Fun with friends and our driver Ron.

Ron was so great. Very knowledgeable and easy going. We had a great time despite rainy weather. He was just the best. Would do it every time we came to the region.

Awesome beer tour

We had a great day touring the breweries near lake Canandaigua. Our driver, Gary was friendly and knowledgeable and made it a pleasant experience. We enjoyed all of the breweries and would definitely do it again. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area who loves beer and trying different microbrews.

We were lucky enough to have Gary all to ourselves on this tour. He was great. He gave us local information about the area, as well as the beer.

Family reunion

We booked a tour for 10 family members and were picked up and dropped off at home. Our excellent and patient driver was Jim, and the day was perfect. We toured Heron Hill, Hunt Country, and Doctor Konstantin Frank. The last was most educational but all sites were lovely: bring cameras! Beautiful green hilly settings, blue lakes, fine wines, and July weather offered pleasure all around. Snacks are available to add to the tastings; we added a few we brought from home. At day's end we caught some rain, but the bus was comfortable and safe. Crush did a great job for us!

Great Tour

We did this back in November 2019. We visited 4 breweries (Naked Dove, Three Huskies, Twisted Rail and Twin Elder). Naked Dove was nice to visit since it was there anniversary and were able to try out some special beers. Three Huskies always has some sort of decent IPAs on draft. We ate lunch at 3 Huskies and the food was awesome. Twisted Rail and Twin Elder were okay. Nothing special. The tour was great and unfortunately I can't remember the lady who drove us around. She very pleasant and a joy to talk to.
