Had an amazing day out with Mint Julep tours, our guide Luke was so very interesting and informative and Hilary was a great driver, they looked after us so well, right down to pre-trip communication to bottles of water for the journey - we felt really welcomed. Lynchburg was a great town and lots of good shops and restaurants then the actual visit to the Jack Daniel’s Distillery was super. We were given a fascinating tour by Debbie our guide who was so knowledgeable about the history. The tasting session was really fun too. Would definitely recommend this day trip if you are in Tennessee.
We enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide Hannah Grace, was really great and knew her stuff! It was all good except the steps for me. I made it, just let others go first. We would recommend it.
The tour was incredibly fun and my tour guide Kathy was extremely well informed and friendly. She was great with my great and hilarious. The whole tour was amazing and great!
GREAT TOUR AND EXPERIENCE!! Bob H. was our driver and he did more than just get us from point A to point B. He was informative, charming and a safe driver. He provided so great tidbits and a lot of information both on the 90 minute drive and the 90 minute return. He provided some great suggestions not only when you are in Lynchburg, but also in Nashville and in between and afar. The tour itself was GREAT! I believe the value was worth it to really understand the history of this brand and the whisky itself. The passion the distillery carries is something I have never seen, and I have had the privilege to do a few brewery, wine and other tours that are similar, and this was really well done! I highly recommend it, and if possible ask to be with Bob H.
Bob H (mint julep experiences) was great!! Quite the storyteller - JD tour (Matt) was awesome, grounds beautiful & employees great. Ride out & back from Nashville felt a little long but manageable
Incredible tour that gives you the history of Jack Daniel’s and a close-up look at the process of making whiskey—plus a tasting! Our tour guide Matt was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable!
We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The tour was great and our guide Jon T, well he was funny and did a great job. He was very knowledgeable, made the tour so much better. Also had the taste testing. I did not participate but it was a nice setup. I would recommend for a day trip.
Great day out! Our minibus driver and guide for day, Howard, was very knowledgeable. Timings worked well. The Jack Daniels tour and tasting with Jacob was a fantastic experience we loved every minute!
The tour was awesome, highly recommend, however being told by our driver that you would be left behind if you weren't back on the bus when he said was a little disheartening. We did lunch first, our tour ran late, no restroom stop before heading back because we would of been late to bus. Definitely do tour first
I took a guest on the "A Day With Jack" tour and we had a delicious lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's with our small tour group and our guide, HG, and local historian, Mike. Their introduction to the history of the distillery and the boardinghouse was entertaining and enlightening. After lunch HG led us on a walking tour around the Lynchburg Square. Following that was a walking tour through the entire distilling process. HG was informative and patient with all our questions. During the tasting portion of our visit, HG shared a thorough knowledge of the products we tasted. The gift bag and framed photo commemorating our trip were pleasant surprises.
