Half-Day Thoroughbred Horse Farm Tour in Kentucky

Overview
Discover why Lexington, Kentucky is known as the Horse Capital of the World on this 3.5-hour narrated tour with transportation provided on a comfortable 14-person passenger van. The tour is not all on the van, though, as destination stops are made at world famous Keeneland Race Course* and one or more of the beautiful Thoroughbred horse farms that combine to make the Lexington region the true epicenter of Thoroughbred breeding in the United States ... and beyond.

All tours are given by very experienced local guides who share a wealth of stories about the history of the local area, farms, bourbon production and the Thoroughbred horse -- the world's most desired breed for winning the world's most prestigious races.

* NOTE: All tour itineraries can vary/change depending on changing destination and farm availability on the specific day of the tour. This is true for all of the venues (including Keeneland at its discretion) and the Thoroughbred horse farms.

Wonderful morning in Lexington going to Keeneland race course and Old Friends horse farm. Our guide, Nick, was knowledgeable and experienced raising and training thoroughbreds, and kept us engaged and laughing for the entire 4 hours. On the downside, masks were not required in the tight, packed van. That was the only place on our entire trip over 10 days that masks in a tight space were not required, which was a little uncomfortable. Other than that - excellent.

The tour that we received was really fantastic. Vicki did a great job being both informative and an enjoyable and engaging tour guide. She had an amazing amount of history on the various horses and locations that we visited and was very conscientious of providing us the opportunity to engage with the horses when appropriate. We’ve compared notes with friends who have done other similar tours and ours sounds like it was definitely the best.
