Biking with best tour guide - Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable and kind. He helped us to setup our bikes and adjust our helmets. During the tour Michael pointed out several scenic views and was kind enough to take photos of us. We had a great time touring around downtown Austin and highly recommend a bike tour as a way to explore the city.
