Save yourself a long walk by riding in an eco-friendly electric cart, and admire some colorful street murals along the way.

Eddie was our fantastic cart driver and guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable of the area, so he pointed out city sites as well as informing us about the breweries we were visiting.

Fun for visitors and locals!

Kayla_P, Feb 2024

We had an absolute blast doing this as a couple. Would also be super fun in a group! We are locals, and still discovered new breweries. We had never even seen before. Would absolutely recommend!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Yay! We love it when locals enjoy our tours and learn something new about our city!! We do take larger groups together and would love got you to book again in the future!

Excellent brewery tour

Cary_H, Oct 2023

Our tour guide Jeff was great during our brewery tour. We enjoyed his company as well as the breweries.

MUST TRY for locals or those visiting!

Andrew_D, Aug 2023

This was such an incredible gem of an experience for my fiancé’s birthday and we’re locals! They offered to arrange our pickup at the hotel we were staying at downtown a few days before our booking. Our guide Sarah made the experience so outstanding and memorable for us. She’s wonderful! My fiancé and I gained a deeper appreciation for Houston and got to try breweries that never even hit our radar. We also learned about the great art pieces around the city as well, while en route. I can’t recommend this private brewery tour enough - regardless if you’re a local, or in town visiting looking for things to do! You’ll be so thankful you did!

Amazing

Mike_F, Jul 2023

Sarah was absolutely amazing. Not only did we go to some great bars, she highlighted Houston’s history as we rode though the city. Highly recommend.

Guide was very knowledgeable

Andrew_E, Jun 2023

It was an excellent experience, my wife and I both enjoyed it. The breweries were diverse and interesting, not standard commercialized beer.

Best Beer Tour!

Cassandra_S, May 2023

We had a great time! We found new places to visit that I had no clue existed. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and fun! I highly recommend for visitors or locals!

Response from Host, May 2023

Houston has several hidden gems with each brewery having its own vibe! We love trying to match our guests with each one! Y’all were great conversationalists, too! Who knows… you just might come be a guide for us! You’d be awesome at it!

Drink up!

Charles_H, Apr 2023

Marna was an informed tour guide and offered history and humor to our tour! We met some wonderful ladies on our tour and ended up hanging out with them afterwards!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

I’m so glad you had a great time! It was my pleasure sharing some of our local breweries with you for your anniversary! It’s always great when you meet fun people along the way! Thanks for choosing Joyride for your special day!

Great way to drink your way around the city!

Sarah_P, Feb 2023

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our tour guides name is Sarah, and she did a phenomenal job. She took us around the city through the eyes of a true local. She didn’t rush us at the breweries and let us all have a great time. She kept us on track to be able to see other places, and she gave a great overview and history of the city. She was very kind to take photos throughout the tour, so my friend and I had photos to look back on. I would highly recommend this to her! The communication before the tour was great , and made everything very easy. Thank you so much!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We are so glad you had a wonderful time! Next time we can take you to different breweries!! We love Sarah, too!

Fun Afternoon

Judy_B, Nov 2022

We enjoyed all 3 breweries, but Urban South was very different and fun - I suspect I would not have tried it alone, but really enjoyed the very different infused beers. A fun few hours - Thank you

Hospitality that wasn't

Helen_T, Oct 2022

Tour started out amazing with great hosts and fantastic 2 stops. Along the way we mentioned we wanted to purchase some bourbon and tour guide offered to take us to a liquor store. We were then taken back to our hotel missing out on our last and supposed best brewery. We thought we were being offered great hospitality but the help came at a cost that wasn't explained and left us feeling cheated 😢

Response from Host, Oct 2022

More than likely there was another tour booked right after yours and our schedule did not permit stopping at the liquor store and a 3rd brewery. Let us know when you are back in the city and we will add that 3rd stop onto another one of our tours for you.

TerifficTrio with no sense of time!! 😂

Josh_H, Aug 2022

We had the pleasure of hanging out with Larry…I thought he said Larek so that’s what I ended up calling him all night!! He was fun, informative and took us to some great places, one new and upcoming that was Fantastic!!! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone heading to Houston!!! Thanks for a fabulous night!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

So glad you had a great time!! Look us up again the next time you are in town!!

Angela_B, Jul 2022

Perfect and safe way to tour breweries in downtown Houston - our driver, Larry, was knowledgeable and kind.

We think Larry is amazing, too!

Drinks with new friends

Steve_G, Mar 2022

We had a great time with Sarah on our brewery tour. We hit up 4 different places and had such a fun time between the drinks and the new friends we made. We don’t make it downtown much, and Sarah was able to show us so many things we didn’t even know existed. Perfect date night.

Hop to hops

sara_p, Mar 2022

We had a wonderful time with Sarah. She was very knowledgeable about all of the breweries and beer. She was a great driver and we all enjoyed ourselves. I would take this tour again in a heartbeat.

Perfect choice!

Kirk_G, Mar 2022

Marna was the absolute best! We became fast friends and had great conversation. She took us to three special spots downtown and ended up dropping us at a fourth spot called the underground so my husband and I could keep our beer adventures going. ABSOLUTELY recommend this brewery tour.. It was a last-minute decision for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it and know we made the right decision in choosing it! If you’re thinking about it go for it!!!!

Best Brewery Tour

Amanda_P, Feb 2022

Sarah was absolutely amazing!! One of the best tour guides I've had. She's fun & knowledgeable. She even directed us/took great photos for us so we never had to worry about missing a picture perfect moment. 😀
