Amazing! Don't miss it! - It was amazing! Neil was a fantastic guide and I learned so much about the horse racing industry, and the bourbon industry. Loved it, and the beautiful state of Kentucky. Highly recommend it, and ask for Neil! Super comfortable bus and great driver!

Even if Bourbon isn't your "thing", you'll really like this daytour! - A "must do" tourist experience if you are in the Louisville area. A perfectly timed day trip: the stud farm in the morning , lunch, and 3 Bourbon distilleries, each different in its own way, in the afternoon. Our van was clean and roomy and our guide was excellent. You'll get to see pieces of Bluegrass up close and in the distance.

Good Tour and Bourbon - The tour was a lot of fun we learned a ton about bourbon in Kentucky and the local history. The bourbon samples were generous, and the drinks at the different locations were excellent.

Awesome Bourbon Trail Day! - We had the best time with Travis driving us around today to four different distilleries. He told great and entertaining stories about the history, and was very knowledgeable about bourbon and what to expect on the tours. It was so nice not having to worry about where we were going next, and we even had a nice catered lunch between tours. He even went out of his way to take us to a surprise visit of Ruth’s Candy store. This is the best way to hit the bourbon trail and would absolutely do it again!

Fun or fact…. FUN! - What a day! We had a custom tour. Right from the start we knew that we were in for a lot of fun. Terry, our driver got us safely to where we needed to go and on time. Our tour guide Derrick was very knowledgeable and made the trip memorable! Derrick engaged all of us as we traveled from place to place and artfully wove us into his story of the history of bourbon making. Kismet Farm was awesome! I’ve never had the opportunity to stand in the pasture and pet these gentle creatures before. Matthew, the owner passionately shared his expertise as we were encouraged to pet the horses. And of course…. then there was the Bourbon! We stopped at Larakin for a classy tasting, then Castle and Key for some delicious cocktails then on to the Whiskey Thief for a great tour and tasting. Our last stop was at the Female owned and operated Jeptha Creed distillery where we tasted and toasted, ate and relaxed on the patio before returning home. Thank you Derrick!
