Had a great ride with Brenda today. This was a great way to see Austin. First time on e-bikes, though we rarely needed it, it was nice when we did!

Had a lot of fun wandering around the city. Bikes were easy to use.... min effort if you rather not work too hard at it.
Attended as a group of 5 friends, and welcomed in to the tour with a demonstration on bike operation before heading out. Bikes themselves were incredibly easy to operate and well maintained. Definitely made the ride easy owing to the electric assistance. Special mention to Brenda, our guide. She was charismatic and good fun.
We did a Saturday morning ride with Brenda as our guide. She did an amazing job guiding us through a variety of Austin neighborhoods, downtown, the amphitheater , the state capitol where we were able to go in to see the rotunda, and the Ladybird Lake trail. Brenda shared so many interesting facts about Austin and its history. A highlight was also seeing the Chris Kyle memorial. The Tern bikes were comfortable and easy to use. The ear pieces provided allowed us to hear Brenda clearly. The ride exceeded our expectations and we heartily recommend it. It was the perfect way to see the city.
What a fun way to explore Austin!! Faith and Tina led us on a great ride through the city. We got to explore different parts including downtown, trails to Barton Springs, Rainey Street and everywhere in between. Definitely a great adventure!!
Faith asked us what we really wanted to see and experience, and she delivered! We asked to get a lay of the land of the city so that we could explore further, and she brought us through some cool neighborhoods, touristy areas, and not-so-touristy areas. She was very responsive and insightful, and would recommend! The e-Bikes are amazing -- make what would have been a strenuous outing on bikes really easy.
Great tour. Brenda is an amazing guide. Austin is built for biking and the E-Bike is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this tour!.
This bike tour gave us a great overview of Austin! We enjoyed the perspective on two wheels and got to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. The electric bikes allowed us to cover a lot of ground with ease !
A great bike ride, great equipment, and great guide. Listen to the guide there’s a wealth of interesting information there.
Brenda was awesome explaining the details and history of the Austin… E-bike tour of Austin was excellent and customer service is above par as they do text you on what would you like see and what is your interest.. arts, history etc..
It was fun to just relax and ride and take pictures and here’s some history and see things we would never have found on our own
Brenda was very down to earth and fun to be around. I was lucky enough to join the group on Austin's "ride to work day", and had the pleasure of riding with Representative Doggett to City Hall, where there was a celebration and speeches from the Mayor, Rep Doggett, and others. I appreciate the ride around Lady Bird Lake with Brenda following this event.
We had a lot of fun! Our guide was knowledgeable and really showed us around the city. We biked at our own pace and enjoyed a lot of laughs. We would definitely recommend the tour.
Brenda was an amazing tour guide! She explained how to operate the bikes which were very easy to learn! We went to so many different sites and stopped and took pictures. We came to Austin without a car so this bike tour was great as we saw things we were not able to see without a car. Brenda was very responsive and contacted us before the tour to confirm.
Faith of Bike Texas Tours was fantastic and a pleasure to deal with, before, during and after our tour. She helped with the planning and crafting of a private tour to accommodate our varied needs and desires. Austin is a great town and an e-Bike tour is a great way to see it. A real foodie town. We loved it.
We did the e-bike tour and had an amazing experience with Chris and Kate. They had different route options and asked us where we wanted to go. And, that's where we went. It was exactly want we wanted. The e-bikes are in excellent condition and they took their time to make sure we knew how to operate the bikes before we ventured off. On our way to the bike trail, they showed us peacocks in the neighborhood.....yes, live peacocks just hanging out. They ensured that we were safe and that we had fun during our ride. My friend is not as confident on a bike and the guides accommodated her needs without making her feel uncomfortable. They suggested an alternate route that was better for her. We appreciated the extra attention to details. We also did a walking food tour with another company and this e-bike tour was so much better.
This is a real-Austin tour with a real-Austin resident who LOVES the city and LOVES biking. It is such an authentic trip - and is perfect for all adult ages and abilities. The weather and the trail system is great.....and would be hard to find on your own. We highly recommend this option. Great value for your money, but more importantly, a great value in learning about this community. A+++
Leeann was a great tour guide. We really got an authentic feel for Austin on this e-bike tour. Would not have been able to see so much in such a short period of time any other way. Thank you, Leeann. Would highly recommend this tour.
All of the special local sights and stories that Kristin shared with us! This tour felt very personal! She was terrific!
Kristen was an absolutely wonderful guide for our ride on a beautiful Friday in November. We certainly saw some great sites and enjoyed the comfortable and easy to use bikes. This was a fabulous tour and we would go again next time we are in Austin. We are also recommending it to family in the area and those planning to visit. Delightful!!!
We had a great time riding the ebikes. A great way to see all corners of the city. Being from Minnesota, the weather was perfect and the food was a new experience for us. Worth the price.
Awesome Way to See Austin. Our guide, Leeann was fun, energetic and flexible. She tailored our tour to fit everyone's interest. Would do again w/Leeann as our guide.
Donna Louise was a knowledge and super fun tour guide for my wife and I who had no prior knowledge of Austin. The E-Bikes provided seemed brand new and were very nice. As a bonus Donna Louise took some great photos of us at series or scenic spots.
First time visiting Austin and the E-Bike Tour is a great way to explore and learn about the city. Terry was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed seeing Lady Bird Lake, surrounding neighborhoods, and downtown. If we ever come back we will be doing this again.
This was the first time I have been on an E bike; and the first time I have been on beautiful facilities in Austin. BikeTexas staff Showed us a wonderful time on the tour. The bikes are so easy to maneuver and the trails are beautiful. If you get to Austin and you want a unique way to see the city; I recommend getting ahold of BikeTexas.
Highly recommend this tour. Best way to learn about and see the city of Austin. Faith did an amazing job and bows all about the city.
