Highly recommend. Captain Nate was knowledgeable and the river was gorgeous. Bottled water was provided on board. And we each got a Bourbon ball chocolate to sample. All distillery tours were fully booked so this was an interesting way to learn about the history of bourbon in Kentucky.

This was a great way to learn about the history of bourbon - the perspective from the river and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.

It was a beautiful day for a ride and we enjoyed all of the history especially the originations of a lot of phrases Americans use daily that we take for granted. Refreshments were handed out about halfway through the trip. You may want to wear some sunscreen if you're sitting at the front of the boat, but otherwise you'll probably be shaded by the boat's canopy.
