5.00My husband and I visited the area for a long weekend and are very new to bourbon tasting. We chose this tour due to the positive reviews. So glad we did! Our driver was Jorg and he was great! Pre -tour communication was good through the Tripadvisor app. We discussed our preferred distilleries, and which had availability for the day of the tour. Our tour then included tours/tastings at Four Roses (my favorite), Whiskey Thief (bottle your own right from the barrel), and Buffalo Trace. We also had time in between for quick gift shop stops at a couple others along the way! Jorg was very personable and provided great information about each distillery while on our drive. We really appreciated the drop off at each distillery as well…Jorg would walk us in and get us checked in, so we did not have to figure out where to go ourselves. That was just a very nice touch! There was also time to grab lunch during the day which we did at Whiskey Thief while we were there. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00We had a great last-minute trip idea for bourbon tasting which happened so smoothly thanks to Viator Bourbon Bites Tour. Our guide/host was Belkis and she was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and so helpful and super friendly! The tours went smoothly and a lot of Bourbon was purchased by all. Ha! When we return to Louisville we will probably do some more tours with this group as it was top-notch and not overpriced plus such a smooth service. Thank you Belkis and Viator Bourbon Bites!!

5.00We did the bourbon abs bites tour with Belkis. She was AMAZING and we had such a great day. One of our friends wanted to add another stop to a 4th distillery and she obliged. While there we all got our bottles autographed by the legendary MASTER Distiller himself Mr Jimmy Russell. Belkis thank you so much for such a beautiful day. It was like Christmas morning for an adult. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 6/5 stars. Highly recommend.
