I was very much looking forward to the KC BBQ Tour. It was nice to be driven to three separate places (choices change daily, you are taken to three of a list of about 20-30 BBQ places they do business with). The food was good but there were 19 of us on the tour, so we overwhelmed the places when we arrived. There was no greeting at all from the owners or pit-masters of the BBQs so it really was just driving to three different places (10 min drive between each) and having a small plate of a sample of their food. I do not think that the tour was priced appropriately. I have gone on foodie tours all over the world, some which lasted 4-6 hours and all which included wine or beer; on this tour, all drinks besides water were extra. I would not recommend this tour unless they dropped the price substantially: $75-99/person instead of $155.

Great tour with wonderful food and history. It was just the right length of time and the variety of restaurants and foods was spot on

We had SO much fun! What an amazing cultural & delicious experience. Our guide was incredibly fun & knowledgeable. 100% worth the cost to have the best of every restaurant, transportation and skip all the lines - which some where a 2 hr wait.

We met some fun new people from all over. Our tour guide Arlene is fun, joyful, and knowledgeable and it’s a great way to spend a few hours learning more about the history of KC and trying some of their best BBQ.

Even though the photo of this tour shows beer…beer is not included which was a bit misleading. We got to visit Gates, Arthur Bryant’s and LC’s bbq. It was a good variety of bbq stops. Johnny was a great bus driver and all in all we had fun.

Another great tour with the Barley Bus Crew! This was my 3rd BBQ tour and it was just as enjoyable and entertaining!

Our first activity in Kansas City this year was a BBQ tour with the Barley Bus. We got to check out three great KC BBQ joints: Arthur Bryant's, BB's Lawnside, and Gates'. All the food was fantastic. Skip the meal before your bus tour. You are going to need the space in your gut! Arlene gave us a great history of the city, as well as all the food we were about to eat. It was delicious and informative. The bus itself was very clean, and spacious. Plenty of room for stretching out during our food coma at the end of the tour. The Barley Bus is definitely the way to try some classic Kansas City BBQ!

<p>Our guide was Chris and he was so much fun. The tour was fantastic. I bought this for my husband as I'm not much of a beer drinker but he is a huge craft beer fan and he was not disappointed, he was very happy. I would totally recommend this tour.</p>
