This was the greatest designed tour, with well chosen stops for incredible food (a soup flight for October? Perfection!) and drink (a cocktail specifically designed for the tour, also thoughtfully and deliciously created for the season). Victoria’s stories and personality made it unforgettable and helped my husband and me to understand a bit about this beautiful and historic area of Kentucky for which she clearly has a passion. The first stop at the whiskey museum gave us some context for what the ppl of the area lived through. I can’t imagine a person who wouldn’t enjoy this memorable tour. You must do it!

A fun variety of tastes and sights as we walked through Bardstown. The tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience memorable. We will definitely come back to Bardstown again for their Christmas parade.

Josh is awesome. We had a great time spending the day with him. He’s such a history buff and go-getter, so his tour was interesting and packed full of interesting content. Ask him about anything Kentucky Whiskey.
