We did the Dam & Locks History tour, and were joined by one other family. Because of the small number of passengers, the tour felt very personable and the husband-and-wife captains were able to answer everyone's questions. We loved the additional background information that was shared about the history of bourbon in this area. One of the best parts of the tour was the informal chatting at the end, when one of the captains recommended a distillery (Glenns Greek Distillery, which was fabulous!) and a local restaurant for dinner (Bourbon on Main, another fabulous recommendation!). This husband-and-wife team of captains were amazing - we would absolutely do another tour if we're ever in the area again!

We were running late but Captain Nathan was kind enough to wait. The boat ride was nice and Captain Nathan was informative and funny.
