Horse and Barrel Tours — Local services in Lexington

We chose the 5 Star Bardstown Tour while in town for the Kentucky Oaks race. When booking from home, I struggled with our bank to allow the charge to go through...the fraud department is awesome with what they do, but it was frustrating to be unable to book a tour after telling the bank multiple times it was not fraud. Abe, the owner of the company, assured me that our reservation was secure, and worked patiently with me and my bank to get our payment. The day of our tour, Abe picked us up at our Air BnB and started the morning for us, then Bill took over for the majority of the tour. We went to all of the distilleries on the agenda, plus an additional 2 that we chose en route. Abe and Bill are so personable and we had a blast with them. They are a wealth of knowledge, and shared a ton of tidbits with us...as well as taking photos of our group all day! We would highly recommend Horse and Barrel Tours, and will use them again if we revisit the...

This past Saturday we did the Five Star Lexington tour with Bill. Our day started out with a “Biscuit & Bourbon” sampling at their tasting room with the owner Abe. Both gentlemen and were incredibly personable and knowledgeable, and their facility was so cozy and inviting! We were told first thing that Buffalo Trace was closed due to the current flooding & while we were very bummed about that, I have to say that by the end of the day I forgot that we missed out on anything at all. Bill made our day so special and unique, and more than made up for missing that experience! He was fun, funny, a wealth of knowledge about bourbon, local history, horses, and so much more. He insisted on holding all of our gift bags, taking great photos of us at every stop, holding doors for us, and treated us like old friends. In fact by the end of our 9 hour day he did feel like a friend! Top notch service and tour. Highly recommend this experience to anyone...

Just amazing! My husband and I loved our private tour from start to finish! Our guide, Abe, was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We came to the Lexington/Frankfort area to explore some of our favorite bourbon distilleries. The day was planned out for us perfectly according to our interests, and we did not feel hurried at any point, as Abe planned a sufficient amount of time between our stops. He knew so much about the area that we even enjoyed the drives between our stops, as he shared with us about the many horse farms and landmarks. The tour van was immaculate and safely navigated during our travels that day. And the spot he planned for our lunch was perfect, as well. If you are considering a bourbon tour (which you should!), Horse & Barrel Tours is the perfect way to go, in our very...
