The staff was friendly, our tour guide (Zac) was professional and informative, and the bikes were in good condition. Our 3-hour bike tour covered a lot of ground and some key spots, I felt satisfied that we received a good overview of the city. There were only two of us on the tour, both of us were introverts, so the tour was a little subdued. But otherwise a good tour and highly recommended.
