Show up very hungry! There’s also some history lessons during the tour. Excellent 3 hours! Highly recommend. Elena our guide was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with.
Fun tour through charming Lexington, though the price seemed a bit high for the foods that we sampled. Loved our guide, Lilly. You can tell she enjoys talking about her city. We stopped at five eateries, three of which we enjoyed greatly. We even went back to one, Agave & Rye, the next night for dinner ! The Greek place was boring, like a fast food restaurant, and our final destination, The Grove, was disappointing. For our charcuterie plate, we got one piece of cheese, a slice of bread, one raspberry and half of a strawberry. I would hope the company would pick a better representation of Lexington, especially for the last stop of the tour.
First off I have to say our tour guide Caroline was top-notch! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very fun and kept the group on target and did a good job holding everyone’s attention. No easy task for this group of seven! Most of the places we went to we would absolutely seek out again. She also gave great recommendations to other fun things to see and do in Lexington! She loves her City and knows it well. We would all highly recommend Caroline and this tour!
We had family in town and thought this would fun. It was fantastic! Caroline was amazing with her choices for food stops, her knowledge of Lexington was very interesting and what a fun person. I would highly recommend her and the tour. We will be trying their other options.
Very fun and informative exploration of Lexington's downtown area, stopping at several restaurants along the way. Our guide shared many fun facts / history. The transition into each restaurant was seamless and food was so good. Portions were large so come hungry!! We have done similar food tours before in other towns and always enjoy them. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our downtown Lexington food tour with Bites of the Bluegrass!! Our lovely host, Lilly, did an amazing job narrating our adventure with entertaining and informative history of the area. The tour didn't focus on traditional Kentucky foods but instead featured a variety of international cuisine options available in the downtown Lexington area that showcased the influence of more recent foreign integration into the community there. Highly recommended!!
Lily did a great job. We ate some wonderful food and learned lots of interesting information about Lexington, Kentucky.
Lily was a perfect tour guide! Lots of history about Lexington I did not know; I have lived near here 40 years. Plenty of tasty food! Six was just the right number for this tour. Just the right pace for my Senior friends & me😊
We had a wonderful time on the downtown walking food and history tour! We learned so much about Lexington’s history while enjoying delicious local food and drinks along the way. Caroline was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable and kept our group entertained making sure that we had a great experience from start to finish! I highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time with Lily on our walking tour of downtown Lexington. The information Lily shared was interesting and informative. She did a great job mixing local history and food stops and the food stops were really good.
