Did a father and son trip on the mint julep tour and say it exceeded our expectations would not do the experience justice. It was amazing. In fact because we had some extra time, they actually added an extra distillery for us. Also, the lunch was 4 star I would highly recommend this tour Great job guys. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

We had a fantastic tour experience. The best part was since we were a small group of 6 we had time to go to an additional distillery. This was our first guided tour, I now think it is worth the money to go on a guided tour. You get personal service, you get the knowledge of the tour guide, and the group of friends feeling after a bourbon tasting or three. However, you are on a schedule, but we never felt rushed.

Everything was perfect. Cindy was not only our fabulous driving but a Wonderful tour guide. She knew so much history about Louisville plus the bourbon trail and distilleries.

Lux Distillery

Highly recommend this tour! We did the Sunday brunch tour that included a brunch and alcoholic cocktail at brunch. Then we we went to Kentucky Artisan and Buffalo Trace. We did a tour and tasting at Kentucky artisan and an elevated guided tasting at Buffalo Trace. Both places were wonderful! Michael was our tour guide in mint Julep tours and he was knowledgeable and made it so fun! He was joking with us and telling stories on the bus to pass the time. They also provided water bottles and cups with ice for the ride back so we could sample our whiskeys we purchased in the bus!

What a great day! We did the brunch and bourbon tour. Started with a nice brunch and a cocktail. They needed to make sure we had a good base in our stomach before we started out to the tastings. Then out to the country to Bulleit and a very nice tour of the facility and a very unique tasting. Grabbed a cocktail, some lovely bourbon and off to the next stop. It was a smaller bourbon house and another tasting. What a great day! The guide Dan and Michael were very entertaining. I can't recommend them enough!

Group of four, first Bourbon Trail tour. Did two tours; Thrs June 13, Fri June 15. Three distilleries each day, Cindi and Ron were excellent; knowledgeable, funny and kept us on time. Bus was clean with experienced drivers both days. Excellent value when you consider the addition of lunch. Mint Julep did not fail to provide a great experience for all. Highly recommend MJE.

This was an amazing tour! We decided to do this instead of renting a car and touring ourselves; best decision! The tour guides are so knowledgeable and it takes a lot of work off you in deciding route and which tour to choose. Our guide from Mint Julep, Cindy, was awesome and fun. We enjoyed meeting other people on our bus and we loved the distillery choices. The guides at the distilleries were the best and we loved the lunch in the historic inn. It was well worth the money!

Mike and Rick made for an exceptional experience. Fun yet very informative! Highly recommended!

Spent two days and toured 7 bourbon distilleries. Tom was our host and was a wealth of knowledge. Not only about bourbon but Kentucky in general. We had a large group close to 20 people and he handled it seamlessly. Definitely made our trip
