Mint Julep Experiences provides a safe and entertaining way to experience the bourbon distilleries in and around Louisville. The hosts share their extensive knowledge of the city, the sights, the restaurants and the distilleries. We highly recommend this service. Holly and Cindy are the BEST!!! We chose to do a public tour since it was just two of us. It didn’t take long to feel like everyone else on the tour was a longtime friend.

My husband and I did the Boozy Brunch, Buffalo Trace & Kentucky Artisan Tour in early December—just after Repeal Day, with the first snow of the season on the ground—and it was absolutely exceptional. Cindy, our guide, was fantastic from start to finish. She took care of us like family, listened to what interested us, and adjusted the day with such ease that it felt as if the experience had been designed just for us. Her passion for the region and the industry came through in every story she shared—tales of owners, master distillers, and the personalities behind the bourbon heritage that truly brought Kentucky to life. As we traveled from Louisville to Frankfort, Cindy filled in our knowledge well beyond the basics. Her strong relationships along the route opened doors to wonderful recommendations and small touches that made the day feel special. We loved the contrast between Kentucky Artisan and Buffalo Trace—two very different experiences that gave our tour richness and breadth. The behind-the-scenes insights at both stops were highlights. The vehicle was luxurious, and the pacing was perfect: unhurried, seamless, and thoughtfully planned. We never felt rushed or like we missed anything. We also loved starting the day at Bar Vetti in NuLu. If you go, get the breakfast sausage with your dish—the egg custard in the McVetti sandwich was delicious (and I don’t usually even like egg!). We highly recommend Mint Julep Tours, and especially Cindy. She made our day unforgettable, and we would book with her again in a heartbeat.

We had the best experience this past weekend with Mint Julep Tours. From the planning to the day itself everything went smoothly. Abby helped us plan an event for 31 people to celebrate our friend’s birthday. We went to Whiskey Thief, Woodford Reserve, Castle and Key, and Buffalo Trace. Cindy was a fabulous tour guide sharing so much info and had us laughing. Our driver Mike was great too. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off on schedule and truly it was an amazing day. Thank you. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Tom from Mint Julep Bourbon Tours exceeded expectations. Tom’s warm and friendly personality made the day enjoyable from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable about bourbon and the distilleries, and the way he shared his personal knowledge and experiences gave the tour an authentic and memorable touch. Tom went above and beyond by adding an extra stop to our tour, giving us an even richer experience of Kentucky bourbon country. His thoughtfulness and dedication to ensuring we had the best possible time made all the difference. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for an engaging, professional, and personable guide with Mint Julep.
