4.Brewery and Distillery Tour in Kansas City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $98

Ride with Barley Bus Tours for three hours of brewery and distillery visits around Kansas City. Your guide, such as Antonio, Jake, or Arlene, handles the driving and narration while you sample drinks at three stops, with routes that may include Cinder Block, Big Rip, Restless Spirits, and more.

“We had the best time with the best brewery tour guide, Antonio! We went to Cinder Block, Emperial, and Stockyards, and while we were up north at Cinder Block, we made a side trip across the trip to Restless Spirits Distillery. Fun time was had by all, and the great staff at each location made sure we learned a lot about the product and process while enjoying the generous samples. Would definitely do this again.”
