TOURS BY KENTUCKY GUIDES
ABOUT KENTUCKY GUIDES
Now, with 15 years of experience guiding visitors around Kentucky Distilleries, horse farms, cities, rivers, and small towns, Bob’s product is his experienced background. He’s not just a driver & vehicle, nor just a concierge.
Our guided tours are customized to the wants and needs of each unique group.
We do have our favorite destinations, but guests usually have must-sees of their own to include. Together, we build the ideal tour for their group.

KENTUCKY GUIDES EXPERIENCE
Kentucky Guides limits groups to 14 or fewer. Smaller groups are nimble, making impromptu stops, and last-minute adjustments possible. Less is truly more when it comes to quality guided tours.
Kentucky Guides offers a step-on guide service for larger groups and motor coaches for groups interested in learning more about Bourbon Country, the City of Louisville, or the small towns of Bardstown & Frankfort.

KENTUCKY GUIDES’ STANDARDS
Kentucky Guides is Commercially-licensed with a properly insured fleet authorized to conduct business as a transportation company in the State of Kentucky.
Many businesses selling “tours” do not have these basic standards.
As a CDL driver, Kentucky Guides undergoes an annual DOT Medical Exam, background check, and drug test – something few others comply with, nor take the effort to satisfy basic standards.
So, in addition to their experience and knowledge, guests can also be assured that they are riding with a safe, legal, and more-than-capable planner/guide/driver.
See y’all in Bourbon Country!
