Louisville

Welcome to Louisville

Louisville Kentucky, home of legendary Churchill Down and the Kentucky Derby, is the perfect destination for lovers of horses, American whiskey, Southern food, and baseball. Try fine spirits along America’s only Urban Bourbon Trail, visit craft breweries, and sample regional treats like classic fried chicken and the Hot Brown sandwich, an open-faced, sauce-covered stack of sliced turkey and bacon invented at the Brown Hotel in 1926. Burn it all off visiting the Louisville Slugger baseball bat factory and museum, walking through Old Louisville, the nation’s largest preserved Victorian-era neighborhood, or strolling to another state across the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge over the Ohio River to Indiana.

Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, Pappy & Co. and Rabbit Hole Bourbon Tour
jrmocny, Jul 2026
Expecting a 10; received a 20
Bobby and Holly were excellent host and driver. They were very concerned for our safety and comfort since it was very hot and we are in our mid-eighties. They provided everyone with water, great historical information and a delicious lunch en route. The tour was extremely well organized, time for shopping adequate and the host and driver most congenial. This tour was a 20 on a scale of 1-10 and is highly recommended. One of the best vacation destinations ever!

This is an excellent experience. The guided tour is well done and can really be helpful to someone without a lot of knowledge about horseracing or Churchill Downs. The Kentucky Derby film in the round is the best thing there! The rest of the museum is full of information that will delight anyone!

This was a fantastic experience! It is so hard to know when booking online if things will go well. We are so pleased with our experience. A representative communicated with me via text and email. When I had a question about building the itinerary I was able to call the representative and have a positive and productive conversation with her. Our driver (Belkis) was fantastic. She communicated via text the day before our tour to confirm location pick up, and the morning of our tour to let me know she was on her way. We traveled via mini van that was clean, comfortable, spacious, and had AC. It was a hot day and Belkis had cold bottles of water and crackers waiting in the van for us. Another couple traveled on the tour with us as well and we all had fun together. A total of 4 passengers and 1 driver. Our driver was professional and knew exactly how to efficiently get us to the proper locations on time for each distillery tour. I have no complaints about our tour and look forward to booking another tour with this company (and hopefully the same driver) the next time we visit Louisville.

B&C Bourbon Experience Tour
Bsorensen4, Jun 2026
Not bad but not great either
Our tour started with Bardstown Distillery which is beautiful, sleek and modern and the tour through the distillery was great. We were shown the bourbon making process start to finish with a nice tasting at the conclusion. Next was Buffalo Trace Distillery just as beautiful with its rich history of bourbon distilling dating back to 1771 . The tour was okay. Walked the grounds to learn about the many generations of bourbon making and how the process has changed through the years. We did not get to see the actual distilling areas, only a rickhouse and packaging area. Tasting at the end of the tour was very nice. Gift shop had lots of bourbon, gifts and food items to choose from. Third stop was Jeptha Creed, no tour at this distillery. We were directed to the back porch for a tasting that included a brief history of the distillery and then provided plastic communion cups and pointed to the end of the bar for water from an Igloo cooler. Not what was expected after seeing tasting tables nicely set inside the building, obviously meant for a different group. Our tour driver was courteous and pleasant but wish the ride included more local history and landmarks as we traveled between stops.

Churchill Downs and Buffalo Trace - great day!
We had a great day! We enjoyed our Driver Belkis very much. They were able to get us tour tickets when we were unable to do so on her own and the ease of being dropped off close and not having to park and drive was wonderful. We ended up with a rainy day so that let us relax on the trip. You recommend this tour. !

Our driver John Thomas did a great job getting us to our distilleries on time and in style. Our booking agent Julie Mayfield did a great job setting up the distillery tours and making adjustments as our group size changed. The limo was very comfortable, clean, and well-appointed for our group. Pegasus was referred to us by a friend who brought a family group several years ago. I heartily recommend Pegasus for your bourbon trail tour!

Victorian charm with a perfectly curated menu
I was in Louisville for a conference and went on this tour solo. Greta was so welcoming, knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly. The tour walked us through two beautiful Victorian neighborhoods where I was able to see styles I have not seen in person yet. The food and drinks were deliciously curated and the perfect amount for a walking tour. Thank you, Greta! I would go on the tour again!
