    This was such a neat experience! It’s really cool. Our guides, Aaron and Nolan were funny and knowledgeable. We always felt at ease and safe.

    It’s a one of a kind experience! Zip lining in the caverns was so much fun!!

    It was fun to stop here. A bunch of fans all wearing their favorite teams gear. You were able to see some of the old timers who played.

    We scheduled a tour of Keeneland the day prior to our arrival. Unfortunately our flights did not arrive early enough to takes a scheduled tour However Mary Perkins was gracious enough to give us a private tour upon our arrival.

    My wife and I found the tour fascinating. It added a whole new dimension to our understanding of horse racing and its culture. Mary was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun as well as educational.

    Kudos to Mary. A true asset to the Keeneland team! Thank you again Mary!

    Mimi was excellent. She provided an in-depth analysis of the distillery and how everything came about. I was impressed with her knowledge and attention to detail of how the distillery was created and the history. Her old-fashioned was great as well. I will definitely come back to pay a visit my next trip down.

    We hit the Bourbon Trail for our 4th time in the last couple of years. This time we were celebrating my son-in-laws 30th birthday! We started our tour with a stop at Buffalo Trace (our second time in the last 7-months). Tucker was our very informative and energetic tour guide. Our sampling included Weller as the allocated bottle of the day. The entire grounds are awesome to walk around. After spending the several hundreds of dollars in the gift shop we headed out to our next stop on the trail (see my Woodford Reserve review).

    I have been to Mammoth Cave many times over the years and always enjoyed the tours. They are all good and have different levels from very easy to strenuous. Just read the descriptions of the tours before you sign up for certain tour. I would highly recommend buying your tickets ahead of time online as the tours do fill up quickly. If you are adventurous try the wild cave tour if you are able to crawl, climb etc and are not afraid of tight areas, especially when crawling, and you are in good health as it can be very strenuous. I very much recommend Mammoth Cave.

    The house was amazing and the history from a family member made it even better. The tour was delightfully longer than expected. Thank you Barb for sharing so much!

    Visiting this museum at Churchill Downs is a must do in Louisville. The 360 degree movie theater is amazing. The film is an excellent history of the Kentucky Derby. The museum displays are informative. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and conducted an excellent tour.
