“We went to celebrate my friend, colleague and Aesthetician’s Birthday! it was a blast! – everything was perfect, the weather, the company, the ambience and of course our Tour guide – the one and only BRANDON! He played the popular music on our demand and took us to all the exciting places. Will do it again!” – Nazhat S., Yelp Reviews 2024
“We had an absolute blast on the San Jose Brew Bike – our driver Sadie was great- she had all the details we needed on which bars to go to for what fun and shared all of the tips for getting the most out of our time on the bike! Bluetooth for our own playlist made the music exactly what we wanted to listen to. The bike gets everyone smiling including people we passed on the street. Pedal power or battery if you’re not feeling it means you get there and back! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to support small businesses- both the Brew Bike company and the bars we stopped at! Thank you for a great time!” – Matt R., Yelp Reviews 2024
“Best Christmas Tour ever! We loved and doing it again! Our Captain was attentive and fun. Would totally recommend it.” – Adriana M., Yelp Reviews 2024
“I signed our office up for the Willow Glen Holiday Tour and we had the best time!! Our guide was the best, he made our ride so much fun. We were peddling to Christmas music while sipping our cocoa and looking at the lights, so festive. There were so many beautifully decorated homes, just what we needed to get into the holiday spirit. I highly recommend this tour!” – Virginia B., Yelp Reviews 2023
“You can’t drink in the bike… Just so you’d know. Also the tour us just the tour as in it doesn’t contain any beer or alcohol. You stop in bars on the way and pay for your beer. You can’t drink it smoke in the bike. Still very much fun :)” – Ilan Keshet, Google Reviews 2023
“Got my crew together to celebrate my birthday. Sadie was our driver and she was so great! I was stressing out about some of my friends arriving late, but she said not to worry about it. Luckily, we were the last bike of the day which I’m sure is why she was more relaxed with us. Overall, great time! Sadly, we did not take a group photo in front of the bike so I guess we’ll have to go again! lol” – Alycia H., Yelp Reviews 2023
“We recently booked the Willow Glen holiday tour and we had a blast! Our driver Dillon was really great. It was a really a great night with family and friends. I would highly recommend this next time you’re looking for a group event.” – Tim H., Yelp Reviews 2023
“We had a birthday party on the brew bike a few weeks back and it was really fun! Our driver let us blast our music and took us to three spots in San Jose where I believe we spent about 45 minutes each spot! The only thing that sucks is you can’t bring drinks while you are riding on the bike, of course California law. Anyway was a good time and would do again!” – Dana A., Yelp Reviews 2024
“I was here for my friend’s surprise birthday party. We had planned in such a way that the birthday girls were confused until they came to this place where the fifteen seater bike with the driver Sean was waiting for us. This is my first time and believe me it’s so much fun. You can bring your playlist on the phone and connect to the bike speaker and we were playing all Bollywood party songs. We had decorated the bike with birthday balloons and everyone sat and biked our way in the city. This was such a fun activity that we still remember about it and enjoy the fun.” – Usha A., Yelp Reviews 2024
“I highly recommend SJBB!! I rented bikes to throw a surprise party for my husband. Rob was phenomenal to work with. His drivers were super friendly and fun to be on the bikes with. We did a three stop pub crawl and it was such a blast! Everyone had a great time!!” – Robin Hunter, Google Reviews 2023

“The Brew Bike was a blast! Our hostess was funny and flexible to our needs taking us to two planned stops and back to our cars. We were able to play our music as we peddled along which made it even more festive. After our first stop for food and drinks, things got even more fun and silly. Even more so after the second!” – Cindy O., Yelp Reviews 2024
“I thought this was an excellent experience. I did for a bachelorette party and it was lit. Sadie, the person that operated the bike, set a great vibe. We were playing 90s music and were singing along to it. I was great doing the bike tour and going from one bar to another. This was great. I would recommend everyone to try at least once.” – Christine A., Yelp Reviews 2023
“Had a wonderful afternoon tootling around downtown San Jose on this pedal-powered trolly! We made 2 stops for drinks (you can choose your preferred bars from a list of I or so places), and had discounts at each. Our guides Chris and Christian were kind and took great care of us. Definitely a worthwhile adventure that I’ll take friends on again in the future!” – Megan Brown Sanchez, Google Reviews 2024
“We had an amazing time doing something new and active! The guide lets you play your own music and the girl who DJ’ed played all the 80”s R&B music. We all were partying and everyone on the streets joined in too as we passed them by. I think this is a perfect way to bring your own group and have some real fun!” – Michelle R., Yelp Reviews 2023
“I booked two Brew Bikes for a team bonding outing and we had the absolute BEST time! Our group is quite large, so it’s hard to find fun, new activities to do as a larger group. Our amazing tour guides Sean and Sadie took such good care of our groups and laughed and joked with us the entire time, only elevating the experience that much more. We couldn’t have asked for better tour guides. I highly recommend doing the brew bikes for anyone looking for fun, new, unique team bonding activities.” – Micaela Lopez, Google Reviews 2024
