Our group of friends ventured from Louisville to Bardstown to enjoy a full day of adventure in this…read morelovely town. We participated in an afternoon tour of My Old Kentucky Home and received a group rate of $12 per person since we purchased at least 10 tickets. The tour of the home is self-guided and typically takes less than an hour and then can allow extra time if needed to check out the grounds and/or the gift shop. On this day, however, we had a wonderful tour guide who was impressive with her knowledge about the house and the residents. The house is beautifully maintained and the grounds are also pristine. The visitor center had seating with the option to view a film while waiting. There is also a gift shop filled to the brim with a multitude of items. Plenty of parking. Restroom facilities are well maintained. Overall, a well maintained historical property.

On a recent trip to Bardstown, the wife wanted to see Federal Hill, the manison in "My Old Kentucky…read moreHome State Park". According to KY legend, Stephen Foster wrote the song "My Old Kentucky Home" that became the offical state song, while staying at Federal Hill. The park has a beautiful visitors center and the staff in the visitors center was very welcoming and quite knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the timing didn't work for us to take a tour of the manison (hours are on the hour and last 45 minutes). We missed the 2pm tour and couldn't do the 3pm tour since we needed to be back in Louisville to pick up the grandkids. We did, however, take a walking tour of the grounds and we got to see the outside of the manison, the gazebo, the spring house and the Stephen Foster statue. We were there on a beautiful (70 degree) day in February. Despite today's beautiful weather, the gardens still thought it was winter. We want to come back when the gardens are in bloom and when we have time to take a tour of the manison. Admission to the state park and the grounds is FREE. There is a charge for a guided tour of the manison.

I had been drinking for hours and I called them at 830 pm and asked them what time they close and a woman told me midnight.

I downloaded the Lyft app and Uber app because I had to find a way home one way another from the bar in raywick.

Overall, the bourbon was decent, nothing incredible IMO, but it's always fun to try new stuff and see what shakes out.

She was incredibly friendly and seemed to be holding the whole event together. We were so impressed! We'll definitely be back!

Once getting the quote I had to make a couple of changes and never did I feel like they were annoyed by me. We had several options to choose from and honestly we couldn't go wrong with any of the ones presented. The tour has an option to have boxed lunches because there is not much time to stop for lunch while on the tour which is a nice add. It also included various snacks and a cooler full of water. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He was patient and we never felt rushed. We were in a van and it was very comfortable and we had plenty of room. This was my first time doing something like this and I would totally do it again. So worth the money to be able to enjoy the tour, drink bourbon and relax.

My husband and I did a bourbon tour with Bob for two days. From the time we contacted him, he…read morecorresponded promptly with information and suggestions, based on what our interests were, sending draft itineraries before finalizing the customized tour details. My husband wanted to see smaller distilleries, so Bob customized our tour to include several smaller distilleries. With his guidance, we got to have great one-on-one experiences at each one, much more than if we had tried to do things on our own. Additionally, he picked us up at our AirBnb way out in the boondocks of Taylorsville, took us to all the destinations, including lunch, and brought us back to our AirBnb at the end of each day. If you're doing a bourbon trail in Kentucky, you will have the best experience with Bob as your guide. He is well known at all of the distilleries, and walked into each destination with us, to make sure we knew where to go and were well taken care of. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves, talk to some of the master distillers, do all kinds of tastings, all without worrying about organizing itinerary or having to drive back to our Airbnb after doing several tastings. At the end of each day, we were not exhausted or overwhelmed (unlike the day we went to a single distillery on our own). It is definitely well worth the cost to hire Bob and his team if you're doing a Kentucky bourbon tour, or any other tours in the area, for that matter. We saved up just for the purpose of hiring Bob while doing this trip, and it was well worth every penny! There's no way we would've gotten as much out of this trip trying to do this on our own without Bob as our tour guide. He is phenomenal, and knows Kentucky bourbon history, as well as other Kentucky history, inside and out! When I mentioned to him that I was a sourdough baker and interested in seeing bakeries, he mentioned several that we were able to visit later. He also recommended several chocolate shops, which we also visited later. Bob is a phenomenal tour guide, knowledgable about Kentucky history, and I'm so glad we were able to see the area with his guidance. We will definitely book him the next time we are in town!!! Our only regret is that we forgot to take a photo with him to share. I am still disappointed in myself for that. We won't forget next time...
