The Anti-Tour: Why a Flexible Hourly Charter Is the Best Way to Crawl CT’s Breweries

DIY beer tour Let’s be honest: Connecticut has some darn good  craft beer, but lets be honest; being the sober, designated driver kinda stinks!

At Connecticut Beer Tours, we offer custom trips that coordinate itinerary, food, drinks and even a tour guide. We stick to a rigid schedule and are in-your face every step throughout the day. But what if you don’t want that type of experience?

That is exactly why we launched our DIY Flat-Rate Hourly Chauefeur Service. For just $80 an hour, your group gets a premium, private 5-passenger vehicle and a dedicated professional driver completely at your disposal.

When you split a 6-hour day between 4 or 5 friends, it breaks down to roughly $80 to $100 per person. You get a luxury door-to-door experience, a safe ride home, and total control over your schedule for a fraction of the cost of a traditional limousine package.
