Well after getting an email from trip advisor that our tour was canceled the day before we were coming to Louisville, I thought our trip was going to be a bust. I talked to Nick from this private tour company, and he found some availability for us on a bourbon tour and for another tasting. He spent close to an hour with me on the phone while he was checking on tour possibilities for us for the very next day! I cannot express my appreciation enough for all of his help! Oh and he did it free of charge!!!! You can believe the next time we plan on doing any tours in Louisville, we will be looking him up to help us. Hopefully farther in advance then the evening before!????Thanks again Nick for all your help!!

I love this place this is my favorite place to go during the summer. We've been every year for at least the last 6 years. My family also went this year as well,2020 but I did not attend with them. I love the petting zoo, and a beach area where you can swim,fish,or rent boats. They have life jackets and some activities require you to wear them. It's alot of fun for all ages of the family. You can bring RV'S, rent cabins, or even rent a plot and set up tents. The have a public restroom with showers and sinks and stalls for males and females at the main entrance. There is plenty of room to explore, hiking, see wild animals. But enough privacy to have a party weekend with your friends, no problem. All this fun, adventure,experience, and vacation time all of us have to spend during the Coronavirus. This is the perfect place for everything listed above and still Social Distance yourself from others!!! I promise you won't forget this trip... It may jus become your family tradition also!????????????????????????????????????

I’d give 0 stars if I could. My girlfriend booked this tour for our anniversary. We waited 30 minutes in the rain for someone to pick us up. Unfortunately, no one ever came. I would not recommend this company as they never even picked up the phone (we called all numbers listed.)
