Great food and bourbon walking tour - Greta, our tour guide, was very informative. She knew a lot about Louisville overall, the area we were touring, its history, what defines a bourbon, and she gave suggestions of local places to go. The stops were great! There was a lot of food at the tastings and nice bourbon drink sampling. I highly recommend it.
