We had such a great time on our brewery-hopping trip in Wilmington, North Carolina! Riding around in the 1972 VW Bus was an absolute blast — the van was super cool and made the whole experience feel extra special. The weather was perfect, and Racheal, our host, made everything even better. She was friendly, fun, and made us feel right at home from the moment we hopped in. We visited some awesome breweries, enjoyed great drinks, and laughed the entire way. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and one of those days where a good time was truly had by all. Highly recommend!

Rachel was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. This was an awesome experience that combined two of my husband’s favorites-classic Volkswagens and beer to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! We had a blast! We would definitely recommend!

It was a guys day trip on a fun family vacation. The VW bus is immaculate and while we were there at the hottest week of the year, the bus was equipped with a small misting fan that made the travel comfortable. It is a good way to experience local breweries in the Carolina Beach / Wilmington area.
Totally recommend/ a cool and unique experience to travel around Wilmington and see the nightlife.

We had an amazing time with Rachel! She picked up our bachelorette group right at our door and made sure we got the most out of our three-hour tour. Rachel quickly picked up on our vibe and took us to the perfect breweries and spots that suited us. Every stop was fantastic, and we even got to enjoy some great food along the way. Plus, we connected our music to the speaker and jammed out between each stop. She also made sure we got pictures with the van! Highly recommend!
Great timr

We had Rachel and her awesome bus for a friends/family birthday party and had such a great night! We picked the places we stopped at and had plenty of time at each. Rachel was so nice and had absolutely everything perfect for us. The VW was so cool and Rachel had ice, waters, snacks a Bluetooth speaker and a disco light! She dropped us at the door and came in each place and sat with us. Rachel is so fun and knowledgeable about the great Wilmington stops. I strongly recommend Rachel’s VW tour for your next night out with friends, or a big day in the Wilmington area. We will be back! Thanks you so much Rachel!
Fun way to bar hop!!
