Wonderful, informative tour. Our Captains were fantastic and very friendly. We learned so much about the area history as well as bourbon. Our group raved about the tour the entire trip. Do not hesitate to book this!!

This was such an interesting and fun tour. We were camping nearby and visited the State capital building in Frankfort, popped into the Rebecca and Ruth candy store, though we were too late to do a tour as the last one is at 2.30pm, toured Buffalo Trace distillery and then the river trip over 3 days. Ending with the boat trip was fantastic as it drew all we had seen and heard together. You can so tell that the captain loves history and the skipper did a great job, even with the strong winds. Looking forward to doing more trips down the Kentucky river.
