Texas Bike Tours Reviews

I contacted Deaton and she replied immediately even though I contacted her only a week in advance . A group of 14 Cal fans were all going to Austin for the UT game. We wanted to see Austin like a local but also spend time outdoors. This tour was well thought out for our large group. Deaton took all the personal details ahead of time. When we met at the bike shop the bikes were...

 Our bike tour was the best ever!  My daughter and I traveled to Austin for the weekend for her business. We had several hours that I knew she would be free, so I found Texas Bike Tours online. From the first contact with Deaton, I knew it would be great, because Deaton was so kind to me in her emails. She went above and beyond to make it an absolutely amazing experience for our first...

Texas Bike Tours was incredible from start to finish. I wrote an email asking for some information, and I received a response from Deaton almost immediately, saying she was out on a tour at the moment, but would write to me as soon as she could. That was my first indication that Deaton and Texas Bike Tours was going to take great care of me. From then on out, she answered all of my questions,...

Best thing I did in Texas! Deaton runs the show and she is amazing! Answered all my emails immediately, customized our tour from start to finish, and even booked us for a tour on a day the company was supposed to be closed! You can tell she loves what she does...it comes through in the experience! If you are thinking about doing this tour, think no longer: Book it!! Thanks Deaton, you rock!

This bike tour far exceeded my expectations. I am an avid mountain biker from the northeast and street riding just really isn't my thing. Deaton went above and beyond with planning my tour. We saw a lot of neighborhoods, Barton springs, the mural wall, and did an 11-mile ride all over the city. All throughout, Deaton shared with me her wealth of knowledge and even included such interesting tid bits about the native American tribes...

We spent our first morning in Austin with Deaton who gave us the perfect start for our three-day city visit. We spent the next two days visiting the sites, neighborhoods, restaurants and clubs that Deaton pointed out to us during her three-hour bike tour. She set us up with quality rental bikes and we especially enjoyed the customized extras including a homemade granola bar and an ice cold washcloth to conclude our tour.

My husband and I had such a great time biking through the beautiful trails and neighborhoods that Austin has to offer. Coming from a non-biking city, we were a bit nervous biking through the streets with the regular car traffic, but after the first hour with Catherine, we felt at ease. We even kept the bikes after the tour and did some exploring on our own. Catherine was very friendly and took some awesome pictures...

We did a small company retreat and reached out to Texas Bike Tours for one of our excursions. We are in the hospitality business so it takes a lot to impress this group, but Deaton went above and beyond the call of duty!!! She put together a perfect, customizable tour for our group of 8. First off, ahead of time we chatted several times to get the perfect route together. Many times when you do...

Yesterday was my 3rd time to use Texas Bike Tours, so I don't even need to say how much I love it  Whenever I have guests this will be on 'must do' list. Deaton is amazing, and I always have feeling that her priority is not to earn money but to have happy clients. She always have prepared snacks, wet towels, sunscreen lotion, water etc. I moved to Austin less than 2 years ago and on...

We had a wonderful experience and got to see more of the "Real" Fredericksburg than any museum or other tour could offer. This was our third trip to the area and in our two hours with our guide Tasha we learned more about the area and its founding than we had in our two previous trips combined. In only two hours of easy bike riding, we saw more of the city than most residents. The...

Let me start at the very beginning .... From my very first encounter with Deaton via email and by phone I instantly knew that this would not be your average bike tour, and I also knew there would be lots of laughter, local knowledge gained & amazing attention to detail.  Deaton is someone who is passionate about her business, her city, biking & most importantly ... People!! Nothing was too much trouble & she asked lots...

Deaton planned the perfect route for our family with three young kids. She thoughtfully created a tour through some of the city based on our biking experience, needs, and interests. It was exactly what we needed! Everyone had a great time-especially the kids. She was so attentive to details throughout the tour, and surprised us with wonderful treats from beginning to end. I highly recommend Deaton and this tour company!!
