Fun and immersive! - A fun and immersive way to see Austin! Our guide Rob did a fantastic job leading us through the beautiful river and park bike paths and navigating through the scenic downtown. Each stop was a great choice and he offered some interesting facts about each and even took our pic anytime we liked! I highly recommend it! I’d possible, I’d recommend the morning ride, the weather was perfect for us, clear sky and perfect temps!

Great tour of Austin! - Informative and fun tour. Our guide Pete kept us safe, shared tons of information about Austin and ensured we had fun along the way. Even though I had visited Austin several times previously, I learned many new things. Thanks Pete!

Peter is the best!!! - On a solo trip to see the city for the first time, I booked a “Austin in a nutshell” tour my first morning in town. It ended up being a 1:1 ride with Peter and he was an excellent guide! I was able to get a feel for the city, see some areas I might not have seen otherwise (didn’t rent a car). He did a great job keeping the tour brief and engaging but packing in lots of history, fun facts, and jokes. We ended up biking about 6 miles in total, but it wasn’t strenuous by any means. Plenty of breaks and a relaxed pace. I would recommend that anyone booking this tour be familiar with the mechanics of starting & stopping biking (lots of waiting at lights) and that they request Peter! Very knowledgeable and friendly guy!
