The best!! - We had the best time!! Kaylee was so warm, welcoming, and energetic and clearly loves her town! We took our kids (16 & 11) on this tour because they love trying unique foods and Kaylee engaged them (and all of us) the entire time. I loved all of the fact and stories she shared. If we were in the Lexington area longer, we would book another tour. Such a positive experience! Thank you, Kaylee, for such a wonderful start to our vacation!

Great way to spend an afternoon in Lexington! - What a fun afternoon! Our guides were upbeat and fun, and the restaurants very welcoming. Kaylee & Lionel were adorable. They'd be especially nice for Gen Z groups.
