Full description
Embark on a 2-hour bike tour of Austin and pedal down to some of the famous spots around downtown and the river front. A local guide will lead you along a route that also takes back streets and hiking trails beloved by locals. Along the way, see why they like to "Keep Austin Weird" in this cultural hub.  The tour begins by going along the famous Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail, Barton Springs Pool area, and Zilker Park. Then, take a stop at the South Congress Avenue Bridge and learn about the largest urban colonization of bats in North America. From there, head towards the new boardwalk for amazing views of the Austin skyline. See Austin's hottest entertainment district, Rainey Street, and learn how it came to be.  Finish your tour by heading up north to the Texas State Capitol, where you'll be able to go inside and admire the famous rotunda.

This bike ride took us to see some great places in Austin. One of my complaints is that when we were riding, the tour guide rode so fast that we didn’t feel like we were able to enjoy the scenery. The information that was given at each stop was great, but we were also disappointed that we were not able to go inside the capital and see the rotunda as stated in the tour description. Otherwise, we enjoyed this tour.

Highly recommend this tour! We had the pleasure of embarking on this 2-hour bike ride guided by the extraordinary expertise and charm of our tour guide: Marc. Without a doubt, this experience stands out as one of the highlights of our trip all thanks to the impeccable guidance and genuine warmth provided by Marc. His genuine enthusiasm for showcasing the city he clearly adores was infectious. Throughout the tour, his attentiveness was nothing short of remarkable. At all times, we felt super safe. He also made sure that we felt comfortable and engaged. His willingness to go above and beyond to make our experience exceptional was evident in every interaction. What truly set this experience apart was Marc's extensive knowledge of Austin. Every twist and turn of the route was accompanied by fascinating anecdotes, historical tidbits, and insider insights. His passion for Austin was palpable, and it made the entire journey incredibly enriching. It was so fun!
