With a perfect track record across hundreds of tours, this Lexington food experience consistently delivers on all fronts. Guides like Elena, Caroline, Kat, and Erin earn enthusiastic praise for weaving fascinating local history into the culinary journey, making the walks between stops just as engaging as the food itself. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize how knowledgeable and personable these guides are, with many mentioning the thoughtful touches like personalized recommendation lists and accommodations for dietary needs. Come very hungry. Nearly every review mentions the surprisingly generous portions, with several people admitting they couldn't finish everything and had to skip dinner afterward. The restaurant stops showcase excellent local spots, and the experience works well whether you're visiting from out of town or already live in the area. Even when only two people show up, tours still run as scheduled, which past-burned travelers especially appreciate. The warehouse district tours and bourbon-focused options both get equal enthusiasm from participants.
Excellent tasting tour. Kat was a great history teller and we enjoyed a variety of excellent food and drink in the warehouse district.
