“Good value tour. There were several time departure options. We were able to get two slots on the 9:00am departure from near the Omni Hotel and returned around 4:15pm that day. Frank the coach driver was fun and clear in his communication. Jacob on the Jack Daniels tour team was a gracious and knowledgeable guide. It was an interesting learning experience even if you’re not a whisky connoisseur. The tour ended with a whisky flight tasting. We then grabbed lunch in the town, Lynchburg (extra $). It’s an easy and fun day trip that still gives you the evening in Nashville, if you catch the 9:00am departure.”
