      Great Experience with SIP Kentucky!
      I organized a work teambuilding outing with 18 people, most of whom were visiting from other states. We wanted a tour that gave the group a flavor of Kentucky. SIP Kentucky was great to work with and accommodated all of our requests. We started out at Buffalo Trace Distillery, had lunch at Limewater Restaurant, visited the Kentucky Horse Park, and ended the trip with a tour of Bulleit Distillery. Our guide Steven was the perfect tour guide....he was personable, professional, knowledgeable about the bourbon distilleries, fun, and took great care of our group. I would not hesitate to use SIP Kentucky again in the future.

      An Amazing Bourbon Tour
      I was looking for a private bourbon tour for my husband as a surprise. So blessed to find Sip Tours. Communication was great from the moment I inquired about the tour. I received a quick response from Marnie, even on Saturday. From that moment on, it was a great experience. I knew two distilleries, Buffalo Trace and Bulleit, that we wanted to visit and she suggested the third, Whiskey Thief. It was a great suggestion as it was so different than the other two. Steven was our guide, was prompt in picking us up. He really made our day perfect. He has a wealth of knowledge to share. We walked all around the property of Buffalo Trace and we were so impressed as he shared the history of the distillery. We then went to a local place for lunch. He had pre-ordered so it was quick with good food. Steven then took us to Bulleit. He assured us that it works be a different experience, and it was. Enjoyed the tour and tasting. Off to Whiskey Thief. He took the scenic route between distilleries so we could experience the Kentucky countryside, which was beautiful. The setting around this distillery is beautiful, and calming with rolling hills and corn fields around you. He found us a table outside as he described the tasting process. Totally different as they serve you out of the barrels. So unique. Steven took great care of us, anticipated every need each step of the way. Very attentive and caring. He gave us ample time at each distillery to shop and look around. He kept us on track without us even realizing it. We cannot recommend this tour enough. We learned so much more about Kentucky and bourbon than we imagined. Hopefully you will be lucky to have Steven. Thank you for an amazing bourbon tour.

      Hassle free Bourbon Country Tour
      The tour was fantastic! It made my trip to bourbon country worth while and I didn’t have to plan any tour routes myself. I can’t recommend this company enough. If you want a knowledgeable and helpful team go with SIP!

      Great Full Day Tour!
      My wife and I took a full day tour with SIP and had a great time. My wife is not really a bourbon drinker, but she still enjoyed her samples and loved the history and information provided at each location. Our guide for the day was Steven, and he was terrific - both providing info on the tour but suggestions for cocktails and dinner after.

      It's hard to explain how great the SIP team does with these tours! If you are a bourbon fan like myself, it was everything to wish for. The tour, transportation, and meal were all top notch!

      Best tour company in town
      Had such a fun day touring with SIP Tours! These guys totally show you a great time. We got to tour 3 different local distilleries and it was the best way to get a feel of Kentucky and it's history. You'll learn so much throughout the day from the SIP Tour guides like Steven and Chris. I am new to the area and I got to meet some really awesome people who gave great recommendations on other activities and parts of the area as well. You spend the day in beautiful country sipping delicious whiskeys with great people. Highly highly recommend touring with SIP Tours.

      Overall incredible day
      I went on a public tour with my husband who just started developing an appreciation for bourbon. It was an amazing experience from beginning to end. I was so glad I didn't have to worry about navigating to different places, especially after the tastings. The pick up was easy, the distilleries were full of lots of information and we got a great education, and the lunch provided was incredible. We loved meeting the other folks that were on tour with us. They were from all over the country visiting Louisville to experience bourbon tasting as well. We could not have had a better day.

      Sipping with Sip Tours
      Great tour, exceeded my expectations in every way. This was an all day tour that visited 3 distilleries (Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill, Jim Beam). The tastings and tours at each location had a different flare. We have formal tasting, drank from the Barrel and got to see the whole behind the scenes process from production to bottling to sipping. Sip shuttled us from location to location in a Mercedes Sprinter van, super nice. The guide provided waters and tons of information between stops. 5 stars all the way!

      5 Star Service - Totally Elevates the Bourbon Experience
      I had the privilege of accompanying Steve and Chris on one of their first tours and couldn't be happier with the experience! The meet up was easy, the vehicle was comfortable, the guys were super friendly and informative, and lunch was fantastic. On top of all those smaller details - the quality of these distillery tours was TOP NOTCH! They are all different and you get a great variety of experiences learning about distilling, whiskey history, some of the science and just the right amount of tastings! I started as a interested but uneducated bourbon drinker and left with such a deeper understanding of the craft, the process, the history and the culture (and with plenty of great whiskeys to add to my tasting list!) -- all from some of the most iconic distillery names in the industry. The tour guides were fun and informative and the day was paced perfectly. Can't wait to recommend to my friends and family. Great job!
