Highly Recommend - This tour with Erin was so much fun! Her knowledge of Lexington and its history is detailed and super informative. A note that sharing history includes different aspects of history - there was nothing political in this tour. The food, which just keeps coming, showcases local eateries that are diverse and high quality. Would recommend this company and experience to anyone.

Fantastic opportunity - The tour was great but our tour guide Kaylee (sp?) was fantastic! She was full of energy, laughter and knowledge. The food was very good and I appreciate the gluten free options. Everyone who lives or comes to Lexington to visit should take one of these tours.

Great Fun for Group of Old Friends! - The variety of food is great altho heavy on the carbs. One of the restaurants, Zim's, I would definitely return to for a regular meal. I went to college at UK but really didn't know any of the history that we learned on the tour. Cayley is a great guide. Would highly recommend this tour!
