    Loved the stories told by the historian. Drinks were very good (I was introduced to the bourbon cream root beer float- yum!) and ride was smooth. Also love that they partner with Buffalo Trace on distillery tours. I was very excited to book this as an option after finding that there were no tours still available directly through Buffalo Trace during my travel dates. Worked out very well!

    My husband and I had an excellent time on the old Taylor tour. It was a very hot day, but there was plenty of shade on the top of the boat and the breeze from the water was helpful to cool everything down. Darrell was the narrator on our trip and he was excellent. He provided plenty of information about Buffalo trace and about what we were experiencing and saw on the water. After the boat tour was completed, everyone got in their own cars and headed up to Buffalo trace distillery for the walking tour. The distillery is only five minutes away by car. Allison & the Boat Captain were very friendly & attentive. This is not a tour for children. I would highly recommend this tour as it was very relaxing and very informative.

    Amazing experience. The crew was great and Darrel was a wealth of knowledge and relayed it in a fun energetic way. The tour at Buffalo Trace was also great with Tyree who was also an amazing guide!

    This was our third Kentucky River cruise tour. We were celebrating our son's birthday with a tour of Buffalo Trace first. As always, the tour was excellent. Nathan gives a great history of Kentucky, the river, and its surroundings.

    Buffalo Trace Distillery

    Take a walk through bourbon history alongside E.H. Taylor Jr., the man who revolutionized the industry. From the Old Taylor House; to the OFC Building and OFC Fermenter #7, nicknamed “Old Taylor”; and finally to Warehouse C, you will see both the remnants and still-standing structures of what Taylor built, learn about his desire for perfection and purity in the bourbon making processes, and how he helped craft the industry as it is today. Tour route includes stairs and there is a lot of walking involved. Comfortable shoes and clothing are recommended. Those with acrophobia and/or fear of walking across metal grates may want to seek a different tour. For safety purposes, this tour is not available for guests under 12 years old. This tour route is not ADA accessible. This tour includes a tasting of some of our award-winning products.
