Fascinating history and great food! - What a great way to spend an afternoon in Lexington! Kay welcomed us to the city and led an informative, fascinating food and history tour. She charmed our group with her knowledge and anecdotes about Lexington’s history. The food (and there was a lot of it) was terrific and varied, ranging from traditional Kentucky dishes to local takes on a variety of international flavors. We loved the mix of history and culture. This is best food tour we’ve ever been on, and Kay is a gifted guide!

Not Recommended - Not the best experience. Tour guide talked more about politics than food. The food was dry and we were not impressed. One stop was in a hotel and one stop appeared to be in a friend’s store that had nothing to do with food.
