We were instructed to arrive 10 minutes early to the meeting spot but nobody was there yet so we thought we were lost but after calling Mike he apologized and said he was running late but that we were in the right spot. The entire experience was nearly 2 1/2 hours and Mike was both knowledgeable and spirited during his discussions. This was a uniquely interesting and informative way to learn more about the city of Austin on our first trip here as we've taken other city tours via walking, trolleys, and buses but never biking. We enjoyed the opportunity to get some exercise while feeling the breeze and making some stops in between to soak in some facts.

This was our first trip to Austin and Mike was great!. It was in early May and the first heat wave of the summer occurred that weekend. We were able to get out early on the 10am ride and avoid the hotter part of the day. Mike carried extra cold water bottles which was necessary in that heat. Mike gave a great tour with lots of local details and through in his own humor. We had a great time. We highly recommend this tour, it was fun and enjoyable ride.
