Definitely a must do to see Austin

Linda_T, Jul 2026
We enjoyed the entire tour. Rob was knowledgeable, kind and patient. He made sure we had a great experience.

Great way to see Austin!

vardouhi_a, Jun 2026
First time in Austin decided to do a tour of the city via bike tour. Our tour guide Peter was amazing. He has so much information about the whole city. Highly recommend him!

Absolutely impressed

Nick_H, Jun 2026
I was very impressed with this tour. I thought we were going to ride around Barton Springs but we ended up riding 9.98 miles all the way to the Capitol building and around downtown after riding around Barton Springs. The electric bike made it so easy and I never felt fatigued. The tour operator brought plenty of water, and that was very welcome, but we also stopped at a couple of places to get food/water/refreshments along the route. This tour was definitely worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys riding around on a bike. (They also have one of the softest dogs at the shop. She's a good girl.)

This electric bike tour covered a lot of ground! We went from Barton Springs all the way up to the Capitol. It was definitely the highlight of my trip.

Nice Overview of the City

Allan_W, Jun 2026
Parking was a bit of a challenge, but otherwise a great central location near the heart of the city center. The staff was friendly, our tour guide (Zac) was professional and informative, and the bikes were in good condition. Our 3-hour bike tour covered a lot of ground and some key spots, I felt satisfied that we received a good overview of the city. There were only two of us on the tour, both of us were introverts, so the tour was a little subdued. But otherwise a good tour and highly recommended.

A perfect way to see Austin.

City tour of Austin

Martin_R, Mar 2026
A great way to see the city of Austin, Mike was a great guide very knowledgeable with Dad jokes thrown in for free. Pace of the ride was comfortable , I was given the option of going faster, but I’m on Holiday..👍👍

Awesome tour!

Charles_S, Mar 2026
Toby was so knowledgeable and fun. He took us to so many cool places! Highly recommend this tour to visitors or locals.

Austin highlight ride.

Dani_H, Mar 2026
Michael is a great guide with intimate knowledge of the toured area and he is very patient with new riders. His timing at stoplights to tell us the story of the city around us and resume riding when the light turned green was almost scary. Great tour and great guide!

EBike Adventure

Clint_A, Mar 2026
Peter is a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Austin. We would definitely do the tour again.

Get Rob!

Camry_J, Mar 2026
It’s a really scenic tour. Our guide, Rob, was knowledgeable about all the interesting history of Austin. It really shows what makes Austin special in a fun way. The ride is well worth the money. It is long, but if you need accommodations your tour guide will help!

Bike tour interesting

Alessia_R, Mar 2026
Thank you Peter, you have been an entertaining tour guide with the electric bikes! Hope to receive those 2 photos you could shoot on my behalf with your phone, as I left mine, out of charge ... Thank you!

Great Intro to Austin!

Daniel_H, Mar 2026
I toured around South Austin, downtown, and the State Capitol and it was a lot of fun! My tour guide Michael was nice and knowledgable. You will bike along the water and it may get chilly and windy, so prepare to bring extra layers and even gloves if you have them.

Home Grown Tourists

Blanche_F, Mar 2026
We are new residents of Austin and decided to take this bike tour and be "tourists" in our own city! It was a wonderful, interesting experience. Our guide Toby provided excellent information and insights. The bikes were easy to ride, the route was mostly NOT in traffic, and the pace was good.

Good tour but Michael...

Melissa_G, Mar 2026
Good tour but Michael needed to slow the pace a bit...riders were lagging behind and at one point took us right smack through the middle of protesters! Agh!! Not sure if this was part of the route or plan but definitely should have been avoided if possible.

This tour is a MUST!

Joanna_R, Mar 2026

v e ry nice experience. I enjoyed during two hours and visited some beautiful places in Austin. Pieter is a very nice guide and I have learned from him.

Terrific tour of Austin with Peter!!

Staci_N, Feb 2026
Great e-bike tour and a perfect way to see the entire area! The ride was equal parts dedicated bike paths through the vast parks and on dedicated bike lanes in the city. We also rode on quiet neighborhood streets with unique homes. Peter was a terrific tour guide as he was very informative, funny, and safety conscious. He took time in the beginning to make sure everyone got familiar with the bikes, and then stopped at regular intervals to discuss & describe various points of interest. Overall, it was super easy and you definitely see a lot in those three hours!
