Our guide Trey was absolutely fantastic. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgable about Austin's history, art, and music scene. It was a great tour, and we felt very safe as it was mostly on dedicated bike lanes. We highly recommend this tour!

Nice way to spend a couple of hours

Cari_M, Feb 2023

Our Tour guide was engaging and willing to answer questions. He gave us a lot of information. The ride was at a very reasonable pace, no hills, easy for an infrequent bike rider. I would recommend

Live music like a local

Michael_M, May 2022

Chris and our driver were amazing!! They were so friendly and knowledgeable about the music scene. All the three venues were great! The music choices were perfect! I felt like a local and I would do this again next time I’m in Austin!

Fun little workout

Jeff_M, Mar 2022

We rode at a good pace and the route was interesting and Trey was knowledgeable. He is enthusiastic about downtown! He showed us some of Austin’s beauty.

Bicycle tour was really enjoyable...

Dietmar S, Feb 2017

Bicycle tour was really enjoyable and informative. Could not get in to one of the galleries because of the gallery operating hours and we didn't have time to return on our own. Tour guide provided really interesting local and contextual information. This is a really good tour if you love real estate and or architecture ....which we do.
