        Great trip! Great guide!
        We used Travel the Trail for a group of 6 and it was worth every penny! Bob was so friendly and knowledgeable and the trip was very well organized from the planning to execution! When we weren’t able to make a tasting because of long lines and time restraints Bob went above and beyond & brought the tasting to us! I would highly recommend!

        Andy took our group of 9 out for the day and was absolutely fantastic! He offered suggestions for us and was very accommodating to our requests. He is very knowledgeable regarding various distilleries and the industry as a whole. I will absolutely be recommending Travel the Trail and Andy French to friends. Thanks Andy!

        50th birthday bourbon tour
        Rob was an excellent guide, he arrived on time, very polite and he had water and snacks in the van for all guests. We arrived on time for all our tours and tastings and checked us in at each place. Rob made suggestions for certain areas to stop and take pictures and was very knowledgeable about the history of each area we were going though. Travel the trails is a top notch company that I would suggest to anyone and will use when we come back for our next trip.

        Great way to travel the bourbon trail!
        Lee took a group of 7 of us on the bourbon trail. I would highly recommend going with him. We sent him a list of places we wanted to visit and he did all the leg work booking the stops and handling all the logistics. He even added a stop that we never would have known about that was a fun contrast from the big commercial bourbons we did earlier in the day. He picked us up and arrived right when he said he would. He also picked a great local place to stop for lunch. He was very responsive while setting it up and definitely knew his stuff about bourbon and Kentucky in general.

        Lee is the best!
        Lee is just the nicest! I was trying to plan a big surprise trip for my husband, and he helped me figure out everything for a larger group, then when things changed, he helped me figure out everything for a trip for us just two. Unfortunately we had some last minute things come up and had to cancel, but Lee was so understanding and kind. We will definitely be doing a tour with him some day soon!

        Lots of fun at Travel the Trail with Bob our tour guide
        After a conversation with Lee at Travel theTrail, he set us up with the perfect tour. Our tour guide, Bob, arrived right on time, was very knowledgeable and courteous and steered us right at every turn. He even recommended places and things to do in Louisville. We could not have had a better personal experience. Thanks again Bob and Lee.

        Great tour provider, great prices, and Lee is awesome!
        We had a group of 6 people going on a full day tour with Lee. He is so informative (I don't remember a single question we had that he didn't know the answer to and then some!). The prices are fantastic and Lee was very flexible to help us create a perfect, customized day. I talked to all of the big tour companies, and I'm so glad I finally made it to Travel the Trail.

        50th Celebration!
        Travel the Trail was an excellent choice for our tour guide. Bob was our driver and was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The vehicle was very comfortable and even though we picked distilleries that were spread out, our drive few by. We were aloud to bring drinks and snacks for the drive. I would choose Travel the Trail and Bob everytime and highly recommend them. Thank you Bob and Travel the Trail!

        The only way to visit the Bourbon Trail!
        Rob was our driver and he was grea! Very professional and full of knowledge. He took us to Four Roses, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey with lunch in between. Even though there were a few glitches in the day, he took care of all the details. Would highly recommend Travel and Trail and would definitely use them again.

      I could not recommend Travel the Trail enough! Lee was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the planning process and really lined up a perfect day for a group of 13. Our tour coordinator Bob was energetic, passionate, knowledgeable, and extremely personable. We truly appreciated Bob's flexibility and he did an unbelievable job of keeping our group on schedule without feeling rushed for one minute. I highly recommend Travel the Trail to anyone looking for an authentic, personalized trip!

      We spent two days touring the rolling hills of bourbon country with Lee. He was punctual, professional and I would highly recommend him and his team. We enjoyed our customized private tour, all arranged by Lee. Really appreciated our conversations and all of his knowledge about bourbon and the area. Highly recommend!!!

      We had a group of five and I’m thrilled that I booked our tour with Lee at Travel the Trail. He set our itinerary for both Friday and Saturday for two full days of bourbon tastings.We had the pleasure to have “ Bobby Trace” as our guide. He was always on time, informative and kept us on schedule. He purchased our lunches while we did the tours so we could get to an additional distillery. He shared his wealth of knowledge about the area and kept conversation flowing smoothly.
      In closing I would highly recommend this tour company.

      I cannot rate these guys high enough! I booked Travel the Trail for a bachelor party of 8, and we had a great time! I priced out 5 different companies, and Travel the Trail was the best value, and Lee was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. Lunch was included, which was huge! Lee was even really accommodating when we had a guy cancel on us less than 3 days out (let him know right away if that happens!).

