    This was a fun tour. I covered a lot of historical information in short time. It was well put together and reasonably priced.

    A must visit in Louisville KY!! The tour comes with general admission. Steve our guide was friendly…read moreand knowledgeable. I learned a lot from him. The tracks, the history, the building itself and the stories about jockeys and horses are all fascinating. The day we went unfortunately the weather was not good. Couldn't get a clear view of the track and landmarks. But it was very exciting to see the actual track. Parking is free. The gift shop is good. Lots merchandise for visitors to browse through. 2 horses in the barn when we visited. The museum itself is wonderful. Many historical information and artifacts. The Secretariat section is on the second floor. The fastest horse. And I learned that he had a bigger heart than any other horses. Might be a factor that he was fast! Absolutely a highlight of our trip in KY. It makes me actually want to come for the Kentucky Derby in May.

The museum has such amazing collection of the history of the event, the trophies, the horses, the jockeys, there was so much to see. There was a magnificent theater that gives the visitor a glimpse of the derby day activities. There a horse riding arcade for kids. A section is dedicated to legendary horse, the Secretary. The general admission comes with a free tour of the Churchill Downs and the race track. We got to be in the grand stand and learn much incredible facts about derby from our tour guide. One of the coolest things to learn was from what position horses won the races the most to least. The gift shop a lot of amazing merchandises, apparels, souvenirs and gift items. The parking was free. We spent about 2.5 hours at the museum. There was a horse barn as well in the back of the main building. It's the top destination for anyone visiting Louisville.

    What a wacky and eclectic place the Frazier Kentucky History Museum is. But, I guess, so is the…read morestate of Kentucky. It's got a varied history. This museum gives visitors several slices of that history, from bourbon and whiskey to racing to the Civil War and the tobacco industry. One of my favorite permanent exhibits is on the second floor. It's a room dedicated to Kentucky bourbon and whiskey called the Bourbon Bottle Hall. It's just a bunch of bottles of whiskey and bourbon on backlit white shelves, but it feels supernatural to step into the room and be surrounded by all of the different bottles. You got everything from your Elijah Craigs to your Pappy Van Winkles. What else? There were Kentucky sports mascot costumes on display, a life-sized wax statue of Colonel Sanders holding a bucket of his Kentucky Fried Chicken with its 11 herbs and spices, a little play area for children, a display of German toy soldiers, a display of costumes made by local students, and lots of other interesting things to look at. The Frazier is good for all ages, but it's mostly a "looking" museum, so there aren't too many interactive things to touch, which is why it might not hold the attention of really young kids. My tween and teenagers liked it, but they were done within about 30 minutes. It's a small museum, but I think it has a lot of cool stuff in it and definitely worth a visit.

I realized im old because i didn't expect the 00's to be antique now... anyway, there were such amazing gowns and simple ones too. I liked the display of who wore the gown.

Our guide, Drew, is extremely knowledgeable in the town and the history of bourbon making. Our three stops were amazing and each was different in bourbon and chocolate.

That combination of on-the-ground local knowledge and deep civic history is something you simply won't find anywhere else. On this two-hour tour, you'll visit three distilleries along Whiskey Row, with tastings included at every stop. Depending on the day, your stops may include Bardstown Bourbon Company, Buzzard's Roost, Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, and Barrels & Billets — all within walking distance of each other in the heart of downtown Louisville. But this isn't just a tasting tour. As you walk the same cast iron storefronts that date back to the 1800s, Drew connects the bourbon in your glass to the history beneath your feet — from Prohibition and river commerce to the distillers who made Kentucky famous worldwide. Tours depart from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® Welcome Center inside the Frazier History Museum at 829 W. Main Street. $129/person, tastings included. Available Thursday through Sunday, March through October. Walk. Sip. Learn.

