Awesome and relaxing tour - Highly recommend this tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave an excellent presentation on the history of bourbon and the KY River. Even though it was raining for our tour, the boat was covered and we stayed dry. Excellent views from top deck. Very relaxing and informative. Darren was awesome!

Interesting and enjoyable experience. Makes you want to do other tours. - My husband and I enjoyed the river cruise on the Bourbon Belle. Our tour guide was Darryl. He was nice, helpful, and kept the tour nteresting. We enjoyed learning about the history of bourbon and Frankfort. We definitely plan on taking other tours in the future.

Great Experience! - The tour guide was really great! We had a very small group so it felt really intimate and like a conversation with our guide (excepting of course that he knew so much more about the area than we did!) Really enjoyed it!

A wonderful primer of bourbon and central Kentucky - Frankfort, Kentucky, is full of bourbon-based history, and adept raconteur Captain Nathan made the most of it, filling us with facts and anecdotes on the 90-minute Bourbon History Tour. The double-decker tour boat is comfortable and quiet, and the stretch of the Kentucky River we travelled was beautiful on a warm autumn afternoon. I'm a local, and don't really care that much about bourbon (gasp), but I loved every minute of the tour.
