5.00What a fun and educational experience! My husband and I enjoyed our walking history tour in February so much with Russ as our guide, we couldn't wait to return with friends for the Bourbon and Whiskey Tour. Everyone especially enjoyed the St Augustine Distillery private tour. Thanks for a great day Russ!

5.00Had a fabulous time on this tour with Russ as our guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a deeper appreciation about bourbon and the opportunity to taste some outstanding ones, an interesting walking tour around St. Augustine, as well as some great food at local restaurants. If you're hesitant about booking - please don't be. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we felt like it was well worth the money spent. Looking forward to repeating the tour again.

5.00This was an amazing experience! Russ and Patrick were awesome - Patrick's enthusiasm is contagious and Russ has extensive knowledge of the area/history. They both know so much about bourbon! We learned so much and had a great time - would recommend to anyone with even a passing interest - great way to spend a few hours in St. Augustine! Tip: make sure you have food in your stomach before those first bourbon tastings - lol!
Fun with Bourbon!

5.00My wife and I went on this tour. I like the brown water, she not so much. That being said we both had a blast. Great tour overall with history facts I had never heard as being a local of 25 yrs. Being able to pull my own whiskey was just not in my bingo card. Everyone on the tour seemed to really have a great time and if you get Russ he will absolutely become your new best drinking buddy.
A Fun, Tasty and informative Tour

5.00It was just my husband and I on this tour , which meant we got a very personalized experience with our guide Russ. He was amazing. Very knowledgeable about bourbon, local history, and all that St. Augustine has to offer. Very personable and with a great sense of humor as well. Not to mention, he was very safety conscience.As we walked on the busy streets. If you do one of these tours, for sure ask for Russ. He even made small adjustments to the tour to accommodate our interests. His follow-up email telling us every place.We went what we drank and where to consider eating in the future was really helpful. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had a good time. Would highly recommend.
