1.5 hour bike tour

Kate_W, Nov 2024
Loved this tour. Our tour guide Michael did a great job! We opted for the shorter trip (1.5 hour) but still had time to cover lots of sight seeing. We Were able to ride along the bike/ walking trail for a lot of the tour so felt safe. And Michael did a great job riding us safely through traffic in downtown portion as well. Definitely recommend it.

Leisurely ride

A bike tour that will challenge your strength

Gina_G, Jan 2024
The bike shop outfitted our crew, and after a brief safety check, we were off on our tour. Rob was positive and flexible with our group. However, not everyone in our group completed the tour due to bike challenges and the rough terrain obstacles. The tour goes along a river that takes you alongside other bikers and hikers of all ages and is not a flat plain, as seen in the photo. Be prepared for stop and go and be challenged from dirt to concrete, with constant differing elevations as you dodge through regular commuters along the popular trail. I will stress that this tour is challenging, especially if you are not used to this type of exertion every day. You will be challenged and proud to have completed a strenuous course.

Tour around Auston

Biking in the park was very pleasant in the shade and our host, and did point out important areas that we needed to say!

Ever know what you will experience and learn. Worth it

Our guide was named Parker. He was very informative. I like most that he was good with my 9 yr old by not riding too fast and preemptively signing the next turn, etc. Additionally, Im a type 1 diabetic. When I informed Parker it gave me a great sense of ease knowing he is an EMT. Overall, 20 out of 10 experience.

Fun and easy ride around the lake

Sharon_M, Apr 2023

This was a great way to see Austin! Our tour guide, Jacob, was knowledgeable. He kept a good pace and assisted me with my bike when I needed it.

Zilker Bike Tour

Marian_L, Apr 2019
Our guide, Omar was great! He stopped whenever we needed to and he provided information along the way. The route did have some rough patches and it was a little difficult at times. It covers about 9-10 miles so make sure you are prepared.
