Choose to have a private tour with your own van and driver. Tell us where you want to go and we will plan an unforgettable day for you! This is great for family get-togethers, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette, etc. You name it; we’ll do it (as long as it’s legal).
I know it’s hard to believe but Kentucky is not totally about the bourbon! (gasp) We can customize day trips to show you more reasons why the Bluegrass State is so fabulous. From horse farms, Kentucky Derby Museum, Muhammed Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Museum, local wineries, craft beers, museums, boutique shopping, state and national parks (did you know Abraham Lincoln was born in KY?).
