Fun, educational and entertaining - The perfect way to spend some time on the Kentucky River…beautiful weather, great hosts and tour guides. We highly recommend the bourbon boat and a tour of Buffalo Trace (Freddie is an amazing tour guide at the distillery!).

Great Bourbon History and Tastes! - Although a little chilly, we had a wonderful time learning history of bourbon and the area. The tasting was a wonderful mix and great quality. Views from the boat were picturesque and all-in-all a relaxing, enjoyable afternoon sipping bourbon and meeting new people.

Bourban and Boats tour - The ride was relaxing, Allison was a great captain and Nathan was the best historian and storyteller!! The bourbons tasted great and explained well by Kelly. If you are in the area this is a wonderful tour to take.

Don’t have to be a bourbon connoisseur to enjoy! - Such a great evening with my husband. We aren’t big bourbon buffs- but we learned so much about the history of bourbon and some Kentucky history in there too. The tasting was fun and the boat ride was relaxing- perfect weather and sunset. Capt’s were so friendly, fun and knowledgeable!

Wonderful Crew, Beautiful View - Fantastic! Beautiful and so interesting! Went to Buffalo Trace earlier and took a river tour later that day. Very interesting to hear the same events from 2 perspectives. Really helped bring history to life! Staff was knowledgeable and entertaining. They love what they do and it shows.
