Bourbon tour - Tour guide was late picking us up so we missed our first tour at 4 Roses. Did get to do the tasting for it at least. He was very pleasant but hard to understand with his accent.

Hectic but enjoyable - Lots of fun distilleries but it was pretty hectic with having so many. The tight times to visit gift shops after a tour ended really make it difficult for our driver and those that wanted to pick up a few bottles. Would maybe recommend just doing the 3 option and also for the company to give a little more buffer time between distilleries.

75% good - Yo yo was really nice, and a good driver. Buffalo Trace was a bit of a mix up. Our time got cut short due to rain & traffic. Driver dropped us off & didn’t give us instructions for process. We got down to gift shop & were promptly escorted back to front to check in. The lady that helped us was really sweet- took us to front of line, golf carted us back to gift shop. All tours sold out, not enough time to look around, long lines to purchase. Would call that one a total loss.

DO NOT RECOMMEND - DO NOT RECOMMEND. The tours were amazing once we got there. For the amount of money you spend and not get what you paid for was ridiculous.
Didn’t pick up at the hotel liked promise and had to drive and then pay to park. Tour was trying to be changed through text messages at the last minute and costing more money. The drivers driving was terrible. Very disappointed will not use anything on trip advisor again!

Read Fine Print and Do More Research! - The title of this tour is extremely misleading. It simply lists a number of random distilleries. It doesn't actually tell you which ones you'll be touring and tasting v. just "visiting". For instance, we went to Woodford, but only to visit the gift shop. Tickets for the tour and tasting were not included and were sold out. So for them to say it's "customizable" is very very misleading as there was no way to tour Woodford once we arrived. They predetermine which distilleries will include a tour and tasting, but they don't let you know until the night before (they emailed me at 10 pm). Felt very unorganized and deliberately misleading.
