This is an ideal tour! It’s active at a mellow pace, gives you a great sense of the city’s layout, and shows a local perspective that’s hard to get otherwise. Mark is a fantastic guide. Funny and knowledgeable. Perfect way to learn about Austin and see the crazy bat action!! Don’t miss this one.

Awesome trip, guide was incredible, tailored to tour to the riding ability of all guests and made the ride very fun and enjoyable. We rode in the twilight to evening hours making for a cool and interesting ride around Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. The ride ended with a mass flight of thousands of bats and the guide managed to get us there right on time with a ten mile ride around a lake on a safe bike path. I would highly recommend this ride to families and individuals or couples it was an incredible experience.
