Five Star Tour! - This was the best way to see the country side around Lexington and get the chance to go behind the scenes at Keeneland and two horse farms. Our tour guide, Hope, was so knowledgeable, being a local, life-long resident and horse person herself, that she brought everything on the tour to life. Our group was small, only 4 of us with the guide, and it truly felt like personal service. The passenger van was clean, comfortable, and stocked with cold bottled water. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide was incredibly... - Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging in regard to the horse farms and the business of horse breeding/ racing. I would say the tour was a bit long if you have younger children, but being able to interact with the horses made it all worth it. The phillies were particularly engaging and outgoing. Very fun!

If I could give it 6 stars I would. - What a fantastic opportunity to learn about, bloodlines, families, history, money and the sheer wonder of the Thoroughbred . We knew nothing about this intriguing world and we left in awe of the stead fast tradition, international collaboration and overall magnitude of this industry. We had a terrific afternoon and thank Tim for his time and attention to our crazy questions.

A must do activity! - I brought a group of 15 while on a motorcycle tour. The group cannot stop talking about how GREAT it was. John and Nick were awesome. We could have spent lots more time just chatting and tapping into their wealth of knowledge. Would highly recommend this one!!!

Hands on Thoroughbred Tour - Our Guide was Vicky, and she was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on the farms and history of each one. She gave us more information than I will ever remember, but every bit of it was interesting and enjoyable. Vicky took the time to answer questions and gave us some tips on other things to do in and around Lexington. We had driven to Paris in the back roads and saw many farms the day before but had no history on them. It was a great day spent seeing Paris, coalville covered bridge and Millersburg and clay city. Just fun to take the back roads and see the real countryside! Thank you Vicky for a great morning.
