The transportation van was clean and comfortable. Tim is very personable and knowledgeable about the breweries. He started the tour out by explaining the "rules" of the tour but he did it with a good blend of humor and seriousness. We (the group members) were asked to introduce ourselves and tell what our favorite style of beer is. The tour consisted of visiting 3 breweries. The breweries were Evil Genius, Love City, and Triple Bottom. Tim did explain that the breweries are not always the same for each tour. At the first brewery, Tim explained the brewing process. While he was explaining the process we were given samples of four different beer styles. There was a pitcher of each style so, if someone wanted it, a refill of the sample was provided. When the sampling was done, we were given plenty of time to look at merch and use the restroom before driving to the next stop. At the second brewery, we were given another sampling of their beers. Because there was no need to explain the brewing process again, Tim provided a little history lesson of the brewery building. At this brewery we were also given french fries from the on site food truck. Once gain, we were not rushed and had ample time to shop and use the facilities. The third brewery was in walking distance from the second so there was no need to board the van. It was really nice weather so the block and a half walk was pleasant. The third brewery sampling followed the same format of the first two. The selection of beer was based on the groups stated preferences when we started. The beer samples and fries were all included in the tour cost. Obviously, any additional purchases (like full beer pours, mixed drinks, wine, or merch) were not included in the price of the tour. This was explained by Tim earlier in the tour. After we concluded at the third stop, we were taken back to the meeting location and we parted ways. I will do this tour again and I highly recommend it!

The pace of the tour didn't make you feel rushed. The amount for sampling was very reasonable. Do something different with a group when in Philly. Tim does not disappoint.

Went on a tour last night with a large group that filled the vehicle for a bar crawl. We were told…read moreto arrive early to sign the waiver (which we didn't do because it's hard to get 15 people in one place early ) so we filled it out once we were seated and then we were off! We made two stops. The first was to a restaurant/bar who didn't seem thrilled to see us (that's a different review though) and the second on South Street at Fat Tuesdays. Our tour guides were fun and very personable. The group had a great time and we finished at the same place we started, which just happens to be Big Ass Slices Bar and Grill so a friend and I grabbed a slice and a drink. I do wish that there were drinks or snacks provided on the vehicle. It would have made it more personal and enjoyable. The website doesn't share much in the way of details (I didn't know we could bring our own snacks/water). But despite that, great experience.

Myself and 4 gfs signed up for the old city pub crawl on Friday May, 26 at 6:15 and we had the bike completely to ourselves. The tour we picked started off at Silence Dogood's Tavern, where we got our stickers, pizza from Big Ass Pizza and a round. That pizza was awesome and so were the pizza tots! Our tour guides (Jess and Dominic I believe) were awesome and we'd definitely do this again. Tip definitely buy the individual tickets ! Not worth it to pay for the whole bike at $375. We all bought the individual for $31 each with 5 of us and we still had the bike to ourselves. Lucky break I guess.

So Tippler's Tour was a perfect chance for me to combine those two loves into one evening. I was in Philadelphia alone that night, waiting for my husband to get into town, so it was something social AND historical I could do alone. I'm only just reviewing this a year and change later, so here's what I remember: 1) The bars we went to were a mix of old and new. Mostly old, but one was a very new place where they made the beer in house (and we were taken to see the silos where it matures). It was nice to see the newer places where Philadelphians hang out after work, but it was amazing to be in the places where Philadelphians had been hanging out since colonial times. 2) The guides were extremely lovely and vivacious. One was a modern-era tourguide, and the other was a colonial-era tourguide. The modern guy described the fries at one bar as "so good, it'll make you wanna slap yo mama", and the colonial guy explained what a "tippler" is, and had us all yelling "hip hip HUZZAH!" in between bars. 3) City Tavern was the end of the tour, and drinking in the same place as the Founding Fathers? Awesome. The tour overall is a great deal - you get a historical tour, plus you get drinks and snacks in four Old City locations. I'm from L.A., so it worked out to L.A. prices with a free tour thrown in. Plus, you get buzzed, but not so drunk that you can't remember basic high school US history. If you're in Philadelphia with a free night, take this tour. You'll enjoy it,.

