      Great food trucks
      Kip was very friendly and was great at giving us a heads up on all the stops and food. It was nice to see parts of Austin we would not normally go to. All the food trucks were really fun and definitely reflected the cool, laid back vibe of Austin. Downsides: the dessert was pretty mediocre. I’m sure there’s better options. Other food tours we’ve been on in different cities gave more of a history or background of the city and given the cost of this one, we expected the same. That wasn’t the case here.

      Great time with the crew!
      Our group of approximately 25 people had a wonderful time. Your crew made us feel comfortable and welcome. They were also very fun. The music was excellent and Mark the driver was very safe while also fun to be around. Our tour guide was excellent. She is a great person.

      Fun! Worth it! Do it!
      Tex and Clayton & crew were SO FUN! Highly recommend! The bus was clean and comfortable and the restaurants were 10/10. My favorite was the breakfast pizza and shandy.

      Keep Austin Weird - take this tour!
      Excellent tour! Pimp Piccadilly and Dan had a natural ability to get the group laughing and their sense of humor and musical approach kept us all engaged, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they do. It wasn’t just about having fun. Piccadilly was super knowledgeable and passionate, striking the perfect balance between education and entertainment. They found comedic ways to bring history and culture to life without it ever feeling dry or boring. So fun!

      Fave excursion in Austin!!
      This was so unique and fun! The food and drinks were delicious and more than I could even eat. Each location we visited was super cute with a different vibe. Everyone on the bus from our host Speedy to the band was very friendly and outgoing and accommodating.

      FUN bachelorette activity!
      We had the BEST time on the brunch bus tour for my bachelorette party! The tour guide was fun, the band was great and the stops on the bus were even better. The bus is BYOB and the stops had more than enough included alcohol and food as well! So fun highly recommend

      The bus was hot and the AC was not working properly. It was about 110 degrees outside. Would have been great if they had a cooler with bottles of water for everyone - other guests were asking for water. Dan the musician was great - has a nice voice and added a fun element to the ride. The disappointing part was that the tour is advertised from 1-330pm, and we ended early at 307pm. Left us feeling like we didn't get our full moneys worth. Would have been nice if we could have driven around South Congress more to add on some time, or stop at more than one of their famous murals around town for a photo opp.

    We had a very good time on our tour. Gigi was great with reading the crowd. We had quite a mix. Bachelor party, friends celebrating a birthday, and some other couples just in town on vacation. The band was great. I honestly wasn't sure how that was going to work on a bus and was pleasantly surprised at how good they sounded. We had a nice surprise as one of the guys from the bachelor party grabbed the guitar and sang a few songs with the band, which was a lot of fun. The breweries were nice and we spent the right amount of time at each one. If you like beer and you music, I would definitely say this tour is for you.

    We had a blast with Tex and Forrest and the Fire on our brew tour! Tex was great at keeping the energy going and checking in on the group to make sure everyone felt taken care of. Make sure you wear something cool especially in the summer heat as the bus AC was down and from previous reviews it seems to have been down for a while. We went to three breweries and were allowed 2 half pints at each. You are also allowed to bring your own drinks on the bus!

    So glad you had fun. And, yes, our AC does struggle to keep up in the extreme heat (something we're continuously working to improve!)

    This is an AWESOME tour!! Spending time in Austin, the beers were good, but the boys on the bus took us to some breweries on the outskirts that were on another level. The band was great, playing an great mix of tunes from different genres... Also, our host, Mr. Chuggs Norris took us on a foodie tour the following day, but he didn't use his real name on that tour.

    I came to a bachelorette party for the weekend. I had no idea what a brew bus tour was or anything. I don’t drink so I was kinda worried at first. We get on this bright funky colored school bus that’s decorated with fun vibes inside. We brought all kinds of drinks with us. So I didn’t have to worry about the alcohol, I had my water and cokes. We stopped at three different breweries. Free drinks at all of them! The live band was AMAZING! Everyone working on the bus was so sweet and friendly! All of us made friends with everyone on the bus, we all had such a great time!

    Thank you MEAGAN for an incredible private booze tour!!! My friends and I went to two breweries and one distillery and now we're looking into doing the brunch bus tour. The communication, cost, flexibility, and COVID safety measures from Meagan and her staff were great. Highly recommend!!!
