“If I were rating solely on the tour day, this is 5 stars. Our guide was incredible—personable, on time, and very accommodating. She really made the day by taking us to extra spots and keeping the energy high. The stops at Castle & Key and Jeptha Creed were particular highlights. I am knocking off one star for the "heartache" of getting there. Expect busy phone lines, slow responses to messages, and last-minute changes to pickup locations and vehicle descriptions. It felt a bit disorganized until the moment the van actually pulled up. Pro Tip: Don't panic if you do not hear back right away. The tour is worth the wait,…”

“We had a great time exploring Breckenridge on this bike tour with our guide Chris. We made several short stops along the route where Chris shared some Breckenridge history and tips. We were lucky to bike a short bit in the snow which was super fun! I enjoyed the stop at Breckenridge distillery - we were able to enjoy some sample (I chose the Pear vodka and also the rum). Our final stop was at Broken Compass Brewery - loved this place, great variety and some lovely doggos to pat. Thanks Chris, we had a great afternoon.”

Review of Nashville’s 3-hour distillery and brewery bus tour, with 9 to 12 tastings, local guides, transport, stops, and booking advice.

“This was one of the best ways to familiarize ourselves with a culture and get a feel for the city! Our driver Jimmy couldn’t have been any better. Professional and personal made us feel quite comfortable. Every tasting we had something to offer and we got a real feel for Nashville! I highly recommend this tour. The hospitality at The Green Light bar started off the trip and we had some of the best hush puppies and barbecue chicken sandwich to get the party going. PJ at the Nelson distillery was excellent and gave a wonderful tour in the history of the company. Great location definitely would recommend the whiskeys…”
