Carlo's, our driver, was fantastic. He brought the energy and his communication was phenomenal from the moment we booked up until the end of the tour. We got picked up downtown at Sunking which means after your beers. I did think we'd get a tour of a brewery but day drinking on a Saturday was great. Ash & Elm has great food options. It was our first time there and we loved it. Who knew cider was so flavorful. The seasonal ciders are a must! Garfield brewery was once an old gas station so the outdoor patio area is pretty neat. They have flights available as well. And kismetic,our last stop was also delicious. They don't offer food but have menus from cluster truck. The coffee beer was my favorite! All places to check out if you haven't been. I will definitely be back to each! read more

On Time. Great ride. Everyone had a blast. Driver was hospitable. Thanks for an awesome weekend

I took the bus to Rouff for a concert. I grabbed it on the Southside and my friends got on downtown and Northside. Carlos was amazing and a great driver. He even made sure we got in our cars and weee safe. I would 100% do it again. You can't beat the piece of mind and cost. read more

Given the current unfortunate climate of Lyft/Uber, my friend and I were looking for alternate transportation to Deer Creek for a Sunday eve. concert. We both had to work the next day, and after 20 years of concerts there we were not looking forward to an hour-plus "after party" waiting in traffic to get out of the parking area. We found TST totally by accident with a Google search for "shuttle to Ruoff". Essentially they run a fleet of very nice shuttle buses which offer multiple pick-up locations throughout the city. You pay online, then meet the shuttle at the pre-determined spot a few hours prior to the concert's start. We met our driver, Trey at the Broad Ripple Sun King parking lot. He was super friendly and had some tunes playing (radio was also Bluetooth-equipped if we wanted to run out own soundtrack). A cooler of cold bottled water was provided. We waited just a few mins and then were off to the next (last stop) to pick up a few more folks at Blind Owl Brewery. Total on bus was a comfortable 11 people. The ride was quick, we got there with plenty of time to spare (at least an hour), and the best part: the bus parked right near the entrance! Trey had some folding chairs and even games for us to play while some of us waited to go into the venue. Most on the bus chose to sit and chat with each other for a bit. We found out that TST's offers many different shuttle services, from sweet 16 parties to bachelorette events and winery/brewery tours. Trey waited with the bus and after the concert we were whisked right out, past all the sitting cars and back onto I-69. Don't forget to tip your driver before you leave. We were home safely in record time! As far as I'm concerned now, this is the ONLY way to go to a concert at Deer Creek (or anywhere else that requires a decent drive)! read more

I guess maybe the driver makes all the difference ? All the reviews who had a good experience seemed to actually have Rob (owner?) as their driver. We had someone else and felt totally lost and like this wasn't worth our money. The driver never came inside to tell us they had arrived at the pick up point, when we said hello he barely spoke back, and it only got worse from there. When we arrived at the first place he again didn't speak but opened the doors. Not even a "hey guys, we've arrived at St Jospeh Brewery!" Nope, nothin. Zero words. Zero instruction on what to do inside either. What's worse: the brewery had no idea we were coming, and no special for us. They basically told us to sit at the bar and buy drinks if we wanted. Why is this called a brew tour if we aren't getting anything more than a driver? No beer specials, no history of the area, no instructions .. We saw multiple other brew tours from other companies out who seemed to be having fun. I would recommend a different tour. Really all this was was a bus to drive us from point A to point B with no entertainment and no benefit at the breweries even. read more

Rented the tour bus for St. Patrick's day and had the best time! Our driver Rob was professional and accommodating to our change in bar stops. The bus is very comfortable and clean. The bus even had green led lights to celebrate! Highly recommend Top Shelf Tours and will use them again in the future. read more

We had a great time with this group. They were the only ones he would do 2 buses to bring our entire group. The buses were clean and good. Our driver was Rob and he did the job right. Kept us on schedule. Took us to some great breweries. No issues at all and would recommend these guys. read more

