Toby is a fifth generation Texan who knows Austin like the back of his hand. He has super fun facts, lets you stop to buy chocolate chip cookies and has 14 bottles of water. Highly recommend this ebike tour to get out and about on the bike paths and see Austin properly.
A great way to see the city! The bikes were really easy to use and we took breaks and had plenty of water.
We are from Michigan and the five of us girls are on a weekend girls trip and this was an absolute must. We did leave at at 9:30 a.m. And even though it was 95°. It didn't feel like it. It was not exhausting. It was the perfect amount of exercise and coasting. Zac was great!! Good amount of knowledge of the city, stopping for key points and a great amount of riding.
If you want to get around to different parts of Austin and you don’t have a rental car — chose this bike tour! My husband and I had guide Rob, who showed us various sites, neighborhoods & landmarks around Austin. Rob was a considerate guide who gave just the right amount of history during our stops. Very interesting & knowledgeable !!! We throughly enjoyed this tour. So if you wanna see Austin or get around quickly rather than my Foot sign up for this Tour !!! PS (you do not need to actually rent the E bike because my husband didn’t…. He used a regular bike right but be forewarned…. there’s a couple of short inclines and one hill. Yet my fit 72 year old husband was able to do it on a regular bike!) Comfortable
I really enjoyed this tour! It was a really good introduction to Austin. The guide, Peter, was friendly, informative, and fun, and he personalized the tour rather than just give a canned speech. It was informative and entertaining, just the right amount of Austin history and facts. The e-biking is easy and Peter made sure we were safe. I definitely recommend this to others.
We are an active 62 year old couple visiting Austin for the first time who decided to try out e-bikes for a tour of Austin based on the great reviews and it even exceeded our expectations! Peter was our guide and we had a blast riding around seeing Austin and hearing the history and fun stories about what we were seeing. Even though it was a very hot day, Peter kept us mostly in the shade and brought plenty of cold water bottles to keep us hydrated. We highly recommend this tour as an adventurous way to learn more about Texas and this city’s history. Peter asked us what our interests were before we set out so he could customize the tour to our interests! Bonus was that we could park free in the small parking lot adjacent to the shop so no parking hassle whatsoever! You’ll love it!
Peter was our guide. He was excellent! We learned a lot of interesting history. Good pace. Funny jokes.😂
Peter was great. So interesting and friendly.
We enjoyed the entire tour. Rob was knowledgeable, kind and patient. He made sure we had a great experience.
Great tour! Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin!
