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.

If you are ever in Kentucky don't miss this tour. This is a behind the scenes look at thoroughbred horse racing at Keeneland Race Track to see these majestic animals train. A walk around the beautifully manicured grounds will take your breath away. Our tour guide Mike was so knowledgeable about the horses and was always willing to answer any questions we had. After leaving Keeneland we were able to see private farms and actually get up close and pet these beautiful, amazing horses. This tour was the highlight of our 2 days in Kentucky. Don't miss this if you are ever there and if you can, request Mike as your tour guide. AWESOME experience and more than worth your time and money.
