Our group of nine... - Our group of nine visiting senior citizens was led by the very personable, knowledgeable and friendly Victoria and Monica. They took us around Bardstown to a handful of establishments we likely wouldn't have found on our own and a great time was had by all. A perfect mix of food and spirits and pace. We highly recommend that you take part in this tour for a wonderful introduction to Bardstown for out of towners. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!! Thank you again Victoria and Monica.

Well worth the time - Victoria was amazing! We had a smaller group. She talked about the history and culture of Bardstown. She was very knowledgeable. The food was more than sufficient as well as the the drinks. We stopped at many historical sites. By the end of the day, we felt like friends. I recommend anyone to go on this tour.

Awesome tour and good way to start your Bardstown visit. - Tour was done very well, including history of Bardstown, and each of the 4 stops featured both a taste of either beer or bourbon, and plentiful food including delicious pretzel bites with queso, cheese board, gourmet meatball sandwich, and fried green tomatoes. Highly recommend that you start your experience in Bardstown with this tour! Plenty of food for either lunch or dinner. Knowledgeable awesome guide.

Great guide and great food and drinks - Fun and interesting walking tour of some of the highlights of Bardstown. Victoria was a great tour guide and lead us on a well paced stroll to four establishments. Each has it's own "flavor" and ambiance. Lots of local history and Victoria was able to answer questions. This out second tour with them and it again, did not disappoint. We will definitely do again when we visit next year.
