Four breweries is a little too much. 4 beer flights each stop. Lunch was great.
Husband and I went with Ron Smith as our host. We could not have asked for a better host. He was on time pleasant professional and very informative about the area. Great day great time great host. Thank you
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and for the five stars. Ron will be so pleased to know his friendliness and guidance helped make the experience special. We look forward to welcoming you both back for many more tours in the future!
Wonderful guide, and excellent variety of beers to sample in picturesque venues. Lunch was excellent as well
Hello, Thank you so much for the five star review. I'm glad you enjoyed your experience with us in the Finger Lakes! Please call on us again.
My sister planned this brewery tour for my bachelorette party and all I can say is it was everything I could have dreamed of and more! Our tour guide, Darryl, and his trainee, Allan, were hands down THE best and made this brewery tour one for the books! Darryl’s experience and expertise was evident from the moment he picked us up! He welcomed our loud group of ladies with open arms and made this experience so fun! I would recommend him as a tour guide to any and everyone! He does not disappoint! I absolutely loved the breweries included on the tour but would probably not return to Fall Street Brewery with a large group again. The food and beer were good but the venue was a little too small for a large group! Overall - I will definitely be returning for another tour!

Hello! Thank you for the review. I'm glad you had fun with Darryl and Allen. Please call on us again for another tour in the Finger Lakes!
The tour was wonderful! Our tour guide Darryl truly made the experience so much fun! He made sure we got all of the group photos we wanted to take. He was upbeat, kind, and an absolute blast! Trainee Alan drove us to each destination and got us there safely and on time throughout the tour and was so nice. The breweries were gorgeous and relaxing with beautiful views We can't wait to book another tour with Crush, and we will definitely be requesting Darryl to be our guide again next time!

Deb was awesome. She has a great knowledge of the area and its history. She didn’t rush us at all and was just great. I highly suggest using crush. Especially if you have a group of 4 or more.
