Valet parking a real plus. Manchester Hotel offers a comfortable lobby for use prior to and after the tour with restrooms available off the lobby. Sean Washington was incredible!! He was very knowledgeable and personable. As I said to Sean, "I knew Lexington was the Horse Capital of the World, but you showed me why!"
Excellent tour, very knowledgeable and entertaining guide
Absolutely loved this tour. It was always a dream of mine to tour horse farms in Kentucky. Shawn Washington was an awesome tour guide. He had so much knowledge of the racing world. He could name every winner of the Kentucky Derby along with the horses lineage. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lexington.
Tour guide Shawn rolled out the red carpet for his guests. He displayed over-the-top knowledge and courtesy for the entire tour.
Our Unique Horse Farm tour was fantastic! Shaun picked us up promptly in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, and the entire morning went seamlessly. We absolutely loved being around the horses and feeding them peppermint was a treat. Shaun was incredibly entertaining, sharing great stories and fascinating facts about the horses and the industry. It was truly special getting an up-close look at how the foals are trained and visiting the barns to interact with the horses. To top it all off, the views were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
