We had an amazing day with Brian and Queen City Bourbon Cruise. He provided door-to-door service with a smile. The van was so comfortable and Brian was so patient with my mother who needed a walker. The tours of the different distilleries were set up perfectly and we did not have to wait, but walked right in to all tours. Brian even found a great small distillery for us to visit that was the perfect ending to our time. The recommended lunch restaurant was on point. We will definitely use Queen City Bourbon Cruise again!! We cannot recommend it highly enough.

Brian and his business are responsible for an unforgettable bachelor party weekend for me and my 7 best friends. I’m unbelievably glad that we found him, because the experience wouldn’t have been nearly the same without him. Not only was he extremely kind, responsive, and helpful in the planning process, he was a ton of fun throughout the weekend. “Bourbon Brian” (a name that we assigned to him) slowly showed off his amazing personality and robust knowledge of the Bourbon Trail over our two day trip. First, he was extremely gracious while driving through the traffic to the Kentucky Oaks during derby weekend. He dropped us right where we needed to be, and he even managed to remotely recommend drinks via text at lunch. He had clearly prepared the night before to identify the best parking spots and pickup/dropoff points. The following day, he took us to 3 distilleries – all cool experiences, which he made seamless with extremely organized reservations and his familiarity with the owners. The van was clean, new, and Brian took out the trash at every stop on the trail. There was WiFi available the whole time, so we could play music and stream video throughout the trip. If that wasn’t enough, Brian took it upon himself to take plenty of high quality photos of me and my friends. When asked, he bent over backwards to upload them online for the highest resolution quality. I’d recommend Brian and Queen City Bourbon Cruise to anyone. Amazing experience.

Our experience far exceeded our expectations! Brian was phenomenal in every way. He was timely, professional, super organized and was an expert at juggling things the day of. He was able to add a stop for us and showed us the most amazing distilleries. We had such a memorable day and we can’t stop smiling. We would recommend him 100 x over!
