The tour guide was awesome!
But my experience with the company I booked my tour was not very pleasant.
If booking with this company make sure you have no other plans and don’t fall in love with your itinerary because they can’t garante anything they say.
When I booked we’re supposed to go to Churchill downs at 9:00 am then to Woodford distillery, then to Buffalo trace but instead they changed everything to the afternoon then when I called they changed it back to the morning now starting at 8:00 am and changed distilleries!!! They were not bad but not what I paid for.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Mr. Orihuela. If the tour was not what you paid for, Viator or Tripadvisor would have returned your money but they rejected all your requirements.
The tour you book is Churchill Down & Makers Mark (In the tour title specify the names of the distilleries you will visit), you say you book for Buffalo trace and Woodford? (both distilleries are optional). Your tour started at 11:00 at Makers Mark (You had your itinerary 2 weeks before starting the tour) but you asked to start earlier and that is why we changed the tour at 8:30 am (You did this requirement with 8 hours of starting the tour). Finally, we are happy that you had an excellent tour and that the guide Daniel was great.

Bait and switch and no refund!

Let me start by saying our driver Juan was AMAZING!
And Marjorie that booked everything and setup our itinerary was also excellent.
However the tours title said Buffalo Trace and Churchill Downs. All the pictures of Churchill Downs showed horses and kids petting them. They texted me to let me know that they didn’t have enough tickets for BT distillery. I was okay with that especially with Covid going on. During this text exchange setting up our itinerary they sent me a picture of 1792 Full Proof award winning bourbon and part of the itinerary said 1792 tasting. When we got to Barton’s for the tasting it wasn’t Full Proof. It was very cheap Old Barton’s, and 1792 Small Batch. During the Churchill Down tour we never saw a horse anywhere.
Overall we made the most of our tour but it was nothing like advertised.

Perfect!!!

I’ll confess that my friend and I got shut out of a different tour we were interested in taking, but this Bourbon and Derby your turned out to be perfect on all counts!!! Our driver, Juan, was so accommodating and super helpful as we made our way (slowly) through the distillery tours and gift shops. He even took us back to one gift shop so we wouldn’t miss our next tour. He even recommended dishes to have at a restaurant we had reservations for that evening. One of the best, most memorable tours ever!
The only critique I had was in the booking process. It was a little confusing. It’s labeled as Bourbon and Churchill Downs, and I knew CD was an extra charge but thought I had already arranged it. Turns out I didn’t but Juan quickly corrected it for us.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
