    Did the brunch bus tour and it was a VIBE! Live band on the bus to keep the party going was a top notch idea. I loved every single min of it! And the food and drinks at every location was amazing. Seriously, if ever in the area definitely should book this tour!

    Went on The Brunch Bus Tour with 10 Ladies for some Bachelorette Party Fun. There were 3 stops and at each stop we had an alcoholic beverage and a snack. Live band on board the bus which is great. Very organized tour and great restaurants/bars in the rotation. High Energy and Positive Vibes!

    We had a great time doing the Saturday brunch. The entire staff including Benny, Matt the bus driver and all members of the band were super personable. We started off at Still Austin where we had great drinks and amazing breakfast tacos. If you are here, also make sure to try the huckleberry food truck...it was WOW! We then went to central machine works and had some delicious shasuka pizza. This place is huge! We ended the tour at a third brewery (didn't catch the name) where we tried kolaches and if you were done drinking for the day, you could also have a cold brew coffee. Playing trivia was fun on the bus and the band did wonderfully playing our music requests. I would totally do this again. Throughout our trip, every staff member checked in all the guests regularly. I highly recommend this brunch bus.

    Super fun experience! We went on the tour for a bachelorette - highly recommend! You ride on a school bus with a few seats taken out of the front, where the live band plays. We made three stops at local restaurants, where we were served one small plate off the menu as well as an alcoholic beverage. Food and drinks were great! Portions are smaller, but we were full by the end. In between the stops, the band plays and there are a few trivia questions (small prizes are given out). BYOB on the bus, which was fun! Overall, fun experience!

    This past weekend my friends and I were in town for a bachelorette party. This was by far my favorite activity of the weekend!! We had an amazing time on the bus. The band was great and so was the host, Tex. He did a great job entertaining the crowd and making sure we got back on the bus safely and in a timely manner. This tour was so much fun because we were able to stop off at different local Austin restaurant's and enjoy a drink and food item. I only wish we had more time at each stop or driving on the bus to enjoy more music! If you're coming to Austin, I highly recommend this activity!! It's perfect for bachelor/bachelorette and birthday party's.

    We came to Austin for a bachelorette party and booked this tour as our first event, with tour guide Amber. She was the absolute best! Such a good vibe! So informative and brought us to the best spots! Every part of this tour was perfect! Food was yummy! She peppered in some great photo spots and just over all went above and beyond for us! We loved it! We wish we had her guiding us the whole weekend! 10/10 would recommend!

    26-year Austinite and somehow I have missed this gem until now. Highly recommended! Friends in town from Boston set this up and I am so glad they did, and so happy I joined them for this "bus with a band on the way to brunch" extravaganza. Amber our host and guide was super Texas-friendly and fun, and Hanna Barakat (more at https://hannabarakat.com) and her trio delivered cool tunes and a great vibe on the bus all over town. The 3-hour tour was well-timed and well-planned, with three delicious brunch stops complete with adult beverages at each one. I was delighted to see Austin icon Maria's Taco Express as our first delicious breakfast taco stop, and equally pleased to hit Lucy's for chicken and waffles (and a cock-tail, as it were) and the new kid on the block Batch for Kolaches and craft beer to wrap up. Conductor Constance at the wheel drove us safely from stop to stop, and our entire crew, including visitors from Chicago and Louisiana had as much fun as my friends and I did. We chose a beautiful sunny 68 degree day, so dining and drinking outside and enjoying the Texas sun made the day even better. This is a great tour for locals and visitors alike, a blend of so many things that maker Austin cool: tacos, brews, chicken, great live music and Texas cheer! Do it! You will not regret it!

Easy boarding, and an added attraction that boarding is at the visitor's center, which has lots of fun touristy items on sale. Hit just a few downtown highlights and back stories. It's not a fast moving or detailed tour - it's a shorter ride with more fun intended. The duck quackers everyone got when boarding were silly and fun and well used. Seating was a little tight for the grown ups (lots of kids), but the open air sides made up for it. The time on the lake was probably the highlight. It's a different perspective than the usual tourist view. We'd not do again, but were glad we did once. A little too loud and a little too kid friendly for that fifth star.

At first, I sat on the upper level. It was wonderful to be out in the fresh air. However, the sun was a little too much for me so I had to move down to the inside area. I was the only one down there which was fine, but it was really quite filthy. There was thick gray dust on the top rail of all the seats and the fabric on the seats themselves was all thick with black grease. The tour guide was really wonderful. Entertaining and knowledgeable with one exception that was actually kind of disturbing to me personally. When we got to South Congress he talked about the "I love you so much" wall. His story of a husband painting it for his wife could not have been more wrong. It was in fact done by an artist named Amy for her then girlfriend Liz an infamous Austin hotelier and restauranteur. It is an incredibly iconic part of Austin history and if it's told it should be not fiction. I hope for sure this can be corrected for future tours.

