Traveler reviews
Lots of information
It was a very informative trip. Learn so much about Thoroughbreds and this industry. Beautiful farms and horses.
Sure is hot!
For a nearly 100 degree day our guide did a super job of finding shade wherever she could. She has a wealth of knowledge and personal experiences to share. The a/c in our van was poor but we made it. A good value for the trip and glad we did it!
The tour was about 3...
The tour was about 3 hours long. We drove to several different farms & a racetrack. Even for someone like myself, who doesn't know much about horses.. it was extremely enjoyable and very educational! Tim was a fantastic guide!!
Horse lovers will appreciate this tour.
Horses were amazing!! Watching them practice at Keeneland was really fun. The babies—- OMG I wanted to stay there all day. Our guide gave us lots of information and time to enjoy the sights and even gave us lunch recommendations which we took him up on and it was delicious. They only suggestion I would have is get the air conditioner checked on that van. It was very warm inside as we travelled to the different locations.
It’s a nice experience...
It’s a nice experience with lots of knowledge about Lexington and the horse industry. Ask questions as it is a very laid back, but knowledgeable experience. Our tour guide Nicholas was very nice and professional-he knows everything about horses. There isn’t much walking, but you do get hands on and close up with beautiful Thoroughbreds. It’s a very nice experience.
