Wonderful and very informative trip down the Kentucky River. Captain Nathan and his wife Allison could not have been more accommodating. We asked to change out tour time because of unsettled weather conditions. They did and we were the only 2 on the boat. Would highly recommend the tour for everyone of any age.

We were picked up at Buffalo Trace Distillery and taken to the boat ramp. The boat is a pontoon and you cruise the river and hear a ton of history that goes along with the Kentucky River. The captain of the boat was awesome, and very knowledgeable. The only complaint I could possibly have is we went on a very hot day. Not a lot of cover on the boat, so wear sunscreen. Outside of that I would recommend. The lady that drove the bus that picked us up was very nice and chatted about restaurants etc. Both are Kentucky Colonials.

Thanks for the feedback. We have ordered a new top for the boat since we have noticed the heat on board...so we hear you! We are a new business and are truly learning how to be the best as we go! Know that next time you join is we should have more shade available, and we will continue to ask the good Lord for better temperatures this summer! It has been a HOT one!
