1.00I was very disappointed with this tour. My time was 4:00 and was supposed to be a 2 hour tour. When I got to the museum I was informed my ticket was just for the museum and the museum closed at 5:00. Had I just gone to the museum it would have been less money and I would have had the same experience. I don’t see a need to buy a viator ticket for this event. I have done multiple viator tours over the years and never have an issue like this. I felt that this particular tour was a waste of money and totally not necessary.

5.00Great learning about the history of Churchill Downs and getting a great look at the grounds. Harold was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories! We went back today (2 days later) to the races and felt much better prepared. One suggestion would be to have some swivel chairs for us older folks to sit on during the excellent video presentation.
