Erin is AMAZING! You have to do a tour with her - you'll be engaged the entire time. She's bursting with knowledge, fascinating history, and personality. It's an absolutely pleasure to work with her. 10/10!

My sister and her girlfriend came to Lexington to visit so we planned some outings. I’ve lived in Lexington for much of my life (my sister also) and didn’t really expect to learn anything new about the area. I was so wrong! Very informative and we went to a few places ( food and otherwise) that I had never been to before. Overall great and it was worth the money! We bought cocktails on our own tab as this was not the cocktail tour.

I had never been on a Walking Food Tour before and this one did NOT disappoint. Our guide, Kaylee, was the best. She was knowledgable, enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The tour I went on was a private one set up for my University of Kentucky sorority reunion. Since we all graduated in the mid 1970s, needless to say, we are older women. Lexington has changed a lot and it was wonderful to see how it is thriving along with visiting darling restaurants that provided us with delicious food. The entire experience was delightful - I highly recommend it for fun, delicious food, and to learn about Lexington.

I was part of a group of 20 women who were in Lexington for a college sorority reunion. I was the organizer of the tour. Erin was responsive and very flexible in planning a private tour outside of her regularly scheduled tour times. She was very easy to deal with, and we all appreciated her efforts to provide us with a really fun activity in Lexington. Our Saturday afternoon activity was a Bites of the Bluegrass downtown tour with Caylee. What a fun experience! Caylee was bright and bubbly, and having been a sorority girl at UK, was excited to be leading out group of older (very much older than Caylee) sorority women. The stops were fun, food was good and we learned some fun facts about the history of Lexington. I am looking forward to taking another tour with Bites of the Bluegrass next time I am in Lexington.

Was a lot of fun and very informative . . . our guide, Kaylee, had a lot of knowledge and kept things moving. Maybe a little too fast - - - a little bit more time at each place might have been good as there were times I felt we were literally hurrying to finish. The first and last stops the best and the in between stops were not great. In fact, at the seafood stop, hardly anyone finished the food. I didn't care for mine and not sure if others felt the same or they were full. I am sharing just to ensure your expectations are level set. Lexington is a beautiful city with lots of history. We went on a gorgeous day so that was fabulous!

What a fun tour! Kayleigh, our guide, was a sweetheart, full of energy and information. Learned a lot about the history of Lexington in between some interesting and tasty bites. Our tour was altered, as we had requested an earlier time to start. Thanks for accommodating us and still presenting a fun and delicious time. A good time was had by all.

What a great tour! We booked a private walking/history tour so we could see and do what we were interested in and at our own pace. Erin was so accommodating and delivered exactly what we asked for. Her delivery is so enthusiastic and exciting that you can't help but be drawn into all the history and stories about Lexington. The time went by so fast and at the end we felt we were touring with a friend vs a tour guide we just met. Definitely worth the money and definitely do at beginning of stay so you get a good lay of the land and great food/drink recommendations. Thx for a great time Erin.
