Tour that checks all the boxes! - Came for a business meeting, had a free day in Louisville before my meetings started. Wanted to safely see the city (I was by myself), experience the local food and drink, get some exercise and meet some nice people. This tour checked all of these boxes. Anna was our tour guide, and did an amazing job! She grew up in Louisville and had lots of interesting facts to share as we walked through the “Nulu” section of the city. I’m not a huge bourbon fan, but actually enjoyed the bourbon cocktails that were part of the tour. Her food choices were spot on! I loved everything that she picked out for us. Highly recommend this tour, thanks Anna!!

Great walking bourbon and food tour! - Cathy was a great guide! We learned about the history of bourbon as we strolled the streets. The 4 locations we ate and drank at were fantastic! The food was delicious, and even though we aren't big bourbon drinkers, we enjoyed several of the tastings! It was a fun evening!

Book it! Worth every cent! - Take this tour!!! The cocktails, food pairings and historical stories were fantastic! Cathy was an amazing guide and I can’t think her enough for doing the tour with just a few of us! I’m not even a big bourbon fan but my husband is and I loved every part of this. Cocktails were amazing! Honestly a great value for the price of the event. A perfect evening! We’re already making plans to return to Louisville and bring our friends.