    Now THIS is why you should go to Louisville. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of…read morehospitality and I signed up for a bourbon tour with Greta a few weeks before our trip here. Our expectations were probably middle of the road going in; I'm honestly not sure how much research my chum did on this one (this was all her) but we were both a little apprehensive that this might be overrated and too touristy. But if you legitimately enjoy bourbon, are willing to drink it throughout an afternoon and want to have a few more talking points when the topic comes up - check, check and check - this was fantastic and worth the money. The tour packed a lot in during its roughly three hours. The specific reason we chose this one was because it included a visit to Angel's Envy, our favorite bourbon, but it also had stops at Bourbon Barrel Foods, Whiskey Thief and Chicken Cock. These were all within roughly five or 10 minutes of one another, pretty much on the eastern side of Downtown and around Butchertown. The weather was atrocious (raining pretty much the entire time) but we had a handy dandy trolley with us to save the day. I can't say enough about Angel's Envy and how impressive this distillery was. To me it was the unequivocal star of the show and we probably spent the most time here, at least in terms of really learning about bourbon and doing tour shizzle. It's just a gorgeous facility, and if you've ever driven through SE Kentucky wondering where all the money is, I found it. After the tour, we came back here for two hours and bought a lot of bourbon and swag to bring back home. We had the great fortune of getting Paula on our tour, who knows her bourbon and provided a ton of interesting insights about the creation of bourbon and just some general facts that we didn't know. I liked that the reason bourbon is basically just in KY has a lot to do with their soil/water, which ties in pretty closely with the trip we took the prior day to Mammoth Cave; like those passageways, everything is connected. Bourbon Barrel Foods was probably the weakest part of the tour if there was one, just because they didn't have a lot to bring to the table in terms of specific bourbon. It's pretty much just there as a stop to get a little food in you (not a bad thing AT ALL) while also offering you a $5 Old Fashioned, which we both took advantage of. Cute little bar/boutique store with a lot of bourbon-influenced bougie condiments and food stuffs for purchase, and the Old Fashioned was fine. We then went to pretty much just a wine store nearby (not sure about the name) where our guide Greta got a chance to shine with some more facts about bourbon, obviously drink some more and also gnaw on some artisanal cheese. By the time we got to Whiskey Thief, everyone was pretty rosy-cheeked and having a good time. This was strategically a really wily stop because you basically just hung out for half an hour drinking another cocktail (not sure but I don't think this was exactly an Old Fashioned, but more of a summer/fruity variation perhaps? Who knows. I'd had a few.), sampling some sauces/crackers and meeting Bourbon Tour Canine Chum Betty, who was a true professional and lover of the rump rub. An excellent addition to any distillery. But just an awesome stop, and we were starting to legit hang out with other people on the tour; I had a rousing 20-minute conversation with a fellow from Ohio who also had some real issues with how the Cincinnati Reds have been run over the last few decades. The Big Red Machine is sadly a distant memory. Anyway. The tour ended at Chicken Cock, which had a great vibe to go with its name. I was definitely pretty toasty by this point, as was my chum, and this is probably the best place to remind you that it's REALLY easy to get drunk on this tour. I was very proactive in seizing every food opportunity and keeping very hydrated, which for sure helped, but I also didn't really say no to any of the bourbon samples. So if that's a legitimate concern for you, just pick and choose your moments. One or two more might have been a problem, but the tour and its accompanying drinks were spread out enough not to do too much damage to me. Just know your limits, etc. Really great group too; I'm sure even if they'd been atrocious I would have liked them by Chicken Cock. This tour cost about $200 - your mileage may vary on the price, but we thought it was 100% worth it to get so much perspective on a spirit we've really grown to love over the past few years and of course to set foot in the Mother Ship aka Angel's Envy. And because it's pricier, you're not getting low-class lushes here - everyone was respectful and just cool people to spend time with. We had a bachelor party in our group from Scranton, PA, and they couldn't be nicer - and one of them worked at the arena where I saw Third Eye Blind in 2000! Wild times. Bourbon rocks. This tour rocks.

Christina is an engaging storyteller in addition to her fun and comical personality. Only 3 of us on the tour with Christina so it was small and intimate. I appreciate the audio earpiece to hear Christina clearly throughout the tour. We got to ask tons of questions and spent just enough time in each location to learn, eat, and drink. We also took many photos along the journey without being rushed and she uploaded them on a convenient link for us to download later. The 3 hours went by so fast but I felt like we got a great taste of famous Louisville dishes, drinks, and dessert. I was full and satisfied, which my taste buds and belly appreciated the larger portions. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend for visitors and locals. Thanks, Christina!
