We booked the small tour with two kids and we all loved it! Well honestly there is not a lot to see on that tour but we learned so much about Kentucky, its people and the Bourbon history! And we went there on a hot day and it´s nice to spend some time on the river. Our kids enjoyed it too, as they could steer to boat for a little while together with the captain. Oh and there is Ale8 (ginger ale) drinks which we loved too. Totally recomend it!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our tours- a great way to learn about local KY and bourbon history and get a great view of the KY River and wildlife. The lock tour is interesting. Owners are great- friendly, full of good info/recommendations. This tour is good for all ages- kids as well as seniors. Depending on when you go, it can get a bit hot (sunscreen/hats are good) and definitely bring a rain jacket if rain is in the forecast.