“Omg! Didn’t know what was going happen with all us on that bike!! But it was amazing, we had a great time. 3 places and we drank. We didn’t eat too much cause we didn’t want time to run up. The instructor was great, my friend didn’t give us any waivers so we had to all do that quickly. That was a hold up but he was nice and patient with us! We plan to go back soon.” – Bee K., Yelp Reviews 2024
“A group of teachers from my school had the opportunity to go on Brew Bike and it was so much fun! Betsy was an amazing tour guide and provided a quality experience for our group! Thanks so much to San Jose Brew Bike for providing a fun and relaxing afternoon with my coworkers. We will definitely be coming back!” – Sarah Jane Ferry, Google Reviews 2023
“So much fun! I’ve been on it multiple times and it’s always a good time!” – Kristen Farac, Google Reviews 2022

“Dylan was great!! He was very funny and made our experience absolutely amazing! I did the Brew Bike for my Bachelorette Party and 10/10 recommend!! Only thing I wish is that it was longer than 2 hours.” – Kayla S., Yelp Reviews 2023
“Celebrated my sister’s birthday with friends and family. We all had so much fun. I would definitely do this again. One stop I would not go again is Rookies. You have 30 minutes to be at a bar and the bartender was taking his time with making the drinks. We had to tell him we are on a time crunch. Other than that the whole experience was wonderful.” – Maria M., Yelp Reviews 2024
“We signed up for the Willow Glen Holiday Tour and it was a wonderful experience. Sadie made our light tour so much fun. She took us down so many beautifully decorated streets and even let us stop to walk around to take pictures. We were blaring Christmas music and wearing festive light up gear. So many people waved to us while we were cruising around and we were waving back. The holiday spirit was definitely in the air. Can’t wait to do it again!” – Lisa M., Yelp Reviews 2023
“How do I even begin to explain the best beer drinking experience ever?! I stumbled upon San Jose Brew Bike while looking up activities to do for my best friend’s birthday. We both LOVE beer but wanted to be doing something active at the same time. Lucky for us, San Jose Brew Bike saved the day! We invited some friends and we all extremely enjoyed it! And special shout out to our tour guide Anthony who made the day extra fun with his humor and silly dance moves. I’m definitely going to sign up for San Jose Brew Bike again!” – Helen Park, Google Reviews 2023
“What a fun way to spend an evening! Shawn did a great job of guiding us through the neighborhoods of Willow Glen to see the Christmas lights while listening to Christmas tunes. We felt completely safe, and interacted with our group and others in the neighborhood viewing the lights. I recommend this activity with SJ Brew Bike. Hopefully we’ll be back again next year!” – Liz H., Yelp Reviews 2023
“Had such a fun time for my friends birthday. Our driver was super chill and fun and made the experience that much better. We got to play our own music. And you don’t have to pedal that far so you won’t get super tired or sweaty. Definitely a good experience and worth the price!” – Amber H.., Yelp Reviews 2023
“My friends and I had a great time on the Brew Bike. Seems like it would be impossible to not have a great time actually. The bike fits like 10-15 people, and we had a blast pedaling around and making stops at various bars around town. We got to jam out to our own tunes and seemed to be the envy of all the people we passed. Driver was entertaining and courteous, offering us suggestions on what bars to stop into, and some light encouragement to keep pedaling after a few beers would have otherwise slowed us down haha.” – Mike Meade, Google Reviews 2024
“My girlfriends and I did this Friday night to celebrate my birthday and we had SO MUCH FUN!! Shawn and his sidekick Sadie were great and contributed to our mood even without imbibing! He suggested music, helped us with the bars, and was so patient with our craziness!! We will definitely do this again!!!” – Michelle S., Yelp Reviews 2023
“I attended a SJ Brew Bike event yesterday for one of my good girlfriend’s birthday. Our driver was pleasant, funny and informative. We did 3 stops, the 3rd being our final drop point. At each stop you are able to hang out at the venues, purchase discounted drinks and just vibe with your group. It was great to have a plugin to play music and we were able to hang a few birthday decorations! Such a great time riding thru busy downtown SJ. This is definitely something I’d do again. So much fun!” – Monica W., Yelp Reviews 2023
“We had a great time, the driver and host had a great festive attitude. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who likes to have exercise, digest there food and see the Christmas lights all at the same time. Worth the money $$ for sure.” – Gabriel K., Yelp Reviews 2023
“Had a great family event on the San Jose Brew Bike for my 78th birthday! Everyone participated (14), young and old. You cannot beat the brew bike for getting everyone in the right mood for an incredible family experience!” – Tim Q., Yelp Reviews 2023
“Great fun for a bachelor party. Made 4 stops over a few hours with plenty of time at the end to continue on your own celebration.” – Dennis Eoff, Google Reviews 2022
“We ride the Party Bike every year, through Willow Glen, during Christmas time, and it never disappoints. We always have a blast! This year we had Shawn, as our driver and guide, and he was awesome! We’ll be back next year for sure!” – Deanna A., Yelp Reviews 2024
