Clay was great and is a tremendous wealth of knowledge about Birmingham. Clay picked us up at our hotel so we did not have to drive anywhere. Clay kept us informed about pick-up times via text and texted us the morning of the tour to make sure we were comfortable with the arrangements. On the tour, we started at Railway Park and learned about the layout of Birmingham including many of the local landmarks. This was a welcomed introduction to the city. We then headed to the breweries. At each of the three breweries, we got to try four different beers. Clay was able to describe the history of the brewery and tell us about their specialties and unique beers. Clay ask for our feedback on the beers at each and used that information at the next brewery. We had a great time, with great conversation. It was like going to each of the breweries with an old friend.

What a time we had! Just finished a girls night out with the Eat Drink Ride Food tours. It was soo…read moremuch fun and so worth the cost. We had a total of five stops to taste food, dessert and drinks. First stop was The Seafood King located in Lakeshore. We had a sample of the seafood basket which included shrimp, sausage, corn cob and a potato. Nice taste. Not over seasoned or under. Just right. It was a nice sample of some of the food they offer. Second stop was Jake's Soulfood in Hoover. We took a quick picture by Comedian Joys cutout then proceeded to sit for our food tasting. We had fried chicken, mac n cheese, cornbread and rice with beans. The chicken was cooked fresh and I personally would have liked a little more seasoning on the chicken but that's my preference. It was still good and so was the mac n cheese. This is when I started getting full. I did take the food I couldn't finish from Jake's home. Third stop was The Whole Scoop also located in Hoover. We were treated with a cone or bowl of ice cream (one scoop) of any flavor they had. The options were plenty. Our guide did advise us not to get vanilla, chocolate or strawberry because we can get those anytime. We needed to explore new flavors. I did... I got the dark chocolate raspberry truffle (I think that was the name). It was delicious and was a nice break from eating food. Yummy Then we traveled to Trussville and stopped at La Calle. We had tacos there. Nice spot and the tacos are authentic. They have a taco bar where you can additional toppings or get sauces. Our last stop was Corbeau Wine Bar. I have wanted to visit them for a while and now was my chance. We had a wine sample then had a quick tour of the wine bar concept. It's pretty amazing because you can sample as many wines as possible (for a fee and depending on the ounces). A great way to try before you commit to buying a full bottle of wine. The price points were reasonable. Overall a great fun experience with friends with cool music playing while we traveled. We danced some and sang along to a few songs. This is definitely an experience you should try.

Imagine my surprise when I got on the bus and my friends were on there. Joy wasn't our hostess this time. Tiffany was the hostess and she did a great job. Most of the restaurants we stopped at were new to me, which I loved! I like being able to try new places. We ate, drank, danced, and laughed! I was so caught up having fun that I didn't take many pictures and videos. At midnight, we had a toast to the new year of 2022! I definitely recommend you give this tour bus a try!

He called it the 3 divas of the Louvre. Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and the Mona Lisa. He explained many bits of information on each of these most impressive sites. Things that you cannot know from just any tour book or even some guides. Undoubtedly this was the best tour I've ever had, and this location called for it. We were told that if you spent 1 minute at every exhibit in this museum, it would take you over a month to see everything. What a great place this is. A place where history has stopped and tells you a story. The art is unbelievable. The status are amazing. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring. I absolutley loved the experience of being at the Louvre. Even with a map, you will be surprised at what you find around the next corner. You could spend a whole day here and go around the world and so far back in time that it doesn't seem real. I recommend getting a tour from a reputable company. It will make a huge difference in your experience.

REVIEW OF RARE TRANSPORTATION Event dates APRIL 26-28, 2019…read more It has seemed prudent to wait awhile before posting a review of my experience with Rare Transportation. The first draft was admittedly something of a rant; now that I have heard comments from our visitors and have had time to allow the entire episode to settle, I am ready to post. I selected Rare Transportation for our needs because it appeared to have the largest fleet of buses, and because other groups seem to have been quite pleased with Rare Transportation. In the beginning I felt that Peyton understood our needs and wanted to see that those needs were met. By the time the event happened, it was clear that was not the case. It is with regret that I cannot recommend it. There is a laundry list of complaints about the performance of the drivers and managers. Here I will mention only the most egregious one: no bus came to Embassy Suites Saturday morning to take people to the Botanical Gardens, in spite of a signed contact which included that responsibility. Peyton got mad at me because I pointed out various deviations from the agreed plans for Friday, and he vented his anger by cancelling the Saturday morning shuttle, with no notice to me of cancellation. That is simply not acceptable or professional. If anyone wants specifics on other problems, you may contact me. I can point out a number of details which bear watching, though there is no guarantee that they would be handled properly. It gives me no pleasure to post a negative review of any business. The event was a time to showcase Birmingham at its best; Rare Transportation's performance was an embarrassment. Alleen Cater alleenc@bellsouth.net 205-862-7179
