Saw art that we would have walked right by if we weren't on this tour.

3.00Would have been nice to know we were having apps before AND after the walk. We would have skipped lunch. Kind of fuzzy details about the art, etc. Did not even hear about the STAND installation. Buffy was delightful, kind and friendly.
Wish we skipped lunch

3.00Our tour guide Buffy was a sweet person. She was very likable. We did not see the installation of the STAND. The details of the art and accompanying monologue was a was a little thin. This tour seems overpriced for what it is. The art galleries at the beginning were interesting. The art in the hotel at the end was magnificent. The appetizers at the beginning of the tour and at the end of the tour were so plentiful that we could have skipped lunch. Aps at the beginning were homemade. Apps at the end were exactly as pictured. As it was we had to cancel dinner reservations because we were so full. It would have been nice to know about both appetizers ahead of time so we could have planned out day better. We loved the city of Lexington. It was our first time there.
This is a great tour for locals too!

5.00This was a wonderful tour through downtown, Lexington and Zack had an amazing amount of insight and background info about the murals, sculptures and galleries we visited. I live here in Lexington and would encourage more locals to do the tour. It’s not just for tourists. Even though I was familiar with many of the installations we visited, I learned a lot and gained different perspectives about each one. Highly, highly recommended!
Zach did an outstanding job leading the tour! A wonderful experience!

5.00Really loved this tour, what a great way to explore downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Reasonably priced & a great experience. The Artist Attic has so many talented creators under the same roof, you may even meet some of them. It was great seeing & getting details on downtown murals. Really enjoyed the rotating art exhibition at 21c hotel. Bonus! Super tasty appetizers provided at the beginning & the end of the tour!
Eureka!

5.00A delightful discovery of Lexington's hidden gems! Kate was very gracious, extremely knowledgeable and quickly brought us up to speed on Lexington's vibrant art scene. Buffy guided us through amazing galleries and explained the backstory of many of the city's impressive murals. Refreshments at 21c were the perfect conclusion to this highly informative and enjoyable tour. We learned so much about this marvelous city and are already planning return trips with others.
