Fun Bike Tour through Austin - The tour was great fun and oriented us to the city, which we didn’t know well. Our tour guide, Trey, was a very good bike leader, leading us clearly and safely through the city. He was also a font of information about local history as well as the food and music scene

great way to start your Austin adventures - We toured with Trey who was excellent. He took lots of time at the start adjusting the bikes to make sure they would be comfortable. The equipment was well maintained and despite some in our group feeling less confident riding on streets, he ensured we all felt confident before setting off. We saw a lot of Austin including many of the murals. Trey also shared an awesome playlist of local musicians along the way 👍. The tour was an excellent overview of Austin and we learned a lot about the arts scene in the city. It was a great start to our Austin trip and set us up for great food and music venues to enjoy the rest of our weekend.

Good experience and reliable bikes made our visit much better. - My friends and I rented three bikes to get around and explore the city for 4 days and it was a great experience. We also did a Bike and Brew tour. Our bikes were all set up for us and they rode well. The folks who were working there were really friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations for us. A couple of small things that could be improved: the lights that were provided on tow of the three bikes stopped working shortly after we got the bikes, so those could have been better. Second, since we booked the bike rentals and the brew tour, it would have been nice to have a more significant discount - granted we had already used a 10% discount code to rent the bikes in the first place, but given that we were using the same bikes we had already rented and paid for, it seemed like we should have gotten a reasonable discount on the tour - they may want to consider having an incentive like that in the future.

Romping around town - Trey is an enthusiastic and creative storyteller. We really appreciated his learnings and lived experience of the rich history (and herstory) of Austin. We learned a lot about art and architecture and, as a bonus, were treated to a custom soundtrack of his favorite local bands and a list of venues, bars and restaurants to check out across the city. The bikes were great too.

Fun and leisurely- good story telling and fact sharing! - Our group had a good time on this tour and we highly recommend it! Pace was leisurely and the tour showed us parts of Austin we would have otherwise not seen. Tray provided entertaining stories with historical references and fact and we really liked that! We learned a lot about Austin and got some local recommendations from our tour guide which were helpful. The bathroom break was a good idea. Main suggestion would be to slow down the tour in certain areas- like the bike path by the river/lake and where there is lots of congestion.

Art and Music of Austin - Fun way to learn about the city and get recommendations for places to check out. Our guide Trey was very knowledgeable and even brought along his own playlist of local tunes to listen to during the ride! We would definitely recommend.
