We really enjoyed our bike tour. Bob was a great guide - took us on a safe, fun, beautiful tour through several Austin neighborhoods as well as a spin through downtown, stopping a few times to point out things of interest and share some information about Austin’s history and popular activities and events. Definitely recommend this tour as a fun way to see and learn a bit about Austin.

Bruce_G, Apr 2024
Michael is an excellent tour guide; funny and personable with interesting stories and a wealth of knowledge about Austin.
14 mile bike ride my body needed, post BBQ eating!!
Elizabeth_B, Apr 2024
Michael was funny, a man was pooped on by a birdie and I saw a naked girl on the bridge 🥴 You were given a few minutes to get acquainted with your bike gears. We biked all around DT. Many photo ops. Bring a go pro! Or a device that can secure your phone to bike for videos. It was a gorgeous day! Lots of butterflies and people watching at the park. Thank you!!
The best way to tour Austin
Terri_T, Apr 2024
This was a fabulous way to see the city. Our tour guide Mark showed us picturesque vistas and was knowledgeable about the city. I really enjoyed seeing the Austin bats and a midway stop at a local coffee shop.

Phil_M, Apr 2024
Learned very little. Not a great experience. The guide didnt make any effort to make sure we could hear them (which we couldnt) as he made no effort to raise his voice or make sure we were close enough, he spoke too fast and the whole thing sounded recited. He didnt always check to see if we made it through lights, we even lost four people

Must Do in Austin
leslie_c, Mar 2024
Such a great time! Ace was the sweetest guide ever. He took time to tell us all of the interesting facts about Austin, showed us the sites, and took amazing photos for us. Super fun day in Austin. Would give it more stars if I could! Definitely a must do!
Fun Day
Tracy_M, Mar 2024
We loved the e-bike tour. Our guide, Ace, was awesome! Fun & leaned some cool stuff about Austin & TX in general.
Great day on the e-bikes!
Sandy_H, Mar 2024
Fabulous day on the e-bikes! I hadn’t ridden an e-bike previously, so I was a little bit anxious. Fortunately for me, Ace was our travel guide. Ace was professional and kind. He was very knowledgeable about Austin history and kept it funny! He also did a nice job watching out for each member of our group, making sure that we were safe at all times. It was a fabulous day! I would like to go again tomorrow! Highly recommend.
The best e-bike experience in Austin
JUTTA_G, Mar 2024
We enjoyed our Tutor guides, Mike and Pe. We had a fabulous time. They took their time explaining Austin to us in great deal and made sure that we were all safe and sound. I cannot rave enough I can highly recommend it and in hindsight, I wish we would’ve done that on the first day of staying in Austin and I don’t know our last. Greetings Kayla & Jutta

Ace was a fantastic tour guide! I learned a lot about Austin during this is great tour! We enjoyed riding the electric bikes too!
Would do it again!
Keith_R, Mar 2024
Very easy and relaxing. Only suggestion is for the guide to have a microphone. Hard to hear for the people right not near the guide. Lots of noise from the traffic.
Worth your time and great tour of Austin!!
Robin_S, Mar 2024
Great tour guide-Rob! We have done many bike tours in and outside of the US and this was one of our favorites! The electric bike was awesome-especially going up hills!!! We saw so much of Austin it was great! My husband and I are older 57 and 62 years old but had little trouble doing this 3 hour tour! Lots of mini stops where Rob was very knowledgeable and helpful-taking pictures of us when we wanted. The price is great! $150 for 2 of us for a 3 hour tour is VERY reasonable! You can park across the street where the food trucks are- which, btw, have a great selection! We highly recommend this tour! Side note- you can leave items (we had an un-needed backpack) in the shop if needed!
Well Worth the price!
Kerry_L, Mar 2024
Rob was so knowledgeable about Austin. The tour took us to so many cool places. Rob also volunteered to take amazing pictures at each stop. Highly recommend!
Fun morning!
Christine_S, Mar 2024
Rob was a great tour guide and clearly loves the city of Austin. Bikes were comfortable and easy to ride. It was fun riding through all the different Austin trails and getting an insiders perspective to the city.

It was an awesome experience with Mark, especially for a last minute booking. We ended up being the only two on the tour which made it feel much more personalized. He prioritized safety (much appreciated 🙏🏿), made it a fun learning experience, and had a full on bromance with my partner. Would definitely recommend for anyone who's looking for a fun bike adventure through Austin.
Grand time, the best 👌
Dana_N, Mar 2024
Never had a better tour guide in all my travels. The best adventure we experienced in Austin TX. Value for the dollar doesn't get any better. As snow birds no better way to see the city for authenticity.
Must do in Austin!
Tom_M, Mar 2024
We loved our tour with Michael! He was funny and witty and we enjoyed hearing about Austin during our ride.
