Texas Bike Tours Reviews

Two separate rides. Two perfect experiences. One an evening into the night ride with Jacob filled with views of Austin and the river in the glow and radiance of pure reflected light, plus an abundance of Austin history and a multitude of Austin life-experienced shared. A delayed start time due to be being stuck in Austin traffic and feeling anything but peaceful all melted away as we pedaled along the river and I listened to...

We don't usually write reviews but this tour was just awesome. We only had 2 days in Austin so Deaton organised a 6 hour ride that showed us so much of this lovely city. Jacob was an extremely knowledgeable guide and such a friendly person, which made the 6 hours pass so quickly but with no dull moments. The homemade granola bars were delicious. This tour was a real highlight of our two week visit...

Deaton arranged a fabulous, moonlight bike tour on the night of the full moon. She handled all of the details; we just simply needed to show up and enjoy the evening. Her personalized touches on every aspect of the tour was fantastic. She mapped out a great route that hit all of the beautiful Austin sights and I felt like we saw a wonderful variety of hot spots. I highly recommend Texas Bike Tours to...

I hadn’t been on a bike in 10-15 years and I had never tried riding in traffic. When I read about Texas Bike Tours, I had the idea that maybe a bike tour would be a fun way to break the ice. I wrote to Deaton and explained that I was very rusty and nervous to get out on the road. We agreed to do a "Get Used to Riding a Bike" tour the same...

I wanted to do something special for my husband’s birthday on our weekend trip to Austin. He loves trail biking and I’d read about the beautiful Austin landscape, so I thought a trail bike tour would be the perfect surprise. Deaton was wonderful, planning every detail, from the bikes to the food and everything in between. I presented a challenge since I’m not a trail biker. But our pathfinder, Adam, found the perfect trails that...

My husband and I took a tour with Texas Bike Tours at the end of February 2016. Before we arrived in Austin, Deaton worked with us to carefully plan out an itinerary that would fit our interests and show us the best spots in Austin. Catherine was our pathfinder, and she did a fantastic job of showing us spots around town that we would have never seen without the tour. She gave us great background...

I recently enjoyed a TBT mountain bike experience. I entered this with some trepidation because I have never ridden a mountain bike trail and have not been on a bike in a decade. My worries were immediately silenced when I met our pathfinder, Katherine Pierce. She has a calm, positive demeanor and gave just the right instruction at the right time. The trail had a few challenges, but none that I couldn't maneuver. It also...

Had such an AMAZING day with Texas Bike Tours! When I found out my friend Kellie was coming to Austin to visit I wanted to find something active and fun and FOODIE related for us to do! Because that's the kind of people we are... We workout. And we EAT! I consulted with Google and stumbled upon TXBT. Two weeks away from Kellie's planned visit, I sent an inquiry. (Mind you, this was the week...

My wife and I have been on many bike tours around the country but none have been as accommodating as this one. We pulled into Austin yesterday and were able to arrange a private tour today for my family of four. We had a blast seeing all sorts of sites with our guide Katherine. She knew every side street and bike path to avoid traffic and was very knowledgeable about the sites, restaurants and the...

We moved to Austin only a few months ago but never really had the chance to truly discover Austin. Being Dutch we love to ride bikes and figured it would be great to have a guide who could help us explore the city. Jacob was our guide and he did a great job! We loved biking through the city and felt completely safe at all times. Riding a bike is something we do every day...

My friend and I came to Austin for ACL and decided to book a tour on our last day in town. We came across Texas Bike Tours...and good thing, because it was the best part of our trip!  We took the South Austin tour that explored the SoCo district and we loved it! We had a great tour guide who knew his information and Deaton was a sweetheart. She had water bottles with lemon (my...
