We had an excellent evening on the tour. The bicycles were really good quality and the guide was great. Professional and knowledgeable as well as good fun to spend the evening with. We visited 3 excellent breweries over the evening and toured around the north side of Houston mostly on cycle paths. I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing more of Houston and having a good evening. Will definitely do it again.

What a great way to learn and walk and eat and wine taste! Esparza’s greeted us with their famous Margaritas and a fried avocado filled with shredded chicken. They accommodated me nicely with two corn tortillas filled with avocado and shredded chicken. (Gluten and Dairy free, last minute request) The Messina Hof tasting room was beautiful and spacious. I wanted to take home every wine I tasted. Our informative and friendly guide, Patti, always went out of her way to answer a question or make sure every need was met. The olive oil & balsamic vinegar shop had so many flavors, you could spend all day. But you want to make sure and save time for the mind blowing fudge shop! Unique flavors, deigns and color, but most importantly the fudge was delicious!

Rest assured this adventure isn't just about beer. That's just the cherry on the top. We offer tons of fun quirky facts and stories on this adult sight-seeing adventure. Located on the east side of Austin's downtown, our highlights will include: The Treaty Oak, Hidden Austin Iconic Murals, Town Lake, and three uniquely different breweries. (Itinerary is incorrect because we could not add brewery addresses to timeline) It is an moderate level bike ride. This ride does include a couple of hills, so be ready. But, fear not, there are three different breweries that will reward your riding efforts with cold brews. :) At the end of the tour, you will leave happy, refreshed, and educated. Beers, bikes, helmets, and a knowledgeable guide are included in the price.

Inclusions: Beers, Local guide, Use of bicycle, Use of helmet

Exclusions: Transportation to/from attractions, Lunch

Kevin and Liz exceeded our expectations with their warm personality, adventurous attitude and fun vibes! The wife and I lived in San Antonio for 30+ years and learned more about the historical aspect of the city in 4 hours compared to all the years in grade school! In the midst of sight seeing through the city, Kevin and Liz made sure to connect with us personally. If you observed us during the tour, you could have predicted we were life long friends who just reconnected after not seeing each other for years! If you are looking for something unique, spontaneous and adventurous mixed with fun ~ than DO NOT think twice ... reserve a seat! HIGHLY recommend for couples or even someone trying to entertain a friend or family member for a day! I plan on bringing my two older kids next time and make it a family trip.
