We charge $599 for four hours, and this price includes everything but gratuity and anything spent at your stops.

Additional hours over the first four are $99 per hour.

We offer our buses for private rentals. With the private rentals, we pick you up wherever you’d like and take you wherever you’d like to go, and the bus is yours exclusively.

Booking can be accomplished online through this website. Just go to the page and click on one of the ‘BOOK NOW’ buttons for your choice.

A calendar screen will come up. Choose your date (if available).

For private rentals, choose your pickup time. For public tours, click the button under the ‘BOOK HERE’.

Answer the simple questions that follow regarding your booking.

You’ll need a credit card to reserve, but we don’t charge it until the week of the trip.

We charge your card during the week of your trip and NOT when you book. We’ve found that this is what most people are happy with.

For private rentals, you’re paying from the time we arrive at your pick up point until the time that we drop you off.

It does NOT start when the driver leaves the bus storage, as it doesn’t seem fair to us to charge you for our drive time. However, there may be a nominal charge for pickups out of the central Indiana area.

You can pay for extra hours if you need it.

It covers our costs for the driver, gas, and the bus itself. It doesn’t cover anything you might spend at the stops we make, including any tasting fees. It also doesn’t cover any gratuity to the driver that you may want to make.

We don’t have any hidden fees, like an extra charge for gas or the driver. If the pickup or your route is outside of our normal area, we may charge you a little bit more due to the extra distance and time

This means that we drive from place to place. The establishments used to give physical tours of their facilities, but they’re just too busy to offer them anymore. Sometimes we get lucky and they offer a tour of their processes, but unfortunately that has become rare.

If you feel that your driver served you well, he/she would definitely appreciate a tip!

Industry standards suggest a 20% (or higher, if you’d like) gratuity to your driver.

If you need to cancel, please do so at least 36 hours before your trip. Plans are getting solidified by that time.

If your credit card gets declined, please make other payment arrangements prior to your trip.

There is a question during the booking process called ‘Notes for Top Shelf’. If you’d like, you can put your requests or anything else you’d like us to know in there.

During the online booking process on the window that pops up that asks for credit card information, there is a place to enter promo codes in a light blue font. Click on the “Click here to redeem a Gift Card / Promo Code” line and another box should appear.

This is very difficult for us to do because people usually want a specific time to be picked up and dropped off, then picked up again at a certain time. This means that the bus and the driver would have to remain idle during the gap and we wouldn’t be able to provide our services to anyone else during the idle time. It becomes a problem logistically, so we really have to keep to four-hour minimums on the bus rentals. Call us for specific needs and we might be able to come up with a solution.

Snacks are welcomed, as a lot of the breweries, wineries, and distilleries don’t serve food.

Alcohol can be consumed on the bus, but please remember that the breweries, wineries, and distilleries allow us to stop by so you’ll purchase their drinks.

We have had complaints from our tour stops that our riders are sometimes too drunk when they arrive, so we must restrict hard liquor on the bus on brewery, winery, or distillery tours.

Also, remember that you CANNOT drink any alcohol once you get off the bus at one of our stops. Not only does this make the breweries, wineries, and distilleries very upset, but it’s against the law. Please support them by buying their stuff.

Yes, we have driven many younger people to proms, birthday parties, and whatever else.

We don’t provide alcohol and we don’t check ID, so if a group of adults is on the bus with one or two people under 21 it’s ok. If the group ends up going to a venue that requires ID, those people will have to do something else in the meantime or hang out on the bus.

Currently, we have five buses that all fit 12-14 people, 12 more comfortably.

Sorry, we can’t under current Indiana law. You can bring your own or we can make a stop at a store for the private rentals.

Unfortunately, our license doesn’t allow us to go out of the state yet.

Unfortunately, we do not. Hopefully someday!

You can call 317-535-3535. Please leave a voice mail message if no one answers and we’ll get back to you. This number cannot receive texts.

You can send an email to customerservice@topshelf.tours. If you don’t get a reply, try again. We think there is something wrong with our email sometimes, but it’s intermittent and hard to figure out what’s wrong.

There’s also Facebook Messenger.
