Mike Murphy, the owner/proprietor gave us a tour of the Equinox, New Belgium, and Pateros Creek Brewing Company on a Saturday afternoon. I even won a prize beer pint after answering a trivia question correctly. Unfortunately, I forgot it on the bus when we were getting off the bus at the end of the tour. Fortunately, Murph was simply awesome and shipped the glass to me! read more

Our party went on the local history tour. It usually is on Saturdays and Sundays but we called before coming to Fort Collins and he was willing to have a special tour on a Tuesday. The tour was fantastic. He went all over Oldtown, out by the reservoir, at which we stopped and had a break, and ended up going around the old part of Colorado State University campus. He had a lot of good stories and was very entertaining. read more

Excellent experience with Magic Bus Tours! We joined Murphy on a Sunday for a walking brewery tour and was extremely impressed with the tour he provided. Giving you VIP service at the brewery's with behind the scenes tours, in depth taste tests and knowledge about the whole craft. If you want to explore a few of Fort Collins breweries this is the way to go, especially to see New Belgium Brewery as he has a connection to get on their tour even though the day is totally booked read more

*Trying this again because my first review got filtered.* I was visiting from the East Coast, so I figured lots of beer + altitude + bikes = recipe for disaster. So we took the lazy man's way out and did a shuttle tour with Magic Bus. Very happy we made the decision. Our tour was the highlight of our "brew-cation". Note - tour cost includes tastings (which was not clear on the website). read more

Signed up for the Haunted History After Dark tour with a friend, and we found it to be quite a fun way to get to know Fort Collins and its history! It was my first ghost tour and I thought it was pretty neat, all things considered. Our lovely guide was equal parts enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable, and knew a lot about the sordid, tragic and torrid stories that seem to have occurred on almost every street corner. One of the best parts of the tour is getting to go behind (or more specifically, under) the scenes and explore the basements, alleys and foundations of the city. It's definitely something that you couldn't do on your own, and that alone is well worth the price of the tour. As for the ghosts themselves, I can't confirm or deny whether Fort Collins is truly haunted - but I'd highly suggest taking the tour yourself to find out! read more

This Brewery tour was amazing and would not have been the same without Murphy! Great energy, awesome beer and the best host! I highly recommend this tour and would go on it again. Get the taster flights even if there's just 2 if you it's enough to share. Then pick what beers your favorite and get a full one! read more

See all

I was trying to book transportation for my wedding. I sent in an inquiry asking for price and availability. They emailed me the next day. I messaged back asking if my day was available. It was a Wednesday. I waited the rest of the week, thinking, they are busy. I called the next Monday asking for some information back on a voicemail leaving my phone number, asking for a call or email back. I again didn't hear back. And now, a week after my I initial email, and I have gotten zero response from them. I called and left another message. I am extremely disappointed in their customer service. They are Not reliable and I will never recommend them to anyone. read more

Went on the tour with my wife and mother-in-law in the past month. What a great surprise!!! The owner of the company was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about beer, the local brew scene, and came up with great recommendations and samples for our tour group as a whole. We stopped at 3 different breweries, though I was told they change/rotate all the time. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure in the Ft. Collins area. And if you like beer, it's even better. read more

Did this tour as a friends bachelor party. By far the best bachelor party I've ever done. I've done the gentlemen clubs, private shows, etc., but those get so cliched. The tour guide is very friendly and arranged for brewery tours at each stop. He took us to the mega brew places (O'Dell's), local establishments, and the garages sampling flights at each stop. I highly recommend doing this tour for any hop head or even if you're just looking for something to do on a weekend. read more

Over Labor Day weekend I surprised my wife with an anniversary trip to Fort Collins to see Colorado for the first time, visit her best friends and of course a chance for me to taste some great Colorado beer! I was a little hesitant in signing both my wife and I for this tour since she is not an avid beer drinker like my self but man was it worth it. The owner workered with me and he did a fantastic job on the tour. He made the whole experience very fun, educational and worth the money. Even my wife had a great time and thats saying something! read more

This tour was truly magical! My in-laws and I happened to be the only people to book the tour that day and Murphy was still willing to give us the full experience in his Subaru Outback (this is Colorado after all) instead of the bus. He was so friendly and informative! He asked us what our preferences were at the beginning and made excellent recommendations while we were choosing which beers to taste. We went to Equinox, New Belgium, and Pateros Creek. I thought it was really cool to see a tiny little place like Equinox followed by a huge company like New Belgium, then end the day with another small local spot. I had actually been trying to get into a New Belgium tour but couldn't find any openings for months! It was so awesome that he was able to get us into that tour. Needless to say, I had a nice little buzz going by the end of it and Murphy even offered us snacks. I'd say that if you like beer and want to drink/learn some fun facts then you'll love this tour! read more

What an awesome way to celebrate the Fourth of July! This was my first brewery tour, and wow--our tour guide (and the company's owner) Murphy set the bar incredibly high! We visited several local breweries where Murphy gave in-depth descriptions and private tours of the beer-making process, and we learned about the origins of craft beer. But the tour wasn't all talk--we tasted some incredible beers ( from several chili beers to IPA's to dark lagers) and had a ton of fun along the way! This tour is well worth the time and money. I know my husband and I will book ourselves another Magic Bus tour the next time we're in Ft. Collins! read more

Did the Forbidden Tour with Suzy and it was absolutely amazing! My husband and I have lived in Fort Collins for 5 years and there's so much we had no clue of and learned about this incredible town during the tour. Suzy is so sweet and passionate about the history of Fort Collins; you couldn't find a better guide if you tried. We look forward to doing the Haunted Tour next! If you're reading this review debating on taking the tour or not, DO IT! Great for date night, friend outing, whatever... you'll be getting a great experience at a great price! read more

