10. Jack Daniels distillery tour with shopping and barbecue

Half-day tour to the Jack Daniels Distillery, Lynchburg square shops, and lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Restaurant, plus a whiskey tasting session.

“My wife and I decided to take this tour after our initial one was cancelled. Although it was more expensive than our first choice, the website looked appealing. We really enjoyed our driver Diane, who was fun, friendly, and went out of her way to bring a birthday cake for my wife. However, I was expecting a coach bus based on the website photos, but we received a mini-van instead. While the vehicle was clean and comfortable, it was not what we anticipated. Additionally, we assumed the Jack Daniels tour ticket would be included, as the site mentioned escorting to the check-in counter for the tour. For the cost of $350.00, I was taken aback that we were only provided livery service and had to cover all other expenses. I suggest the company clearly indicate that no additional services or tickets are part of the package and that vehicle changes may occur without notice. I checked directly with Uber, and it would have cost about $100 each way. The three-star rating doesn't reflect on Diane, who deserves five stars for her exceptional service. The rating pertains to the value compared to the advertised offerings; it feels misleading to label it a tour without included services. I recommend renaming it a livery service rather than "Jack Daniels Smooth Distillery Tours, Shopping and Barbecue."”— Willaim_D
