Awesome self-guided experience to the big 4 Kentucky distilleries - We had a wonderful time on this tour! My husband, our couple friends and I have gotten into bourbon tasting over the past year and wanted to take a deep dive into Kentucky bourbon but didn't know where to start. We wanted some structure but weren't interested in getting trapped on a big bus tour. This self-guided audio tour with built in GPS directions struck the perfect balance for us. The stories included in this are really unique and not something you get on the tours at the actual distillery. We were able to pause the tour and take our photos and make extra stops where we wanted without falling behind a group. This is a full day of entertainment, and we were able to spend pennies compared to what the four of us would have had to spend on a private guided tour. This tour was well worth the money and time and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the bourbon trail!

Great GPS Tour-Cool features - The Kentucky Bourbon GPS Guided Tour is an absolute must! This tour is a super well curated journey through the heart of bourbon country, offering an experience that combines so much into it (history, scenery, interviews). From the moment we activated the tour, we were on an easy to drive planned route that took us to some of the best distilleries in the region. The narration was both informative and entertaining. It felt like the guide was in my car with us as the GPS and storyline matched where we were going! We had some friends take a traditional guided tour, which was great for them, but we were able to go at our own speed. Whether we wanted to linger at a distillery, explore a main street, or grab a bite, the GPS guide accommodated our timeline seamlessly. The autonomy made the experience feel so personal. It was so cool.
