Really fun from start to finish! Chug Norris did a good job keeping us organized and entertained, the band (Rojas?) kept us all singing along, and the driver Mark kept us from getting DUI's!!! Thanks Twisted Texas crew!!!

Awesome experience! Highly recommend for a group who likes visiting different breweries. Music was great!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for joining us! We love showing off a variety of breweries, and getting to include live music on board just makes it even better!

Fantastic Day

Tracy_W, Jun 2025

Fun day! Live music on bus, we stopped at 3 cool places and received a drink and some food! I will definitely go back to the restaurants we stopped at too. Tour guide took pictures and sent them to me. Drummer took a Polaroid picture and gave it to me too. Great day! Thanks

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for joining us--and glad you approved of the food/drink options. We love introducing people to our local favorites!

Bring your own beverages....

Sandra_B, May 2025

Bring your own beverages. Make sure you tip your drivers and musicians. Sing along and relax! It was a great time!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks for joining us!

Absolutely disgraceful...

Bobby_C, Apr 2025

Absolutely disgraceful service. I received no contact whatsoever, and they left before I even arrived, then falsely claimed they had tried to reach me. I requested a refund, which was unfairly rejected. They took my money and showed zero concern that I never got to have the experience I paid for. I will be avoiding any future bookings with this place!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We understand your frustration. However after trying to call (perhaps the number on file was incorrect?) and receiving no answer, we were left with no choice but to start the tour on time. The rest of our guests had arrived, and we could not hold the tour departure for a late arrival on your part. You were given the option to join the tour in progress, but chose not to, then calling our company a scam. We hope you were able to enjoy the rest of your time in Austin regardless.

Unexpectedly fantastic

Nancee_R, Nov 2024

What a fun day! The band was great, the beer was popping and Tex was an amazing host. We knew it would be fun but it was so much more than we expected.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Ok, you just made our day! We LOVE exceeding expectations, and we'll be sure to let Tex know you had a great day!

Do it!

Stacia_M, Nov 2024

So fun with the band and our host was amazing! Loved all the breweries and it got us out of the downtown area.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

This was 3 1/2 hours of great fun. It was a full tour and everyone on the bus was having a great time. Tex and the band were very good. The brewery selections offered a variety of beer choices and nonalcoholic choices as well. I highly recommend.

Fun, fun, fun!!

Erin_R, Aug 2021

Cannot express how much fun this tour was! Went to 3 different breweries. The band was amazing and it was fun to sing along to their songs. The bus driver, Tom the Bomb, and our tour guide, Tex, were also fun to hang and interact with. I am planning on going again the next time in Austin. Can't wait to try the brewery brunch tour as well. Do this tour if you get a chance!!
