Definitely worth doing!

DAVID_K, Mar 2026
It's a fun, nice trip around downtown Austin area exploring some art but a lot of historical areas unique to Austin. The bikes are in great condition (not electric) and the trip is fairly easy. There's only a couple of short hills - nothing too difficult for someone who rides a bike periodically. Our guide, Trey, was well versed on the historical sights we saw and showed us several artistic areas as well. His jokes and music kept the trip fun!

fun trip with Trey. would have liked to cover more ground. also though hearing local music was cool the music blasting made it hard to hear what he was saying while biking

A Great Way to See and Learn About Austin!

Henry_K, Jan 2025
We had a fantastic time on the Austin Icons Bicycle Tour. Our tour guide Trey was very knowledgeable and was able to provide a detailed glimpse into local history and lore. His insights into the local music and art scenes were great. I wish we'd taken the tour a day or two earlier, which would have allowed us to benefit from his suggestions. If you are visiting Austin, this is a great way to see and learn about the community. Auto traffic was very light and the ride felt very safe. The terrain was very bikeable, even for a flatlander like myself. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see and learn about Austin. Happy Trails!

Good informative bike tour!

Andrew_C, Sep 2024
A highly enjoyable and informative bike tour conducted at a nice leisurely pace. The bikes were very comfortable and we felt very safe on the roads. Our guide [Trey] was amazing! The only negative was that we had to pay for water which really should be included on a tour like this.

One time is enough

Margot_W, Apr 2022
The bikes are very small, more for children. There was no interaction with the guide at all! Strange pick up place strange staff, but that is my opinion! Maybe wise to say that people must bring a backpack and water. I cycle a lot in cities and mostly you get a small bottle of water and the bikes have a storage basket

Great Ride
