Whiskey tour - Great your. And learned a lot. Ryne told interesting stories and I didn’t realize the history behind Jack Daniels. Wow!

Bootleg & Barrels Tour - I purchased the Bootleg & Barrels tour for my boyfriend’s birthday and he loved it! Ryen, our tour guide, was awesome! We learned so much about the history of whisky. He was so informative and we loved each and every story from the first bar to the third. If you can book with Ryen you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Ryen for such an awesome time. We really do appreciate all you did to make our experience special and fun.

Canceled on us- Speakeasy tour nothing to write home about - 90 minutes before our tour was supposed to start, they canceled our tour because they had just found out there was a private event at one of the stops. Seems like they could have caught that earlier or just skipped that stop, but they paid for a couple flights of whiskey to make up for it. They bumped us to the “Speakeasy” tour later that day (below). Plan for the tour to be $60-$80 on top of each ticket to cover your drinks. Not a review about the bourbon anymore but part of our experience: turns out “Speakeasy” = a true crime and ghost stories tour, with a stop at a few speakeasies in downtown Nashville. Name was very misleading. Tour guide was whatever, he had a fun attitude but honestly he was all over the place with his talking points. The places we stopped at were enjoyable with a cool atmosphere. Really enjoyed Nashville Barrel Co, and it looks like that’s a stop on the Bourbon tour too. I wouldn’t recommend the Speakeasy tour to someone visiting Nash in the future, and I wish I had just gotten my refund and spent my time and money elsewhere.

A ripoff - Very disappointed with the follow service. Booked this trip thinking it was a tour to a distillery. Due to a time change on the part of the operator of the tour, I was informed that the "walking tour and history of distilleries in Nashville" would take place later in the day. I emailed the individual that my wife cannot walk great distances and we needed to cancel. I requested a refund of $70 to my cc but got no response. Got home and found the $70 charge and filed a dispute since we never did take this tour. Very poor customer service to be sure. PS I will remove this posting if the financial issue is cleared promptly.
