This KY river tour was very interesting, with informative history from Captain Nathan. We were entertained with his stories.

My husband and I enjoyed the river cruise on the Bourbon Belle. Our tour guide was Darryl. He was nice, helpful, and kept the tour nteresting. We enjoyed learning about the history of bourbon and Frankfort. We definitely plan on taking other tours in the future.

The tour guide was really great! We had a very small group so it felt really intimate and like a conversation with our guide (excepting of course that he knew so much more about the area than we did!) Really enjoyed it!

Frankfort, Kentucky, is full of bourbon-based history, and adept raconteur Captain Nathan made the most of it, filling us with facts and anecdotes on the 90-minute Bourbon History Tour. The double-decker tour boat is comfortable and quiet, and the stretch of the Kentucky River we travelled was beautiful on a warm autumn afternoon. I'm a local, and don't really care that much about bourbon (gasp), but I loved every minute of the tour.

Very informative lecture on the river. Family run business that really cares about giving an excellent experience. Lively presentation that gave us a "warm Kentucky hug"

The tour was well worth the price and we would definitely do it again. We recommend this tour for anyone who wants to enjoy the peace and quiet of traveling down the river and learning the local history.

The crew was absolutely amazing. So accomodating and friendly. This was a work outing and everyone raved about how fun it was. We will def be planning this event next year. The boat was really nice too.

Fun & highly recommended! Called their office direct to book & Captain Allison got me booked- super easy !Many different tours are available. Captain Nathan & Captain Allison did great jobs! Captain Nathan knows his history on Frankfort, sipping good old Kentucky Bourbon, distilleries, probably about anything else ya want to know - all while you enjoy riding the riverboat (try to book the upper level) for 1.5 hours.
We had a great time and the weather was perfect! Frankfort is a beautiful, laidback historical town that shouldn't be missed.