These guys are awesome! Showed up on time with a party bus for 12 of us going to the National Championship. My 85 year old mother required a handicapped wheelchair and it was 15 degrees out. He got us up front for the drop off and navigated major traffic to pick us up after the game with zero wait. Truly remarkable. Good stereo, hook up to our Iphone for tunes was easy, cool lighting, nice party bus. Carlos was our driver and he is off the chain, helped us with stocking coolers, ice, water, etc. Extraordinary service. Since our Dawgs won, we kept going to the wee hours of the night and Carlos had no problem in how late we stayed out. Everyone arrived home safe and happy. Very reasonable pricing relative to other transportation services. Truly Awesome. Thank you Carlos! A+++++ I very highly recommend using Top Shelf Tours! Scott Guenther Jan 10 2022 read more

We had a great time on our Fountain Square distillery tour! We picked the stops and they set everything up for us. All we had to do was board the bus and have a great time! Rob,the owner, responded quickly to any questions we had. Our driver,Carlos, was awesome! He made everything smooth and fun. He even took photos for us. read more

Best part of the 50th birthday celebration was the party bus rental with top shelf. Our driver, Tim, was punctual, kind, kept our destinations a surprise from the bday boy, and he was a good driver. We all enjoyed our time in the bus singing out tunes from the past (think Tim enjoyed our selection as well). We had so much fun that we will all be getting together and doing one of their brewery tours in the future. Top shelf = top notch read more

I see plenty of 5 star reviews, and I believe legitimately people have a great time on their brewery tours and party bus excursions. My 3 stars is about expectation of advertisement versus service sold. My group purchased groupons for the brewery tour, which says: "We're going to spend between 35-45 minutes at each brewery to allow you to not feel rushed at each stop. We want you to be able to sit back and enjoy your samples, then buy a pint of your favorites and refill your growlers while you're there." Based on that description, our group of four anticipated that samples would be part of the tour. Not (necessarily) so. Here's an overview of how the day went: We arrived at Sun King a little before noon. Our group inquired with the hostess if she knew anything about Top Shelf Tours or what to expect. She told us the driver would come inside, although I'm pretty sure she was just guessing. He didn't. Pretty soon a white bus showed up outside. After sitting there a few minutes, I went out and asked if he was our driver. Yep indeed. I said, "ok, I'll go back and tell our group." He said ok! Shortly after that, our group hopped on the bus along with 8 others. The driver gave us each a sticker to identify us as being a part of a Top Shelf Tours group. Cool. We thought that might mean something. It didn't, at least not in terms of a perk for us; more like advertising for them I think. The driver closed the doors, jammed to his music (good taste by the way), and drove us to our first stop: St. Joseph's Brewery. I'll review St. Joseph separately. Suffice to say: the bar tender looked at us, said he didn't know anything about our tour, but they don't do anything special for groups, and they wouldn't be offering samples to our group. We were welcome to "try something" if we wanted to, but nothing different than an average bar customer. Feeling a bit misled, I called Rob from Top Shelf Tours, and he told me that he keeps St Joseph on the tour list because of the neat architecture, and "it's hard to keep up with what each of the breweries will offer" to his tour groups. I quoted his website about "enjoying samples" and suggested he provide more of a description for truth in advertisement. Help your customers know what to expect. My crew's question at that point was: how will this tour be better than/different than us having crafted our own downtown circuit and Lyfted from one place to another? The consensus among the four of us was: not much. The driver texted us whenever we had ten minutes before the bus was supposed to head to the next stop. I poked fun with him via text, and he was a good sport. However, he really didn't know much about the breweries he was taking us to. On our way to the second brewery, someone asked him: "what's next?" He knew it was "center something... center line... center mark..." then everyone on the bus started chanting possible "center" names. It was Centerpoint, and they gave us one of the best experiences of the day. I'll review them separately, too. We got another "10 minute warning," and soon were escorted to Garfield Brewing, which was a smaller brewery more than happy to offer a nice group experience, and finally, we were taken to Two-Deep, who also knew we were coming and had a sampling experience ready for us. Here's my final take. Top Shelf Tours will provide a very nice shuttle service between breweries. I think it's very overstated as a "tour." The history of craft brewing in IN is super cool; it would have made an awesome tour if our driver knew something about the breweries, their histories, the kinds of beers they are known for, interesting facts about the architecture, and why Top Shelf thinks that the brewery is a worthy stop on their tour. Then again, I was thinking "tour." If you're not thinking "tour" and just want to go have a great time visiting multiple breweries, you will have fun. I mean, there is still plenty of good beer and food available (bring $), and if you like your friends, there's no reason you shouldn't have a great time. We did, but next time, we'd probably just Lyft. The bus was nice, but there were only 4 of us. We got our tickets off Groupon, so it wasn't a bad deal, just not what we had expected or really hoped for. read more

