Jordan was a great navigator and tour guide. He took us around historic sites of town and was very knowledgeable and informative. The ride was fun. Music was great. Jordan also pointed out places of interest we should later visit on our own. This was a great preview of the city.

The four of us had a great time. Austin didn’t feel safe on e-bikes and the city is too big to cover on foot, so we chose the pedal bike tour. Jordan gave us some tips about where to go later that night and it turned out amazingly! We would never have found those places ourselves. I would highly recommend it.

wonderful experience!

We really enjoyed the tour of the interesting places in Austin, but what we liked most was the company of Jordan, our guide. He was super professional, polite, and friendly; we felt relaxed and safe with him!

Great tour of the historic sites in downtown Austin. Our tour guide, Jordan, was very knowledgeable and personable.

Covering the must of Austin

Laure_M, Jan 2026
Nice way to cover the basics of Austin while not getting too tired from walking since you are all taken care of. We were lucky that it was a sunny day, but glad we took some layers as it was the end of the day and got a bit cold. We had a nice hot blanket at our disposal to use from the pedicab.

"The Peacock" pedicab

Corey is a delightful raconteur and fountain of knowledge about Austin Texas. He made this one of the most delightful 90 minutes we experienced during our stay in Austin.

Caleb Rocks Austin downtown tour.

David_H, Feb 2025
If you’re looking for a fun way to explore Austin, I highly recommend a Pedicycle Tour. Local, fun, intimate tour of downtown Austin. Our tour guide was Caleb and he was totally accommodating, creative and humorous. Excellent tour guide and exactly what I had hoped for in my tour of Austin.

Excellent Tour

Humayun_T, Oct 2024
Our guide Caleb was great. He described the history of Austin / Tx history very well. Highly recommend this guided tour.

Great experience

Wonderful experience and learning about Austin. Jordan was amazing! Knowledgable and helpful! Also made point to find the shade when we stopped!

Hot day for a trip but Dusty made it enjoyable!

N_H, Aug 2024
Dusty picked me up at my hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable about Austin history and places to see. He adjusted our schedule for a couple place I wanted to see. I would do this trip again.

Give it a go!!

Jennifer_B, May 2024
Great tour. We felt acclimated to Austin once this tour was over. It was nice to walk and learn about all history and secrets of this music city. Would def recommend.

Peacock cab history

DebraA_B, Apr 2024
Fun and different way to taken in the history of Austin! Our guide snd cab driver was fun ! Great tour !

Better options available.

Cynthia_W, Apr 2024
This was an average tour that could have been better. We had booked our party of 4 to be picked up at our hotel. At the appointed time we received a call asking where we were, they were not at our hotel. They arrived, 2 pedicabs, we met up with 3 other pedicabs and the group was informed we now had a late departure because they had to come get us? We had booked a private tour, just our group and that is what we paid for. So now there are 5 pedicab, one has a large boom box, another has a driver giving a loud private tour, our driver, while nice, was brand new and had no idea what the game plan was. 1. Did not pick up on time. 2. Not a private group as booked. 3. Tried to blame us for their error. 4. Boom Box and "private guy" made it impossible to hear lead driver giving the tour. 5. So no "tour", just a ride at $ 70 a person. 5. Would not book again.

Caleb did an excellent job and safely navigated the historic Austin. We would definitely have Caleb as a guide again. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic!

Best chauffeur ever

Lynda_T, Jan 2024
Jordan was amazing. He loves Austin. Showed us the best time. We will definitely come back. ……!!!!!!!!

Fun and easy

Katie_S, Nov 2023
This is a very fun way of seeing the city! Our guide was very fun and a good bicycle driver too. This is definitely a "light" history tour so if you want something in depth this is not for you. But a great overview

Great way to spend a Saturday

2Dave_D, Oct 2023
Great way to spend a Saturday. The ride was relaxing and we learned a few historical facts about Austin. We also took a lot a few notes on some recommended places to eat.

Awesome!!!

Deborah_M, Sep 2023
Caleb was awesome! We had a great time. He knew so much about the city and was a lot of fun. He took us on a great tour of the city.

Lots to be desired!!

Alfonzo_B, May 2023
I recommend the activity because of the chance to learn about Austin's history; not because of the tour guide. The package is labeled historic pedicab. Our tour guide lacked the knowledge of historic Austin, at least that's what it appeared to my wife and me. Of course, we were told about the bar scenes; however, when asked about a church he was unable to even say it's name. Only that it was in a few movie scenes. There were buildings dated to the 1800s that we left there not knowing anything about. Please encourage your staff to learn more about the area so patrons like my wife and me don't leave there not knowing any more about the area than what we could've easily Google!!

Ok tour of city

Traci_M, May 2023
Ok tour, for the price I thought we might get more historical info. Not just a 90 min ride around town. Ride and tour guide were good just didn’t think a value for the $130 + tip cost.

Excellent tour

Laura_Y, Apr 2023
Excellent tour! Caleb is eccentric, knowledgeable, creative, and all around great person and tour guide! I can’t think of having a better experience than the one he gave us!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for touring with us!

So much fun!!

Carey_R, Apr 2023
If you are looking for some quick knowledge of Austin that doesn’t involve a crowded bus this is the tour for you. We had a great time and covered a lot of ground. I would highly recommend requesting Caleb.

Funny stories and Peacock Top Hats

Dusty was great! He created our stops based on our likes and dislikes. He really knows all areas and shared Austin sites that were unique. Has music playing and wants to ensure you have a memorable tour! I have been on other pedicab tours but none as fun as this! Dusty is entertaining!!!

Dusty was great. Very kind personble. Here in Austin for a wedding had time to kill. Glad we did.

Anna_M, Nov 2022
The best sites were the State capital and UTA campus. Loved being in the open air and warmth of the sun
