This was a great experience. The Premier Distillery & Craft Brewery Bus Tour was just as the title says…premier! Our guide, Tyler, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable of the places we stopped and also of the area. So he gave us some great tips on other places to go and visit while we were in town.

    We had an awesome experience and our guide Joe was great, will definitely return and recommend to others

    Outstanding tour with an incredible guide!

    Stephen_R, Jun 2026
    My wife and I took the 3-hour distillery and brewery tour with 'Ville Tours, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Nashville! From the very beginning, our guide, Joe, was fantastic. He reached out the day before with clear, easy-to-follow instructions for our meetup and was incredibly punctual. We actually ended up being the only ones on the tour that day, but Joe didn't rush a thing. He truly took his time showing us around town and customized the experience to our specific drink preferences. Joe is incredibly easy to talk to, full of great stories, and has an awesome sense of humor. The ultimate highlight was when we stopped in the Marathon Village district, Joe actually took the stage at one of the spots, grabbed a guitar, and sang a song for us! If you want to see the sights of Nashville while sampling some excellent local drinks, we cannot recommend this tour enough. Thanks again for an unforgettable afternoon, Joe!

    Great tour - great whiskey and brewery stops.

    Fantastic! Super friendly! Swade was a fantastic host and super knowledgeable! Highly recommend for a local guided tour of Nashville with the best breweries and distilleries!

    Awesome Adventure!

    Craig_M, Oct 2025
    Very seldom do you get a tour guide with both a personality and professionalism like Tyler. Highly recommend!!!

    Not worth it. Go to a real distillery outside town.

    Michael_L, Sep 2025
    Nelson's Green Brier Distillery is not on this tour. You get one whisky place, Nashville Barrel Company. It's a place that curates and bottles from various places. Jack was a charming and friendly and nice tour guide. The pourer/guide at Nashville Barrel company was John and he was snobby, arrogant, passive-aggressive and pushy. Did not purchase because of that. Microbrew and moonshine places was so-so. Big Machine Brewery and Distilling was great! Super good vibe with live music. Too bad it was only cocktails! That's a place worth visiting/staying.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Checking out the spirits of Nashville

    Neal_S, Sep 2025
    This tour was perfect for what we wanted to try out a diverse offering of the spirits, cocktails and breweries in nashville. Jack was a great tour guide, he knew all about the places we were going and gave us the 411 on each of them while we were en route. Got to try everything from barrel aged bourbon, moon shine, to good local craft brews. Being with the group, we got ushered to the front of the lines, so it was a great way to navigate through the crowds. Would highly recommend.

    Great time!!

    Janice_A, Sep 2025
    Plan on drinking a lot! Great time!!! Jack was awesome! It wasn’t crowded at any bar we went to! Didn’t have to rush!

    Not Necessarily a Tour

    susanmills240, Sep 2025
    I probably should have done more research. This is not really a “tour” as much as a bus that dropped you at a few places. I could have done that on our own. I wish we would have heard more about how they make the bourbon, the history, etc. Just a little misleading.

    Amazing overall experience. Shoutout to our tour guide, Jack, for making it an awesome time! He's very knowledgeable about the distilleries and breweries and shared some local tips.

    Great trip!

    Samantha_G, Aug 2025
    Our tour guide Jack was awesome! Taught us a bunch of facts about the origins of hot chicken and IPAs - that we fact checked and he was correct. 😂 Stopped at a bunch of spots we wouldn’t have found otherwise.

    Must try!!

    Alaina_H, Feb 2025
    Jimmy was amazing!! He is super friendly and knowledgeable about his city! Took us to some great spots! We went back to greenbrier after the tour was over and bottled our own burbon! It was a great birthday experience for us both!

    Great introduction to Nashville

    Annette_S, Feb 2025
    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 here. Check it out online.

    Great tour and tour guide

    Azia_H, Dec 2024
    Joe was really cool he was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. He showed a lot of really cool spots to us.

    Fun whisky your

    Judy_G, Nov 2024
    We had a great tour with Swade as our guide. He made adjustments when we realized we needed some food to absorb the delicious whiskey. We learned a lot about Tennessee whiskey and how to properly drink it. Swade also shared interesting areas of Nashville and gave some great recommendations for our visit.

    Amanda, Amy, Dillonnand Jimmy were GREAT!!!

    Anna_S, Nov 2024
    Learning LOTS about the processes in maiking the whisky and beer. The other guests were great! Overall fabulous day!

    Doing an extra tasting not scheduled as our driver had us ahead of our schedule for the trip. The first two places were ok

    GREAT TIME

    GaryDomond, Aug 2024
    Had an amazing time with the store we were paired up with a good group of people at our guys were amazing. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to do a distillery tour in Nashville 10 out of 10.

    Interesting and a good time!

    Tracy_J, Aug 2024
    I have nothing but good things to say about the company and our guide, Jimmy! They were very accommodating since it turned out we were the only couple booked on the tour. We got to see parts of Nashville we had not seen before which was great. The history of the Nelson distillery was very interesting and it was a beautiful place. We got to sample moonshine at another spot and finished with some beers overlooking the baseball stadium. The tour was perfect and I would recommend it to anyone coming to Nashville.

    Amazing!

    Leonard_G, May 2024
    All three of our visits were great! Especially Fat Bottom (Amy) and Nelson’s Greenbriar Isaias (sp). Our guide, Shawn (sp) was a highlight.