A few tips: - Don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen if you plan to sit on the upper deck. -If you're tall, consider sitting on the left side of the upper deck to reduce the chance of getting hit in the head by low branches. -Bring cash in case you'd like to tip at the end (optional). -If you're hearing impaired, arrive early to increase your chances of getting a seat up front (on upper deck) closer to the guide. Despite being mic'd, there were times it was a bit challenging to hear. -If you get a single loop trip, you're better off staying on the bus the whole tour. If you get off at any of the stops, you won't be able to hop back on. Have an open mind and have fun!

On the day of our visit, it was pouring down rain. We made sure to arrive early per the instructions and when we arrived there were several families already in line. After standing in the rain (with umbrellas) for 10-15 min past the pick up of time, many people including our group tried to contact the company for an update. We weren't able to reach anyone, so we attempted to take refuge in the swim club as the rain was really coming down. Many of the other people waiting did the same or went into their vehicles. It was close to an hour before the bus arrived and by then everyone was pretty much soaked from head to toe. Once the bus arrived we were let onto the bus and seated, our group was able to all sit together which was nice. The set up was cute and the on board entertainment was a nice touch, our host had a beautiful singing voice. We rode around Austin, unfortunately our windows were dirty/foggy so we didn't get the picturesque moments we expected. The food was what you would expect for a tea party, nothing to rave about but plated well. The drinks were pretty good but the drink portions were only a few ounces. Not enough to leave you satisfied, I think they should at least fill the cups half way or more and include bottles of water to help wash down the sandwiches and sweets. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend this for adults, although it may be fun for younger kids with lower expectations.

    First, I want to address the customer service experience. The customer care line was extremely…read moredisappointing. During our first call, we were placed on hold for 20 minutes and had to hang up and call back to reach someone. We live an hour away from the tour location, and due to heavy lunch-hour traffic, I left two hours early to ensure we would arrive on time. When traffic became unusually congested, I called to ask about the grace period and was told it was only 10 minutes. In my experience, most tours offer at least 15 minutes. The representative I spoke with was dismissive and rude, despite the fact that I had spent over $600 for my birthday party group. This was also the only tour offered that day. I was told I "should have been 15 minutes early" and that waiting would cause the tour to run 30 minutes late. Fortunately, we arrived within the 10-minute grace period and the bus did wait. However, the interaction left a very negative impression before the tour even began. Unfortunately, the tour itself was underwhelming. The food was average at best. We were served only five of the six advertised teas, and several of them were not enjoyable. The lemonade was the only beverage that most of our group liked. There was no tour guide providing information about what we were seeing around Austin, no music, and no structured entertainment. To make matters worse, the sound system was broken. We essentially had to create our own fun. For the price paid, I expected a much more engaging and organized experience. The bus was extremely hot, and guests were seated only on the top level while the downstairs space was not utilized. We were uncomfortable and sweating for much of the ride. The bus also had a concerning moment where it nearly hit a car and a pedestrian. Additionally, the restroom conditions were poor, and there was no running water available -- only hand sanitizer. That was very disappointing for a premium-priced experience. I do want to highlight one positive: Natalie was wonderful. She was upbeat, kind, and did her best to create a fun atmosphere with what she had to work with. The photo opportunities were also nice. Overall, for the price point, I would not recommend this experience. I chose this tour to celebrate my birthday, and I left feeling disappointed. Based on what I had heard about the Dallas and Houston tours, I expected a much higher-quality experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve future tours.

Originally we were told we were only going to get pushed back a half an hour and then when we got to the pick up spot at 2:30 we were contacted and told it would be closer to 3:00 and then a little bit after 3 o'clock we were told the bus was on its way, but were not given a timeframe. The bus pulled up about 3:30 but the bus driver had to clean up and restock and give us the rundown of how the afternoon would work and we didn't leave until closer to 4:00. Tour itself was fun; open air bus, music, sightseeing. We were only on the bus for an hour and a half instead of what should've been a two hour excursion.

When she asked us about it we told her the truth about the phone call and how we asked for the company to either refund us some of the cost or have them pay her tip for the inconvenience. We've been home for a week and the company has failed to contact us back. Horrible business management. Book a tour at your own risk.
