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 Tray provided entertaining stories with historical references and fact and we really liked that!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.

Trey Bien Bike Tour! - We did the art and architecture tour. There were 7 total people; 5 from our group. It was a great way for us to get the lay of the land of Austin. Trey was very knowledgeable and fun. He played great local music from his speaker and gave great recommendations. The whole rest of the trip, we always said: what would trey recommend that we do?? LOL, he was really the perfect tour guide for us!

Superior overall - Trey was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Austin, from art to music, geography, and history. Safe route and easy, flat roads. Highly recommended.

Musical arts tour - A member of the local art scene himself, Trey’s knowledge is both deep and intimate. The tour was a lot of fun, focused on public works of sculpture and murals. One of Trey’s strengths is his knowledge of the links between the visual arts and music. My only wish is that there could have been more architecture. We passed a number of interesting houses, both contemporary and older, and more on that would have been the icing on the cake. But the local playlist that accompanied the tour was a really nice touch!

Great brew tour and guide! - It was just two of us, me and my husband, and we had a great tour to three different breweries with some artwork along the way. While the tour didn’t cover a lot of ground around the city, we loved the stop in the cemetery and history shared by the guide. Tray was a great guide so if your goal is to experience some of the art and beer, and get a bit of Austin history, this is a great option! Tray even had a local playlist of music we played while we were biking. The office is a bit outside the main area of town and looks discrete when pulling up but our “iffy” first impressions were squandered once we started the tour and had a great time. Thanks!

Great local Arts education. - On Saturday July 27 I took the Art and Architecture led by Trey Abraham. It was a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it. Trey knows a ton about Austin's history, artistic scene and also the music scene. He enhanced my understanding and appreciation for Austin. He also had some great recommendations for brew pubs and restaurants which I am already taking advantage of. Trey was super enthusiastic and clearly proud of his city. Thanks. Rodger from Toronto.
