5.00I attended the lipstick & legends tour and learned so much about Lexington! I’m a gluten free vegetarian, and each place we visited was so accommodating. Erin is a phenomenal storyteller. The tour was about 3 hours and very fairly priced.

5.00Amazing 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!

5.00It 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!

5.00This 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!!

5.00Intellectually informative, physically invigorating and culinarily filling. Be prepared to cancel your dinner plans and only require a light breakfast the next day. .
