Private tours give you the option of seeing the things that YOU want to see, in the privacy of just YOUR group.

 

Yes, the Lexington area is known for its horse farms, but there's so much more to see and experience here - everything from historic distilleries to an ultra-modern automobile assembly plant.

 

I have over 18 years of tour experience - both with large groups and with individuals.  I'm proud to show guests the area that I've come to know and love.  I'm registered as a private guide with the Lexington Convention & Visitors Bureau and with the Kentucky Department of Tourism.

 

If you haven’t done so already, I’d suggest that you use the Lexington Convention & Visitors Bureau’s website (www.visitlex.com) and/or our state's tourism site (www.kentuckytourism.com) as starting points.  They'll give you ideas about places to visit.  Once you’ve got some thoughts, I can give you an idea about what will fill up as little as 3 hours (my minimum) or as long as a full day or two. 

 

The cost?  Read on...

 

 

 

The Fine Print

 

Our fee is $35/hour, with a 3 hour minimum.  We also have a day rate, with an 8 hour maximum, of $175.  You pay only for the time we're together, NOT for the time it takes us to plan your tour.

Your only added expense would be for a groom gratuity at each farm we visit - usually $15-$20 paid directly to the groom.  Farms do not charge for visits, but expect their staff to be tipped.

 

Tours are conducted in YOUR vehicle, not in a van as part of a public tour group.  We may join others at a horse farm stop, otherwise it's just you and your guide.  Your guide will be happy to do the driving and let you soak up the scenery, but that's entirely up to you.

 

Your tour is reserved when we've received a check for 50% of the total fee.  Should you need to cancel, that amount is NOT refundable.  The balance is due by cash or check on the day of your tour.
