5Bikes - Murals - Music - Downtown Austin
It was a great tour with fun little stories. Biking was easy with lots of stops. We had thes best dressed tour guide who played good local music.
5Do it—Trey’s great!
Fantastic experience! As experienced travelers who are actually quite familiar with Austin and it’s history and avid bikers, we were wondering what to expect… It did not disappoint in any level, and Trey was particularly knowledgeable, fun, and energetic! Totally worth doing. The way he weaves in local music and real local things to do is a nice bonus!
5Fun and educational
We were visiting Austin for the first time and opted to take a bike tour to see and learn a little about the city. We were fortunate enough to have Trey as our guide and nobody else on the tour on a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree February day. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and our bikes were already prepared. After a safety briefing and instructions about the bike and tour, we were off to see the sights. Trey is native to the area and very knowledgeable about the history and sights with several stops along the 7 mile journey. Not only did we learn about history, art and architecture, we enjoyed great music from local artists Trey played on a portable speaker along the way. ( he even shared his Spotify playlist with me at the end of the tour) The ride was very easy, and Trey always made sure we stayed together through the downtown area. I’d highly recommend this tour, even if you’re not an experienced biker. Great for visitors, and even locals who’d like to learn a little more about their great city.
5Taste of Austin’s art, city, culture, music and food recs!
So fun!!! Highly recommend taking this tour!! Saw very cool art/buildings/trees, learned some Austin history and culture, and biked around Austin with some great music and a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide Trey!!
5Austin: Art, Biking, and Culture (ABC)
The Austin Art and Architecture bike tour (1/17/2026) was fantastic. I scheduled it weeks before my trip. I don’t remember our guide’s name. He was very personable, knowledgeable and fun. Skinny tall guy with wild jumpsuit. It was obvious that he loves Austin, art, Music, biking and his job! Thank-you for a wonderful experience!

About Austin
Austin is the capital of Texas on the Colorado River, a hill-country city known for live music, a spring-fed pool, bats at dusk and Texas barbecue.
Austin lies on the Colorado River where the Texas Hill Country begins, with the long Lady Bird Lake running through the centre. The State Capitol, built of pink granite in 1888, is taller than the national Capitol in Washington, and Congress Avenue runs from it down to the river. Austin calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World, and Sixth Street and many small venues keep up the claim.
Top-ranked sights in Austin: 6th Street , Congress Avenue Bridge (South Congress Bridge), Texas Capitol.
