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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Bourbon tour with B&C Experience. We are so glad our communication helped make the planning process easy and stress-free, and we love hearing that Belkis provided such a memorable experience. She is a fantastic part of our team, and we will be sure to share your compliments with her. From confirming your pickup to making sure you were comfortable with cold water and snacks on a warm Kentucky day, she always strives to provide excellent service. We’re also happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the day together and that the itinerary flowed smoothly. Creating unforgettable Bourbon experiences is what we love to do, and we would be honored to welcome you back on your next visit to Louisville. We hope to see you again soon—and we’ll keep our fingers crossed that Belkis is your driver again!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate hearing about your experience and the highlights, as well as the areas where we can improve. We are glad you enjoyed Bardstown Distillery and Buffalo Trace, especially learning about the bourbon-making process, the history, and the tastings. Each distillery offers a different experience, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective on the tours and facilities. We are sorry that your experience at Jeptha Creed did not meet your expectations. We understand that the tasting setup and presentation are an important part of the overall experience, and we will share your comments with the team to help ensure expectations are better aligned for future guests. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the transportation portion of the tour. Our drivers focus on providing safe, comfortable, and friendly service, but we understand that adding more local history, landmarks, and stories along the way can make the journey even more memorable. We will continue working on enhancing that part of the experience. Thank you again for choosing B&C Experience and for helping us improve.
Our driver was excellent. He was on time and help direct us to where we needed to be. EXCELLENT TIME
Thank you so much for your kind words. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you again in the future for another unforgettable bourbon journey. Cheers
We had the best drive (Belkis) she was so sweet and helpful. When we walk into the distilleries you can tell everyone loved her as well. What a great asset to your company.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience with Belkis. She truly has a gift for making our guests feel welcome and cared for throughout the day, and it means a lot to hear that her warmth and professionalism stood out to you.

Buffalo Trace is very busy but Beautiful. Four Roses is ideal for a quiet tour on a Distillery that resembles a Spanish Villa, and Stitzel-Weller is a museum to Bourbon making. Onel was great to us and helped us all day with Travel and Distillery tips.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the unique character each distillery brings to the Bourbon Trail experience. Buffalo Trace truly is a beautiful and iconic destination, even with the crowds. Four Roses offers such a relaxing atmosphere with its stunning Spanish Mission-style architecture, and Stitzel-Weller really does feel like stepping into bourbon history with its incredible museum experience and heritage. We’re especially happy to hear that Onel took great care of you throughout the day. Providing helpful travel advice and distillery recommendations is all part of creating a smooth and memorable experience, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you again for choosing B & C Experience — we hope to see you back in Kentucky again soon for more bourbon adventures! 🥃
I booked two separate experiences with B and C. The first one was a tour distilleries I wanted to visit, but not my favorites. I asked Carol if I could have a second tour with my favorites, and she made accommodations for me to do that. Appreciated that flexibility. Both my tour guides were professional, and timely. It just happened that my second experience was just me by myself. And so that worked out just great, the first tour was with four other people who were very enjoyable to be with. The mode of transportation was new vans, clean, with snacks and water available as a bonus.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with B & C! We’re thrilled that Carol was able to accommodate your request and create a second tour focused on your favorite distilleries. Flexibility and personalized experiences are something we truly strive for. We’re also happy to hear that both of your guides were professional, punctual, and helped make each day enjoyable in its own way — whether sharing the experience with a fun group or enjoying a more personalized private-style tour on your own. It’s great to know the comfortable transportation, clean vans, snacks, and water added to the experience as well. Thank you again for choosing B & C for both of your Bourbon Trail adventures. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to Kentucky for another unforgettable experience in the future! 🥃
We had an absolutely incredible experience with this tour. It was a private tour just for the two of us, and everything was perfectly synchronized from start to finish. The highlight was definitely getting full production tour tickets for Buffalo Trace Distillery, which we know is incredibly difficult to secure! Our guide made it happen seamlessly. Every single distillery stop along the way was wonderfully organized, and the timing at each location was perfectly calculated so we never felt rushed yet never wasted a minute.