We used Top Shelf Tours to take a group of us to Luke Bryan Concert. It was a fabulous time. Trey our driver was awesome. He came prepared with games, extra lawn chairs and phone chargers. Lol. He was a great driver and so glad he put up with our craziness. Definitely recommend. We will use them again. read more

We rented a 4 hour private winery tour bus and our experience could not have been better! Carlos was our driver and was incredibly polite, respectful and thoughtful. He helped us stay on schedule but was so flexible when some construction altered our timeline. This was the highlight of the bachelorette weekend! I also had several conversations with the company owner, Rob who was equally as kind and helpful. 5 star service all around and I will certainly do a tour with them again! Thank you!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! I had the best birthday event with Top Shelf! First off Rob is the sweetest and most accommodating professional business owner I've worked with. He was very flexible in scheduling, very clear in his expectations for his business and his customers. Top shelf is known for their brewery tours but they also offer amazing party buses! Steve our driver was legit! Vote for Steve 2018! He went with the flow and chimed in on a few games to make it even more fun! Took us where we asked and drove smoothly and safely. Party buses fit 14-15 people, 14 comfortably. The bus is adorable & mad cute with big open windows with lights surrounded to grab spectators attention ;) Nice black couch with nice audio to play your jams. The downfalls to the bus is there is not enough places to put your alcohol or snacks or additional coolers. There are cup holders in between seats but if your bus is full, you won't be able to use them. There also is not place to hold on to while the bus is in motion over head so you'll have to have good balance lol. Besides that, Top shelf offers literally the best deal in town! You can't beat it really! Top Shelf's buses are not as modern or high tech equipped but was absolutely perfect for me! I will be back and so will friends and family. Thank you Top Shelf! read more

Great experience each time using Top Shelf Tours, this was our second brewery tour! Rob was very helpful and answered all of our questions when we set the time and places for the brewery tour. Tim was our driver on the tour and made sure we had a good time. We will definitely be using Top Shelf Tours again! read more

There is a group of us that (not always exactly the same people) have Top Shelf Tours take us for 4 hours. We have been going about twice a year. They are very accommodating and so easy to work with.

We loved our experience with Top Shelf tours! We rented a party bus for a bachelorette party and it was a blast! They were flexible with taking us to the different wineries we wanted to go to.

We had a great time on the Winery South 1 tour! Our driver/the owner Rob was very accommodating in allowing us to spend extra time at each winery and stopping for fast food. The wineries only sell crackers and cheese so I definitely recommend bringing a picnic lunch/dinner or ask him to stop as he did for us. Even the wineries were extra generous with their samples knowing we were on a tour and had a driver. You just sit back and relax in the very comfortable bus and sample away at each winery. It was fun talking to the other people on the bus as you shared in the experience. We will definitely be going on the other tours! read more

What a great company! We went and saw lights, went to dinner in Broadripple and ended up downtown! It was a FUN memorable night we all enjoyed and Top Shelf Tours was a MAJOR part of it. Will book them again. read more

Such a great experience! We had a group of girls celebrating a bachelorette party and the entire team was so accommodating! They helped us plan the different stops, kept us on time at each winery (which is pretty impressive when you have a group of chatty girls!) Our driver, John, was so friendly and made sure we were all having a great time - he even took candid pictures of us at the wineries and sent them so we had our day documented, it was such a thoughtful touch! Will definitely use Top Shelf again. read more
