Amazing food tour with local history. Elena was an excellent guide and we got the VIP treatment since it was only the 2 of us. We’ve had tours cancelled before if a minimum number didn’t sign up so bonus points to the tour company.
You won’t walk away hungry!

It was a very interesting history tour, not dry or boring at all. It was so fun to be walking around the city with so many stories to hear. The food was excellent and we were stuffed silly!
Best food tour in Lexington hands down!

This is my third food tour with Bites of the Bluegrass and it never disappoints! We had an amazing time celebrating my Dad’s 75th birthday. Our tour guide, Elaina (sp?) was incredible- so knowledgeable, so kind, so chill/flexible and had amazing recommendations for places all over Lexington! Would highly recommend her!!

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

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

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.
Wonderful Way To See Lexington

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 !!
Great overview of Lexington history

Lilly was a terrific guide (and excellent at walking backwards!). She was knowledgeable, a great speaker, enthusiastic and entertaining! The food stops were great. A lovely visit to downtown Lexington.
