Take This Tour! - Really loved this tour, what a great way to explore downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Reasonably priced & a great experience. The Artist Attic has so many talented creators under the same roof, you may even meet some of them. It was great seeing & getting details on downtown murals. Really enjoyed the rotating art exhibition at 21c hotel. Bonus! Super tasty appetizers provided at the beginning & the end of the tour!
