Bruce is the BEST! - Absolutely outstanding experience… we had two days with Bruce: day 1 - Marker’s Mark & Keeneland racetrack; day 2 - Woodford Reserve, Whiskey Thief, & Buffalo Trace. Bruce was super informative, accommodating, and made us all feel safe and comfortable. The wealth of knowledge about the locations we visited, places we drove past, KY state history and the people and properties and changes the bourbon industry has gone through where just never ending… we were all riveted the whole drive between each spot and he made sure we were taken care of at each destination. Bruce is a king and I hope he is still doing it the next time I come back… would recommend Mint Julep and especially Bruce to anyone that ever mentions Kentucky, Bourbon, or Derby within my ear shot!

A truly memorable experience! - My friends and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Mint Julep Experiences - Louisville! Even from the early planning stages, the team was responsive and helpful. The bus picked us up and dropped us off from our Airbnb near downtown, which was incredibly convenient. Stepping onto the bus, our driver for the day (Matt) was very friendly! We had a bit of a long drive, as we did a more eastern route toward Lexington, and Matt did a good job balancing giving us interesting information while also allowing us to talk and enjoy time amongst ourselves. The bus was spacious and comfortable, and waters were provided. Our three stops were well-planned (with the help of Abby in the weeks/months before); my guests all had a wonderful time at each stop. Matt was also very accommodating and flexible in maximizing our time during the tour! We booked the private tour with our group of 9, and we had the bus to ourselves the whole day. One stop included another group at a distillery (not with this company), which was expected anyway given our small group size, so not at all an issue for us. All said and done, everyone on the tour said they were thoroughly impressed with the tour and thought it was well worth what we ultimately each paid - and several of my friends learned they actually like bourbon! I would highly recommend this company for your tours, and we will for sure use them again to do anything similar in the future!

What a wonderful experience1 - Our tour was scheduled as a birthday gift for my son. I gave Anna a list of some of the distillaries we would be interested in. She came up with a tour that was perfect! Our tour guide, Mark, was so pleasant and was so knowledgeable about not only the bourbon trail but on the history of Kentucky. We had a wonderful time and will come back to Mint Julep Tours when we schedule our next bourbon trail experience!

Birthdays and Bourbon! - Our group of friends traveled from Chicago for a fun pre-Derby weekend in Louisville, celebrating some milestone birthdays. Mint Julep Tours was top-notch from the initial planning all the way through the day of our private tour. Everything went exactly as planned. Our tour planner, Aften, communicated clearly and made the planning process easy. On the day of our tour, our guide, Cindy, kept us on schedule and was prepared for everything - from water on the bus to ponchos and umbrellas for rain. Our driver, Shanda, navigated the roads to the distilleries like a true professional. I would highly recommend this tour company!

Great way to experience the Bourbon Trail! - A well-organized tour that hit all the highlights! The service was top-notch, from working with our booking coordinator to our tour guide. Having transportation, lunch, and all the reservations handled was definitely worth the price. We used it for a one-day tour, but certainly would recommend for a multi-day trip as well.

Neil and Kenny - Neil and Kenny were the best tour guides I’ve ever been with, they were both knowledgeable and entertaining throughout their tour. I couldn’t recommend those tours enough. They were the highlight of my trip.

March Bourbon Tours - We had three different days with Mint Julep at various distilleries. Ron, Neil, and Kenny were excellent tour guides. We learned a lot, drank a little nd had a great time. Highly recommend.