Awesome time! This was our first time checking out the Fort Collins beer scene and this is the way to do it! We did the craft beer bus tour. Murph was an awesome tour guide, he's the man! The price includes beers at each brewery, transportation, snacks, water, and the limo bus. We checked out New Belgium, Equinox and Pateros Creek. Afterward, they will drop you off wherever so we went to Odell. Informative, funny, comfortable and a great afternoon overall. HIGHLY recommended! read more

The day after July 4, we went on the history tour. It was so fun! Everything is well thought out without sounding overrehearsed, the guide and driver were so friendly and knowledgeable--we saw and learned a lot, from old photos to (really) old jokes delivered with beautiful enthusiasm. And speaking of beautiful, the handpainted bus is really something. I want to take the Haunted Tour in October, and to take my dad on the Farm-to-Table Tour. I would like to bring my sweetheart to this tour, and then bike to some of the sites and attractions we learn about or see on the bus. The bus is comfortable, and would be fine for all ages and many levels of mobility--the tour had a rest break and provided ice-cold bottles of water. We had a blast, and I think you will, too! Thank you, Magic Bus! read more

Worst tour ever. We had 3 people, so they did not cancel or give us the bus. We drove to only 3 brewery and we had to pay for drinks at New Belgium. We were driven in a 1998 SUV, not the bus. Did not receive 60 oz of beer, but had expired pretzels. Spent 2 hours or more of the tour at New Belgium. We still had to pay $55 per person, so we could have got a limo to pick us up at the hotel for the same price. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!! read more

Great tour guide and wonderful beer. Very laid back, relaxing and all around fun! Can't wait to bring friends on the beer tour.

Our tour guide was awesome, also very informative. Great place to do a brew tour in Fort Collins! read more

We took the brewery tour and, WOW, Murphy impressed us with his knowledge about the local brewers and the history of beer. He was very enthusiastic and entertaining. We visited three breweries and he led one of the behind-the-scenes brewery tours that was by far more entertaining and knowledgeable than the other "official " tours. The experience was worth every penny! How great is it to get chauffeured around in a cool air-- conditioned bus and drink all your favorite beers and find some new favorites and meet new "beer" friends. read more

We had a great time with Murph as our guide on Friday (3/30)! If you are in Fort Collins, this is definitely worth checking out. Cheers!

Went on the magic bus brew tour this afternoon. It was a great experience and Murphy had a wealth of knowledge. Visited Equinox Brewing, Fort Collins Brewery and Horse and Dragoon Brewing. read more

We took the brews cruise tour with Murphy and are so glad we did! He took good care of us from beginning to end. Very knowledgeable about the history of beer in Fort Collins and around the world.

My friends and I went on a brew tour. We went to Equinox, New Belguim and Snowbank. Murph was the greatest tour guide, we all had a great time read more

Highly recommend. Enjoyable and worry-free tour in which I learned more than I thought I would. Worth the drive from Denver.

I bought tickets for my boyfriends birthday. Prior to buying them I wrote a question on the site and Murphy responded immediately! I knew this was going to be a good experience based on the timely response I received. The tour itself was awesome! Murphy is a very nice guy. Very personable and friendly! I loved how enthusiastic he was even though I know he's done the tour many many times! He was our tour guide for the day. Patrick, our driver was also very nice! At the small breweries, (we went to a total of three different breweries), he sat down with us and asked us the type of beers we liked and then brought us flights of beer based off of the info we gave him! The bus had water and pretzels on it which was nice for the ride in between the breweries. We really really enjoyed ourselves! I would highly recommend this tour for locals and non locals! Murphy and Patrick were wonderful hosts! We were more than happy with the experience and will probably bring our friends and do it again! read more

A friend and I went on the Ft. Collins history tour today and had a fantastic time. Very colorful narration is enhanced with a well done media presentation of photos and maps. Murphy, the owner and our guide, provided an entertaining well-researched mix of stories, facts, and trivia about people and events that shaped Ft. Collins. This tour would be of interest to locals and out-of-towners alike. The "bus" is very clean and comfortable with large windows. Good value; definitely recommended. read more

We did the walking tour of Old Town with Murphy and it was well worth it! He was very knowledgeable of the area and brought along old photographs of key locations. It was fun and entertaining! It was our first visit to Fort Collins and we're so glad we did this tour!! read more

I just moved to Fort Collins and while my girlfriend was down here, We figured we would do this tour so we can know a little bit about this town. The tour guide was very friendly and had lot of experience in this line of business. He had traveled a lot of countries too so that was a big bonus as a tour guide. The bus was really comfortable and had a 360 view of the outside. Overall, we are really happy with the Magic Bus and would definitely recommend people to the Magic Bus! read more

I took the Old Town Walking Tour with my girlfriends on a Sunday. Just so happened there was a running event in town so Old Town was in full swing! Our tour guide, Murphy, was so friendly and knowledgeable about how Ft Collins began to where it is today. Ive lived in Ft Collins off and on since 1972 and found out interesting things about it's history and some of the folks from the past which some of our streets are named after. I saw things in Old Town that Ive not seen before which I was pleasantly surprised existed! Walking down the alleys of Old Town offers history and a different perspective of what I was used to seeing. A history lesson of some of the buildings in Old Town was very interesting as well. I highly recommend this tour on a nice afternoon for an hour of one's time. It's money well spent and would be a great activity to take visiting guests on. Im interested in doing the Brewery Tour sometime this summer and the Farm to Table tour as well. read more
