The most fun in a long time. Bus ride was very comfortable. Bus tour guide gave us the best experience. He made the hour ride go so quickly. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. JAY thanks for the singing, remembering our names and stories, plus great music! Jack Daniel’s distillery was extremely informative. A DAY WELL SPENT!

A Top Time With Tipsy Tours

David_C, Nov 2025

If you’re looking for the best way to start and end your JD distillery tour then don’t choose any other host than Jay and the Tipsy Tour team. They are fun , clever, hospitable and energetic to make the start and end to the trip the highlight of the day with interaction, personalisation and bags of fun….. plus music and liquor - what’s not to like !

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Woohoo! Thank you!

Best tour of my life

Daniell_B, Nov 2025

Jay was amazing. I travel a lot and have done multiple tours and this is one of the best tours I have ever taken, plus the BBQ lunch included. Our favorite was Jay, he kept us entertained from the minute we got on the bus to when we got dropped off. Trivia, music, introductions. Worth every penny.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Wow! Thank you for the kind words!

It was a great trip!! ...

The best Ever

Khadijah_E, Aug 2025

Very Good . The Best that I have been on. I enjoy ever bit of it. The drive was good. Jack place was good.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you, Khadija! It was our pleasure to have you.

Our tour was cancelled and you forgot to tell us.

Ramona_d, Jun 2025

Tour was cancelled and I never received a cancellation notiice from Viator or Tipsy tours. We showed up at meeting place and I had to call tipsy tours to find out the tour had been cancelled. I was told I would be getting a full refund.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We are so sorry you had this experience and this is not indicative of Tipsy Tours. Our entertainer is sick, so we initiated the cancellation with Viator early Friday morning, as well as sent a message to the customer via the Viator messaging option. We will be following up with Viator to understand why they did not notify you immediately. We truly hope you were able to salvage the day.

Get your ass up and go!

Loretta_M, Nov 2024

Our group of friends (ages 35-45) recently went on a girls' trip, and I can't emphasize enough how impressed we were with every aspect of our experience on Tipsy Tours! From start to finish, the level of punctuality, professionalism, politeness, humor, and pure TALENT was top-notch. Jay and his wife run this tour, and they do an absolutely phenomenal job. The journey to the distillery is far from boring—Jay has an incredible voice and is a talented musician, making the drive entertaining and enjoyable. Once we arrived at the distillery, the tour was informative, entertaining. We were all blown away by the story of Mr. Jack Daniel and his incredible legacy. The entire tour gave us a new-found respect for whiskey. After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious meal at BBQ Caboose, serving up traditional Southern comfort food, exactly what we needed after a day of tasting whiskey. The pulled pork was out of this world—tender, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. I highly recommend Tipsy Tours! You won't be disappointed!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hey Loretta! It was awesome having y’all with us for the day. You girls had so much energy and were ready for fun from the moment we started. Thank you for the kind words!

Excellent!!!!

Christopher_M, Nov 2024

This is a fantastic experience. The ride to the distillery is more than half the fun! We sang, danced and told stories the whole way. Highly recommended. So much fun AND we learned a ton about the Jack Daniel distillery…and, of course, the tasting was delicious.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Chris! You da man! We really enjoyed having you all today. Thank you for the kind words!

It was comfortable

Katherine_N, Oct 2024

A part of me wanted to gate-keep this company and tour but it was too amazing to not share. Jay and Katie are fabulous. Jay was hilarious, talented and made the quick drive to Jack Daniels fun and entertaining. While they just transport you, it was so much fun there and back. I rode along with my 80- something parents and they had a great time too!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for the kind words!

A "Jack" of a good time!

NORMA_C, Oct 2024

Well of course the ride there and back! Getting us all talking was great. Made many new friends! Most of us ate lunch together it was fun to sit together and chat.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hey Norma! It was great having Lisa, Chrissy, and yourself. You three were a lot of fun!

Horge and la llorona

jorge_b, Sep 2024

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Amy_T, Sep 2024

Jay & Matt were excellent!! We had the best time!! We would totally book this again and recommend it to anyone that!!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thanks for the kind words, Amy. We had such a great time with you all!

Fun, Seamless, Enjoyable

Patrick_A, Sep 2024

Jay and his Wife really made this experience so much better! The tour is a bit of a way out of Nashville (Hour and a half drive) but the whole trip there was so enjoyable thanks to Jay and his amazing and fun personality. We really got to know the group doing the tour with us due to the icebreakers Jay had planned and that added to the overall enjoyment of the tour. This also helped make the commute not seem as long as it was. The logistics of the tour were also super easy to follow and was seamless. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something to do while in Nashville!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We are glad you enjoyed the day, Patrick. It also helps having great folks like yourself along for the ride!

Great experience

Stefan_C, Sep 2024

Great experience, Jay and Katie were amazing entertainers and there was never a dull moment, would definitely do it again

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you, Stef!

Tipsy Tours to Jack Daniel’s is the Way To Go

Michelle_W, Jul 2024

Jay and hot wife Katie were the best hosts on the Tipsy Tours to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. They made the hour and half ride there fur and interesting. The distillery tour was nice but expect to be outside for majority of it and going in mid summer it was HOT! The bbq lunch was at the local square nearby and it was fulfilling. Lots of gift shops but some were not so friendly as others. But over our experience with this excursion was nice.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you, Michelle!

Rose was an excellent...

Jasmine_R, Jun 2024

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Glad to hear you had a great time! Thank you!

Singing fun.

JeanneM_M, May 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our bus ride to the distillery was great all the singing and laughter was fun. Our lunch was delicious barbecue sandwich. Can't wait to go again someday.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Jeanne! It was great having the both of you with us. We are glad you had a great time!

Fun fun fun!!!

Darlene_N, May 2024

A great tour with insight into the local geography and people. Very knowledgeable about Jack himself. Would definitely recommend: Jay’s singing and guitar playing made the journey so much fun!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you, Darlene!

Fun Fun Fun! Definitely take the “lunch included” tour🎸

Robert_B, May 2024

Jay Darby of Tipsy Tours was amazing. He’s an accomplished musician and kept us entertained all the way to J.D. and back. Our tour guide at JD was also fun and very knowledgeable. And lunch at the Bar-B-Que Caboose was sooo good (true comfort food!).
