Scenic bike ride full of history and pictures of bats.

Chuck_M, Oct 2019
Mike did a great job of explaining the bike ride before we started and giving a history of the city and scenic sites along with a great explination of the bats.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Super fun tour, don’t miss!

Ali20814, Jun 2019
This is an ideal tour! It’s active at a mellow pace, gives you a great sense of the city’s layout, and shows a local perspective that’s hard to get otherwise. Mark is a fantastic guide. Funny and knowledgeable. Perfect way to learn about Austin and see the crazy bat action!! Don’t miss this one.

Thanks for booking 2 tours with me Ali & Joe! --Mike

Amazing tour and Mike was a great...

Duncan C, Oct 2017
Amazing tour and Mike was a great tour guide. The bats came as advertised though a little tough to see at times. Good way to get to know Austin.

Response from Host, May 2019

Thanks Duncan, I appreciate the review!

Awesome trip, guide was incredible...

Peggy L, Sep 2016
Awesome trip, guide was incredible, tailored to tour to the riding ability of all guests and made the ride very fun and enjoyable. We rode in the twilight to evening hours making for a cool and interesting ride around Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. The ride ended with a mass flight of thousands of bats and the guide managed to get us there right on time with a ten mile ride around a lake on a safe bike path. I would highly recommend this ride to families and individuals or couples it was an incredible experience.