      We had Rob as our tour guide, and he was awesome! Rob did a masterful job at keeping us organized and on schedule all day which was definitely a challenge as the day went on! Rob knew a lot about Louisville, the bourbon trail and the specific distilleries we went to. We did: Heaven Hill Connoisseur tasting, a tour at Willett, and the Barrel Thieving Tour at Bardstown Bourbon Company. All of them are must-visits! Rob had some good tips for stuff to look out for at each of the places which really added to the overall experience.

      I'll be back on the bourbon trail, and I'll definitely book with them again!

      I loved how our trip was organized with the locations and amount of tours and tastings. We started with a tour that laid the groundwork about bourbon to help our group fully appreciate the tastings for the remainder of the trip. The tours/tastings were scheduled so that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves at one place, yet flexible enough to add other adventures spontaneously. Our driver, Bob, was knowledgeable and very friendly! He offered wisdom of bourbon and the surrounding area, snacks and drinks, and great suggestions! I highly recommend this tour!

      We booked a tour for Saturday, April 10, 2021 for four couples and we had such a great time! Rob was so friendly, helpful, and fun to spend the day with, and Lee did an awesome job of setting up our day tour. The distilleries, including a small batch distiller, and the restaurant were all much enjoyed. Thank you for an awesome day of wonderful memory making!

      Cannot speak highly enough of Travel the Trail and Lee. Having Lee as your guide is like taking a tour with your grandfather, and I mean that in the best possible way. He's got all kinds of great information to share between stops, and could not be a more welcoming host. We were also the first tour to get a tasting in his new office (which he built himself - it's a great space), and he designed a great custom tasting there to start the say. I would 100% recommend Travel the Trail to anyone looking to do a bourbon tour.

      My grandfather was a great storyteller and teacher, so I appreciate the compliment. I am very glad you enjoyed the day's itinerary. I was excited to set up the private tasting for you to go along with our visits to Heaven Hill and Maker's Mark. Great meeting you and your wife. Thanks for choosing Travel the Trail Tours for your Bourbon Tour Experience.

      Lee was very knowledgeable and friendly. Extremely easy to book the tour with him and he was well organized. During this time of COVID, he was extremely careful. We were appropriately spaced out and not crowded. We saw the Mint Julep van pull up and they were packed in like sardines. So glad we went with Lee for this reason. We will definitely be a repeat customer!

      We were looking for a private tour (just us two). Recommended by a friend over the big guys - Lee put together an affordable package tailored to the distilleries we most enjoy. Each experience was a little different and all close together in Bardstown with a great lunch included in the trip. The driver, Rob, was local and top notch. Relaxed pace, plenty of local history and some anecdotes made the travel time even more enjoyable. Punctual pickup at our Hotel (Distil). Rob gave me some tips as to bourbon shops downtown that carried brand I just can't get at home. We waited out the pandemic to do this and were comfortable every where we went. A great experience. If you are visiting Louisville area, make Travel the Trail part of your itinerary ....you won't regret it.

      If you are headed to the Bourbon Trail look no further than Travel the Trail for your bourbon trail needs. From start to finish, and even then some! I worked with Lee for several months putting together just the right tour for my party of 6, Lee made everything work!

      Lee readily gave me advice on what distilleries to tour and which to taste, all the while making it work with timing ... which is not as easy as it seems!

      Rob showed up at our hotel on Thursday morning right on time! Prior to that he texted to let me know he was on his way. We began our tasting at Woodford Reserve which was an hour and half away. Rob was very knowledgeable and gave us all sort of knowledge along the way. We made great time so Rob drove us by Castle & Key and told us their story. A nice bonus. thanks Rob!

      From there we went and had lunch and Rob took us to a great place. Rob fit in so well with our group.

      We tasted next at Four Roses and while we were sort of underwhelmed with their bourbon (although I have a bottle on my bar) this was a distillery that sold me via their website. Plus the timing fit into our itinerary.

      We finished our day at Buffalo Trace and while we were touring and tasting Rob was kind enough to have the van parked in the shade and had it all cooled down by the time we headed back to the van.

      But it didn't end there! On our drive back to the hotel I told Rob that the next day we were going to be touring and tasting at Jim Beam (It's a must do if you are heading to the bourbon trail). The next morning I got a text from Rob telling us that he hopes we enjoy our day and to have a great time at Jim Beam! Now that is above and beyond! We texted back and forth throughout the day about our findings. In fact today, I got a text from Rob wishing us safe travels home!

      Great company to work with and great people!
