I NEVER write online reviews, but after our experience with BBT this past Friday, I just felt compelled to! We had an awesome day!
To preface, I had done an all-day bourbon trail tour with another very well-known tour group about 3 years ago and had a good experience. I reached out to them, BBT, and one other company. I chose BBT this time around because the owner, Melanie, was the first to respond to my inquiry, and her prices were competitive. She was easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable, and very prompt in all of her responses. Additionally, we were a very diverse group of friends with varying levels of appreciation of bourbon, so I left it up to Melanie to create the best itinerary for us. And she exceeded our expectations, it was perfect for us!
Our driver, Mark, was awesome! He, too, was very knowledgeable, funny, and easy to talk to. He kept us on time, without feeling rushed, and was able to get us to a 4th distillery to try some cocktails! He seemed to know everyone everywhere we went, and always introduced us to his friends. He went out of his way to point things out or show us things he thought we would take interest to.
The van was very clean and stocked with lots of drinks, snacks, and treats which were welcomed!
Melanie suggested we try Watch Hill Proper for dinner after our tours. This is a must do! Mark drove us there after our last distillery, waited for us to have dinner, showed us some cool things about the restaurant and then drove us back to our AirBnB. Highly recommend ending your tour here!
I have already recommended BBT to friends, and would only book with them in the future! Melanie and Mark were terrific. I have only good things to say about the whole experience! Thank you, BBT!
