What teams say after the outing

“I booked the Barley bus for a team building/dinner evening in K.C. I chose the tacos & margaritas tour. Arlin was a wonderful host sharing some of the history and culture around the Kansas City area. She called ahead to ask about our interests and made the night a huge success. Plenty of food and drinks! I highly recommend! Thank you!”

“I used Barley Bus for my corporate event bringing in my Kansas team. They were SO ACCOMMODATING leading up to and during the entire event. They allowed me to customize our tour and continue to add guests. The night of, the drivers were fun, outgoing, and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great time. They took pictures throughout the night and even made a video of the group! Cannot say enough about this company and it’s people!”

“Such a great guide during our corporate retreat! The locations they guided us to each provided a great insight to the KCMO culture and history while providing a great buzz. Joe (JimBob) was so patient with us and did his best to keep up with our craziness.”

The 20-passenger bus is $175 and $200.

Tours and hourly rentals add the same 10% gratuity at checkout.

How many people do we need?

A guided outing is priced for at least 10 guests on the 14-passenger bus, or 15 on the 20-passenger bus. Smaller team? Join one of our public tours. More than 20? We bring a second bus.

Can you pick us up at the office?

Yes. We pick up at your office, hotel or wherever the day starts. Pickup within 20 miles of downtown Kansas City is included. 20 to 35 miles adds a flat $150, shown before you pay.

What about coworkers who don't drink?

Non-drinkers are welcome, though winery, brewery, distillery and Tacos & Margaritas outings need everyone 21+ with a valid ID, checked at boarding. The BBQ tour is food-first and open to all ages, so it works for any team.

Can we bring our own drinks and snacks?

Yes, bring your own. Just no glass. On a bus rental, alcohol is allowed only if everyone aboard is 21+.

How do we hold our date?

Booking 16 or more days out? A $200 deposit holds your date and counts toward your total. The deposit is non-refundable. Booking 15 days out or sooner, you pay in full when you book.

How far ahead should we book?

Saturdays book 1 to 2 months out in peak season, so lock yours in early. Last minute? Call or text 816-323-3889 and we'll check what's open.
