My daughter, son-in-law and I took the guided bicycle tour at 10am on Oct 25th, 2021. We had a large group (10) but Paul (in the middle of the photo) kept us together, SAFE and informed. I’m nearly 60, but the 12 miles in 2.25 hrs were mostly flat and easy going. Some trail riding, some bike paths, a bit of road riding. A great way to wrap up our F1 Grand Prix weekend. Thank you Paul!

This was our first time in Austin and we wanted an activity to get an overview of the city. We booked the Austin in a Nutshell tour. Our tour guide was Paul. He was an amazing tour guide and gave us lots of information about the city! We could tell he takes a lot of pride in Austin. The bike trails around Austin were extensive and we saw a lot of the city. Paul accommodated the needs of our family and we had a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend!

Visiting Austin with my daughter to tour Univ. of Texas @ Austin and see the city. What a great day and first impression for my gal. Michael led a wonderful tour on the "Let it Ride!" version. My daughter's favorite was the neighborhood and downtown architecture sites. (she's applying for School of Architecture). I liked the capitol and park components. Feel like we got a good sense of much of the city with one easy bike ride. Wife even had a great time because the electric bikes let you customize your effort while working something she's already competent in driving. Made our one day in Austin

Had an awesome e-bike tour with Cody. He took us around all the sights and was super knowledgeable about Austin. Would definitely recommend the e-bike tour if you’re keen to see as much as possible in a small amount of time. We only had 2-days in Austin and this was a great way to get a feel for the city in a few hours.
Hot tip: Very close to Barton springs so bring your bathers and go for a dip after the bike tour to cool down.

Amazing tour with Cody! We booked a tour without much expectations (and absolutely no training!), and we were a bit worried about cycling in the heat. But Cody took care of pacing as needed, had plenty of water to keep us fresh and took us around the city sharing interesting facts about city life. Thank you for the great experience!
