Celebrated Mother's Day and a birthday by signing up for City Brew Tours Cleveland. I knew I'd…read moreenjoy it, simply based on the company and the fact we'd be trying all kinds of different beers, but I underestimated just how educationally stimulating the experience would also be. Our Beer Guide was Christian, and he couldn't have been better! At each stop, we took a tour of their facility and learned about different phases of the beer brewing process. I had very little knowledge about the process going in, but by the end of it, I had a whole new appreciation for one of my favorite beverages. We stopped at Market Garden Brewery, Goldhorn Brewery, Collision Bend, and Brick & Barrel, and each stop educated us a little bit about the selected beers they offered, what they pair well with, etc. All told, we tried 13 different beers, and had some food pairings specifically at Collision Bend. In the end, it was well worth the money, the day was enjoyed by everyone involved, and I can't stress just how great Christian was at making the experience a memorable one. I can't wait to try another one of their tours in the near future! FWIW: if you enjoy IPAs, the Dead Man's Curve IPA from Goldhorn Brewery is fantastic!

We enjoyed this beer tour. We visited three local craft breweries. They were Gold Horn Brewery,…read moreBook House Brewery and Brick and Barrel. We sampled 13 beers on our tour. We also had soft pretzels at Gold Horn Brewery. Roger, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about beer and the brewing process. He was friendly and welcomed any and all questions. Our tour was full with 14 people and everyone lived in the Cleveland area. The tour van was very comfortable and we arrived at all of our destinations quickly. Our tour lasted approximately 3 1/2 hours. It was interesting talking with people and discussing the different beer options. For those interested in more than tasting, there was an in depth talk regarding the brewing process. We were required to wear closed toed shoes and we visited two of the brewery's brewing areas. I was a little disappointed at our stop at Brick and Barrel. It appeared that they were not expecting us and we could only find outdoor seating. It was chilly. Fortunately we were not there too long. We ended the tour where we started at the Double Tree downtown. We had good beer and good conversation. It was a nice evening.

Let me start with the good. The trip was great. The crew…read morewas wonderful. The music was fantastic. The views are beyond compare. The perfect way to spend a few hours on a hot summer afternoon. The experience was FIVE STARS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But ... dealing with the sales office to get ON on the boat? ZERO STARS. We planned a 2-part surprise party - the first part was a ride on the Tiki Barge for 11 people early on Sunday afternoon, and the second part was a cookout after for another 16-18 people. We were told by the owners to make reservations in advance, which we did weeks ahead of time. Then we waited and waited and waited - but even though we had paid, we never got confirmation. I called the Monday before and was told that our trip had been cancelled because there weren't enough people (funny, that wasn't mentioned when we made the reservations). They said that they were planning on calling us "later in the week" to let us know. So, our early trip had been cancelled, but we were welcome to call off our 30-person cookout that afternoon and come on a trip later in the day. WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF MAKING RESERVATIONS?! So, we had less than a week to reschedule an entire event that had taken weeks to plan, because Tiki Barge apparently doesn't honor the reservations they tell you to make. If it had been up to me, I would have cancelled the whole trip and gone on the Goodtime III or something, but the birthday person had wanted to go on the boat for quite a while, so we went. The experience on the boat was FANTASTIC. I can't say enough good about the Captain, his Mate and the trip itself. But unless you buy out the entire boat, or if you're lucky and they don't cancel your reservation, it doesn't look like you can actually count on going. They offer "single ticket options" - but unless there are a lot of random strangers showing up at the same time, that doesn't seem likely. SO - It's basically a case of "Make a reservation and give us your money. You might be able to take the trip you paid for, but maybe not. If you can't, you're welcome to take a different trip that is totally inconvenient you, but it works better for us, so who cares? If we cancel, we'll probably let you know a few days in advance, but you should probably have a backup plan." TLDR: Great crew, great trip, great views, great value. FIVE STARS But the lousy way the sales office treats their customers drops the overall rating to TWO STARS

The Tiki Barge was fun. Twenty people were included. Three companies shared the cost since it was…read more$800, plus food and drinks. These companies brought in wraps, petite sandwiches, a cheese and sausage tray and chips, which weren't eaten. One host made a tropical drink mix ahead of time for all who wanted. He brought extra pineapple juice if the rum was too strong. There was also an IPA and water. The view of Cleveland from the lake was beautiful. There are four Tiki Barges of different sizes. Note that the smallest boat doesn't go out on the lake. The different building styles were nice to see. Then we cruised the Cuyahoga River, which was amazing with its turns. The barge people will help the disabled down the few stairs, even for a person in a wheelchair.

I was in a tour group of 3 other people who were also from Cleveland. I was the only one who had…read moreridden a Segway before. The guide/owner took about 30 minutes giving an intro/lessons which made the time we were with him be 90 minutes versus the 60 I was planning on. The tour part (60 minutes) was more of just a ride, but I enjoyed it. We went all the way down to the Browns Stadium / Rock Hall and passed some parks and the Medical Mart construction by the Marriott. I just like riding Segways around so it was fun for me, but there was no narration which I missed having experienced it on all my other Segway tours I've taken. As a local I was hoping to learn about Cleveland more. (Perhaps he talks more on his 2 hour walking tours). He is a nice older gentlemen in business since 2007; from the few random facts he told us I'm sure he has much more to say. Regarding the booking process I recommend an online system or phone answering service. I had to change my booking date and had trouble getting him on the phone (understandable since he is the only one out on tours). While it all worked out in the end, I was worried that I wouldn't reach him on the phone before the 72 hours of his cancellation policy arrived. As for the tour price itself I think he is a bit pricy. I love Segway tours and have done them in various cities across America and comparatively his rates are high for the length of the tour especially since there is no narration. In most all other cases I have paid just $10 more for an entire extra hour of a tour (his rates are $55 for an hour and $60 on Saturdays). All in all I had fun and it's great that Cleveland has this on offer. I'd go again just for the fun of riding. In addition to the walking tours he offers sales and service. His office is located on the 3rd level of Tower City in the Sustainable Cleveland office across from the Hard Rock next to the Ritz. He probably won't be there when you get in as he'll be on a tour but just wait and he'll come around - he arrived on time for my tour.

We purchased a Groupon for Cleveland Segway Tours and had to cancel our pre-scheduled trip due to…read morework conflicts. We asked the owner if we could change the date prior to purchasing the groupon and he said it was no problem. We STILL have not been able to get a hold of him and this occurred back in the summer. We payed for the tickets and he refuses to return our call for us to reschedule. I would NEVER recommend anyone purchasing tickets to do this tour. Although it could have been a really awesome opportunity, you will likely be scammed out of your money and time (according to other reviews). Absolutely not worth the risk as we were out nearly $60!

The Great Lakes part was slightly unpleasant for my sea sick prone self, but the river portion was calm and fun.

The first level is enclosed, the second is open air (but covered) and the third is totally open. The first floor bathrooms are a very pleasant surprise. The sinks have soap, water and dryer all built in and touchless. The mirrors even let you control the brightness. What a fun and pleasant surprise.
