A Perfect Blend of Scenery and Bourbon History - The Kentucky River Bourbon History Boat Tour was an incredible experience! Cruising along the scenic Kentucky River while learning about the history of bourbon was the perfect combination. Captain Nathan was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories about the area’s bourbon heritage and the river’s role in the industry. The views from the river were beautiful, and it offered a unique perspective on Kentucky’s landscape. Whether you’re a bourbon enthusiast or just looking for a relaxing way to take in some local history, this tour is a must-do. This was one of favorite things about our entire trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Great Tour to Relax and Wind Down - This was a fun and relaxing tour. The tour guide was not only funny but very knowledgeable. It gave a different point of view of the local history. The only thing I had an issue with was when we arrived, I was looking for a pontoon boat like the picture shown here. We were expecting that and a small tour with no alcohol included (which is what the original description mentioned). I was really confused when all I saw was a large houseboat with a bar included. I literally thought I was on the wrong boat and interrupted our excellent tour guide because I needed to confirm. I'm sure everyone around me thought I was nuts...but anyway...this is not a pontoon boat! It is a large, comfortable boat with two levels and super friendly hosts! I'd do it again.