The pros: Our tour guide/bus driver, Don, was excellent. He seriously made the whole trip. He was so kind and helpful and fun loving, he was a great match for our group. The wine tour was excellent we had an extensive tour of the grounds and they make their wine. It was the best tour we got the whole trip. The brewery had corn hole which made a great activity as our day was winding down. The pub lunch was great and had choices for everyone. Cons: Definitely overpriced for "tasting tours" when out of the three places when we only got one real "tour". Pretty disappointed and we all wished we got actual tours of the distillery and brewery since that is what we paid for. We didn't get to stay at the winery very long or hang out before we had to leave-- we thought this was the best location out of all three.

It was time to celebrate a birthday in our group and we had some ideas; however, our first issue…read morewas transportation. Tastings and Tours has a well rounded program. We were able to take the train from Center City to Doylestown. At Doylestown, their driver - Linda (actually the founder) was there to greet us. Leading up to the planning of this event, we worked with Linda and had a very good experience. She knew the area, suggested eateries and talked about the country side. All this just added what I call "free extras" to the already low price. Plus there are shopping baskets, bottles of water, and storage cases for new wine while on your journey. This is a well thought out operation. We had a group of 5. Our biggest concern is who we would sit with on the bus; however, after the first stop everyone was loosened up (the first stop allows you to pour or own samples!) and the conversations just started rolling out. We had a great time and thanks to Linda for making it work out.

He even helped us switch our lunch plans so we wouldn't have to rush at the last winery. Throughout the day Lee was taking pictures of our group which were emailed to us a week or two later. I'm already trying to find an excuse to book another wine tour. I hope they start going to the Central Jersey wineries soon.

I had emailed and called several times before booking and he was very patient and accommodating. I was booking for an 8 person bachelorette party this past weekend. It was such a great experience. Joey was our driver and he was awesome!! He was right on time (even with me giving the wrong address sorry!). He was extremely knowledgeable and you could tell he had done this a bunch of times before. He handled all of the winery tastings, as he had our money. He went in ahead of us and made sure each winery was ready for us. He suggested where the best place to take pictures was. He took them all and sent me everything. The limo was great! We had a stretch SUV. It was very clean and we loved having the USB cord to use our own music. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone who just wants to have fun and not stress about a thing!! My only "issue" was the price was slightly higher than other companies... BUT, they set up everything with each of the wineries and I did not have to call which was a huge bonus for me. Thank you Mike and Joey for an amazing time!!! P.S. to anyone reading we went to Renault, Plagido, and Bellview wineries.

We would not have had such an enjoyable and educational time walking around this part of this City without him leading the way. He shared with us that he is a retired University professor and Philadelphia native. He loves this city and it showed! We learned about the history of one of the oldest markets in the US (over 100 years old) and sampled some items along the way. We also saw street art and learned more about the history of the City, William Penn's plan for a "utopian" type society and the legendary "curse of William Penn." The Penn statue on top of City Hall used to be the highest point in Philadelphia until the 1980's when the mayor alllowed skyscrapers in. The legend goes that after that, all the Philly sports teams had a losing streak until a worker on one of the new tallest buildings added a mini statue of Penn to the top, then the teams started to win again. On our tour, we sampled... Sesame seed sprinkled fresh bread (with no preservatives) Italian cookie drizzled with chocolate. Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Fig Vinegar and Coconut flavored White Balsalmic Vinegar Special cheese (can't remember the name) coupled with spiced cashews Fresh (made today) Tortilla chips and fresh tomato salsa from a shop where the owners are from Central Mexico Mandarin orange from the produce stand Plus we got 10% off when we purchased additional items at the vendors we passed for being on the tour.
