Intellectually informative, physically invigorating and culinarily filling. Be prepared to cancel your dinner plans and only require a light breakfast the next day. .

We had a great time spending a beautiful Sunday afternoon trying new restaurants and some local history. Be sure to go hungry!

This 3-hour walking tour of Lexington is fun and informative. Probably not great for kids, but a good way to spend an afternoon!

Best food tour we have ever been on. She was so knowledgeable and can't wait to go back and do another one of her tours with her.

Absolutely an amazing food and historical tour of downtown Lexington. Our fearless tour guide, Lilly, was informative, energetic, and knowledgeable. Her passion is undeniable -- even on a very rainy day. A "must-do" while in Lexington. Food at the multiple establishments was excellent and opened my eyes to new restaurants to visit when seeing my daughter at UK.

So this is my 4th tour with Bites of the Bluegrass. They have all been amazing and interesting with terrific food !! Each time a new restaurant may be added or a new bit of information about Lexington or someone from Lexington. The tour guides are always great. They are full of information and very professional and personable. I am from NC and visit family in KY two to three times a year and I go on the tour at least once a year. That’s just how good it is and how much I enjoy it. I hope if you are visiting Lexington, that you will take the time to explore and experience Bites of Bluegrass! You will love it !!

Had a very nice tour on a great weather day in downtown Lexington. Was a small group, just one couple and my adult daughter and I. Elena was our tour guide and she did a great job, knew her information and made it personal. I am almost hesitant to say we had too much food. Definitely come hungry! We enjoyed each one of our stops and is interesting to know that they do a different tour/direction/stops each day of the week.Would highly recommend!
