My husband and I were looking for something fun to do in Austin (we live in San Antonio but we’re from NYC) and decided to purchase the guided bike tour at Barton Springs Bike Rental. We figured this would help us explore the city, and learn about fun places to visit in the future. And that’s exactly what it did, we learned so much rich history from a local; big shout out to our tour guide Parker! It was fun, educational, and it was great exercise on a beautiful busy Saturday afternoon. We got that Central Park vibe riding through the bike trails with views of the river and the cold springs, even the city skyline! All while stopping at major landmarks and learning the history… it was EPIC and it was worth every dollar and every minute and every mile! I got some great pictures and memories!!

I'm 64 years old and would have appreciated more information about the terrain that we biked. There are quite a few hills, and narrow pathways crowded with pedestrians and other bikers. I think had I known this information, I would've chosen differently. Our guide, Tanner was excellent, giving interesting tidbits about downtown Austin. I was disappointed that we did not enter the State Capital building, as advertised in the tour description. Overall, it was a beautiful day for a bike ride.

Our guide, Michael, was the absolute best! Throughout our 3 hour bike tour he was entertaining, informative and patient. He made certain that everyone was safe and as ease with the pace of the tour. He genuinely cares that the riders have a good time. The route of this tour is fabulous taking the riders through every corner of the city and into some less traveled areas as well. I felt completely safe in the busiest sections of downtown.
