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.

Whatever…read moreBourbon Excursions is doing to take care of their customers, well, they are hitting their target! The level of customer service provided by our tour guide, Bruce Raque, was truly exceptional and went above and beyond what one might expect. He went out of his way to give us some history of distilleries and the area, as well as showing us some local spots that the locals love. We really appreciated all that he did for us, from picking us up at our hotel, visiting local distilleries, taking us to a great BBQ lunch spot, and dropping us back at our hotel. To Bourbon Excursions, thank you for an amazing first Bourbon City Tour experience. We will definitely come back for a second!

Jerry was an awesome driver, keeping the ride smooth, relaxing, and completely stress-free so we could fully enjoy the tastings without worry.

I would highly recommend Mint Julep Tours to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and informative bourbon trail experience.

I highly recommend Mint Julep Tours if you're thinking of taking a trip through the bourbon trail!

We love city tours. Walking tours, bike tours, food tours, bus tours. With limited time in a city,…read morethey're a great way to get a feel for the area and to pick out places you'd like to revisit. Heck, we've even taken tours in our own city! Very fun. This tour was no exception. We had a very enjoyable afternoon, got to see a lot of different things, learn a bit about the history of Louisville, and try some delicious foods. The format of this tour is as such: the bus drops you off at a location for 30-60 minutes, giving you time to explore while City Taste runs off to pick up food from a local eatery. When you get back on the bus, there's a taste (and a drink) to be eaten as you drive on to the next stop. The benefit of this is that you get to experience AND taste bits of Louisville, instead of one or the other. The drawback is that there is sometimes a bit of waiting around for the bus to return. On our tour, we stopped at Schimpffs candy shop, Churchill Downs (where we took a tour), Old Louisville, Louisville Slugger OR NULU (we were given an option), and the Belle of Louisville. Our favorite stop was Old Louisville by far. What a BEAUTIFUL area with such rich history! The food we had was fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, hot brown pizza, pulled pork and potato salad, and Derby Pie. All were delicious, but the particular favorites were the hush puppies and the hot brown pizza. Alongside came a variety of drinks... we weren't huge fans of the flavored beers and wines (vanilla, strawberry, etc.) but we liked the bourbon tastings, the bourbon coffee, and the mint julep at the end. For reference, the food quantity was enough to keep us mostly satisfied but not amounting to a full meal replacement. I wouldn't eat a huge lunch before you go, but I also wouldn't show up hungry. City Taste Tours was extremely accommodating and gracious to our family. I realize these tours aren't geared toward kids specifically, but they went out of their way to make it enjoyable for everyone on board. If you're looking for a tour that's a bit of everything, a "taste" of all tours, this is the one for you. It's quirky, fun, and a great way to spend an afternoon in Louisville. **One last thing I'd mention: we booked a private tour, mostly because we just didn't want to take away from anyone else's experience by bringing 6 kids along. We were surprised to find out after being picked up that the bus was picking up other riders as well. It honestly worked out TOTALLY fine - it was a great couple that came along with us - but I just mention this to warn someone who actually cares a lot about it being a private tour... you might want to double check that they don't somehow overlook your private reservation and add extra people to your group.

We booked a couple of months in advanced and was promised a nice black luxury tour bus with an experienced driver. We got a handicap school bus with metal headrests, a very loud handicap ramp, bad shocks, a broken stereo, and a tour guide that was 30 minutes late and kept getting lost. She told us, she wanted to cancel once they showed her the vehicle. She said they just acquired it. Because she was late, we missed out on a tour and didn't have time to shop. Another tour guide for a different company told us that the vehicle was illegal because it wasn't even registered. We made the most of it. I reached out during and after. The manager, Nick, won't return my calls and it's been weeks. Their prices were really high compared to last time, but I went with it because of our first experience. Now I have to go after them legally. You don't know what you will get with this company. Don't use them! You could get blindsided.
