Looking for something new to do on Labor Day weekend (also our Anniversary weekend), my wife ran…read moreacross the Bluegrass Railroad Museum. We've always loved doing things that are train-related, so this was an easy decision. Riding the train? Even better, as I've always loved train travel. They have the coach, first class, and the new open-air cars. Those looked awesome, but since it was our anniversary weekend we were looking for a bit more. "A bit more" meant we got to rid in The Cab with the engineers! It was a totally awesome experience, sitting, literally, at the front of the train with the guys making the thing go. As I recall the engineers were Robert and Steve, and were really nice guys. They were funny and informative, and it was cool to see the "behind the scenes" while the train was in motion. The Cab wasn't as big as I expected it to be and the controls weren't really high-tech, then again this was a pretty vintage engine. It was fun as we heard them calling out commands and statuses to each other and with the conductor at the rear of the train. The scenery along the way is beautiful. Horse farms and rolling fields make for post-card ready photographs, and the limestone cuts along the way make you realize just how much work went into getting the track built back during the civil war. We were also told that, while the railroad ties are replaced very 25 years, the iron rails are still the original rails that were laid back then. Once we got to the end of the track we ended up at the Kentucky River, which was seriously cool. While it's no longer viable for river crossings it's still an awesome thing to see. We stopped there for about 15 minutes to take pictures and to take in the scenery. Back on board the train and now the Engine is pushing the train from the rear and the engineers and conductor continued their calls, making sure things were moving safely. Once back at the station it was time to disembark and visit the museum and gift shop, which doubles as the ticket booth. They have a nice array of souvenirs to chose from for anyone at any age. The museum is a bit on the small side compared to others we've been to, but at the same time it's perfectly sized for their operation. There is also a model train exhibit in one of the stationary rail cars, and a few other cars to check out on the grounds. We really enjoyed our visit and train ride - especially riding in The Cab - and we'll be back again. Looking at other reviews it makes absolutely no sense why someone would give this a 1-star rating because it was, in every sense, and absolutely awesome experience.

Believed I was booking a horse farm tour and bourbon tour after requesting this and sending back an email stating I was looking forward to the tour, and never was told otherwise until the driver already had picked us up and told us no tours were booked for the day. Spoke to JB in the office who was rude and then told the driver, without my knowledge, to take my group home. After initialing refunding, I was told my credit card was charged again without my knowledge or consent. When I told the company this was not OK and they were not authorized to charge my card, this is part of the response JB/Thoroughbred Limo sent me: "Your comments tell me you are someone looking to scam an honest small business... You remind me of the scammers at restaurants that want their $200 tab comp't because the $5 kids meal french fries were cold... You must desperately need the money. Have a good weekend. JB Thoroughbred Limousine 859-273-3690 https://www.facebook.com/thoroughbredlimo/ www.thoroughbredlimo.com www.instagram.com/thoroughbredlimo" JB and Thoroughbred Limo's conduct and insults demonstrate extreme unprofessionalism and poor business skills.

After not hearing from them for a month I email the company and receive a phone call. Was informed that my request "fell" through the cracks because they were not checking the website and they can not fill the request without charging me more.

No where on the website does it state Saturday's in May require a special fee on the website it specifies certain events such as derby, breeders cup, keeneland etc. There is not one of these events Occurring on my date or in the city of Lexington. As a bride I would not pick this service as my transportation. Here I am a month out from my wedding scrambling for something else. This company is unreliable and untruthful. Wish I went with something else.

The cab I was picked up in was one of those explorer type vehicles (could have fit the government motorcade if it had all tinted windows). WHAT A STANDARD OF CHANGE FROM WHAT I THOUGHT A TAXI CAB ONCE WAS! The individual was really nice and we talked about his wife and how, we men, tend to get worn out from all the demands of life. LOL! He also told me of his upcoming "big fish" type of travel, $6k for a 3 day drop off and pick up for a customer. The taxi life is (using a gen z term to best describe this, might be out of context, but...) bussing. I even asked him how the introduction of Uber and Lyft had affected the taxi business and he stated that it led to a lot of them going out of business. He still has a stronghold because of his "loyal customer base." The only problem I have with this service is that the price is pretty steep. $4 a mile is pretty expensive. My itemized receipt: 40 for 8.8 miles (I think he rounded up) $4 for tax (when I think KY sales tax is like 6%, so somewhere around $2.20) $6 tip (I was kind of in a bind and was just glad someone could get me to work) $50 Just for comparison purposes: The vehicle I drive gets 31 mpg. If I were to drive the same distance, it would be 11/31 = 0.3549/gallons 0.3549 x 3.49 (gas price at the station I usually use) = $1.2386 IRS reimbursement rate 0.655/mile x 11 = $7.205 I would think reasonable would be around $25.

An Exceptional Stay at The Thoroughbred Hotel in Paris, Kentucky…read more Where do I begin? Our stay at The Thoroughbred Hotel was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by some of the warmest, most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. The hotel is locally owned, and that personal touch shines through in every aspect of the experience. Not only was the hotel incredible, but everyone we met throughout Paris, Kentucky, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. It felt like we were surrounded by friends everywhere we went. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The rooms were top-notch--beautifully appointed, spotless, and full of character. The horse and horse-racing theme throughout the hotel perfectly captures the spirit of Kentucky and adds a unique charm that makes this boutique hotel truly special. We originally came to Paris to visit a friend in rehab and chose to stay here during our trip. What we didn't expect was to leave with so many new friendships and wonderful memories. The hospitality we experienced was second to none. My wife and I will absolutely be returning, and if we can reserve a room at The Thoroughbred Hotel again, we won't hesitate. Next time, we're bringing our travel companions along because we're certain they'll love it every bit as much as we did. If their experience is anything like ours, they'll probably leave with a few new friends as well. If you're looking for a beautiful boutique hotel, exceptional hospitality, and a true taste of small-town Kentucky charm, The Thoroughbred Hotel is a destination in itself. Highly recommended!

It's a very short walk to the water from anywhere in the camp. Most of the campers here are share holders and only come for the weekends so during the week it's very quite and relaxing. Many weekends there have been live bands and so many other fun activities going on! Every is usually friendly and polite. Don't forget to wave at your neighbors! Charles, Rus, and another gentleman (sorry I forgot your name) do an amazing job to accommodate you during your stay and work hard to make the campground what it is.
