Colonel Captain Nathan was excellent and a wealth of knowledge. There were five of us and we were the only people on the boat which was great. They are limiting their boats to 8 people due to Covid. We really enjoyed it. We thought we would see more things to take pictures of but it’s mostly about the history. We are always looking to learn about the areas we vividly and this was a great way. We recommits this experience.

Thanks so much. We are all about history, but your right, not as much to take photos of. We did have a deer swim in front of us last night on the river, and an eagle the day before. It is all about timing I guess!

Very nice hour on the water with Nathan, our excellent guide, who can talk about anything related to Kentucky, Bourbon, local history and recommendations for restaurants. My husband and I were the only 2 that booked this trip on a Thursday afternoon in July during Covid, so we had a private tour! Since we were headed to Lexington, Nathan recommended a scenic route to drive, instead of the Interstate, a pizza place and the best ice cream place in the Distillery District of Lexington. We followed his recommendations and had a lovely experience driving to Lexington, eating pizza and bourbon ball ice cream - we would not have known about these places without Nathan.
