Very much enjoyed all parts of the tour. Churchill Downs was very informative and they had a special exhibit on the Secretariat. Makers mark was a little ways away but so worth going to .. the tour was very thorough and the art was amazing . Obviously bourbon was good too !

Our driver Onel was excellent. We did have an issue at four roses but it was nothing to do with the tour and more to do with an external issue that forced us to stay longer and we missed the tour at bulleit because of it. Otherwise everything was great

This was horrible! Our driver showed up in a vehicle with a stained seat. We were dropped off at Churchill Downs and the tour was only 20 minutes long when we were told it would be a tour of the entire facility. When we inquired at the front desk to see if there was some sort of mistake we were told we had been booked on the basic tour and it cost only $20.00! That is not what we paid for through trip advisor. We decided to go ahead a look through the museum but our driver texted me and said we have to hurry and leave so or we would not make it to the distillery tour portion in time. So we got back in the car and headed out. After about 15 minutes, we started to wonder where we were going. The driver said nothing and just handed us pamphlets for a distillery. It was not one of the distilleries listed on the website. Also, it was an hour away! we asked the drive what was going on and he didn't respond. We started to get nervous. We followed the route to the distillery on our phones the whole way. We got to the distillery and got checked in. Our driver checked in for the tour as well! We asked him if he was going on the tour too and he nodded yes. We exclaimed "your our driver! you can't drink!". He just shrugged and we said this is not ok! Then we get inside we find out that the tour does not start for another hour! We stopped our driver and said "wait, why did you say we had to hurry or we would be late?" . He replied "we can go to the bar and get some drinks". at that point we decided this was not a safe situation and ran away from him. We found a staff member of the distillery ans asked for help. We explained the situation and he agreed it was weird. We told him we had paid $239.00 each for this tour and he stopped us and said "why? this tour is free". At this point we were sure we were being scammed or something. I texted the tour coordinator and told her all of this and that we were canceling this farce of a tour. She replied"Excuse me? please go to your driver. He is waiting in the parking lot". That made no sense. The driver was in fact, lurking behind a display case and watching us. We asked the staff member if he could help us get away from this creep of a driver and he kindly helped us. The driver took off at this point. In the end, we were scammed out of a lot of money, stranded and had to have a friend come and get us but we were at least safe. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can contact someone to get a refund.

BEWARE, DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE A SOLO TRAVELER. i booked my tour approximately 2 months ago and last night I received an email (text) that they were cancelling my reservation because I was a solo traveler. My trip is planned for a week from today!!!!!!!1. I could not believe my eyes. REALLY??? Why did you let me book the reservation in the first place??? The tour was my specific reason for planning a trip to Louisville. I book my flight and reserved and paid for my VBRO rental (which are not refundable at this point in time). I am so offended and angry, this is discrimination again single people (widow's) who want and can travel solo. They refunded my tour cost, but what about the $1,000 plus expenses I must eat, because I was tricked into booking a solo ticket for the tour (Churchill Downs and Makers Mark distillery).

Had a really bad experience. We booked this for Churchill downs and Bulleit bourbon tour and tasting. I had requested that we only need tasting for one person as my wife was not in a position to drink and that she is only looking to do the tour. I was told that is not possible and we need to do both do the tasting as well if we want to do the tour. This was okay if we at least got to do the tour. But when we reached Bulleit we were told that the tour was never available due to scheduled maintenance. We wasted 4 hours and my wife literally did nothing but accompany me. For which they say alright we will refund the tour price in Bulleit - Really? We would have never done the tour if we knew the distillery tour was not there. Please don't trust these guys they don't know what is happening.

Onel our driver was fantastic. He catered to our every wish. That being said the experience was over priced. The Makers Mark tour was good, Churchill Downs was very short, but it was nice to see the track and hear some history. My advice drive yourself and save yourself lots of time and money.

The Makers Mark tour was fantastic! Beautiful property and great guided tour with Chris. The tasting was nice, but don’t miss an Apple Butter Old Fashioned. The grounds are spectacular! Frankly, the Churchill Downs Walking Tour was a waste of time. The guide was very knowledgeable, but we fully expected to see more of the grounds. We actually saw very little. The film in the Museum Hall afterword was the highlight. There are other tour options you can book directly through Churchill Downs that would have been far better. I would have rated this tour a three were it not for our driver, Barbara. What a delightful person with a wealth of knowledge for the short time she has been here. In addition to our scheduled stops she surprised us with two other short, but appreciated stops including lunch (Not a part of the tour) at Jim Beam. Thanks Barbara!

The driver for the tour was absolutely nice and very polite. However this tour was over priced at $478 for two persons. The Derby entry was a $17/per person fee and $12/per person for the bourbon tasting (included in the $478). We could have just ordered our own Uber and saved a couple of hundred dollars

Churchill Downs was impressive. Learned a lot about previous winners and how they are cared for. Bourbon tour was very tasty and interesting.
