We would like to thank you for the excellent private tour. We all feel we lucked out when I made contact with you and booked our tour. We enjoyed Churchill Downs in Louisville, but the highlights of our tour were the horse auction, Keeneland, and Claiborne Farm.
We would recommend you to all our family and friends who were taking a tour. We also came away with a greater appreciation for and understanding of the Lexington area, thanks to your comments as we traveled the countryside.
Thanks again - it was great!

John's tour and commentary made the Blue Grass come alive for my husband and I! His extensive knowledge, not only about the facts and figures of the area, but about the flesh and blood people and horses, was captivating. We will definitely return to Lexington and will absolutely treat ourselves to another day with John. D.P., Carmel, CA
Hi, John! I want you to know how much I enjoyed my vacation. The highlight of the trip was making a fool of myself over Afleet Alex. Seeing him was so special for me - he was the reason I wanted to visit Lexington. Thanks for arranging everything. Marion (Gainesway Farm's stallion manager) told me before we left that Shower Up was going to win the Secretariat Stakes this past weekend. He was right! What a trip! Don't be surprised if you hear from me again in the next couple of years. After some of my current favorite horses retire, I'll be wanting to see them, too! M. D., Memphis, TN
Thank you for showing us around your lovely state. You are fantastic, not only did you give us an amazing tour but you taught us things about Kentucky that we never knew. Our vacation far exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to come back again. You'll be getting our call in the future. T.D. & P.S., Olive Branch, MS
You sure know how to make us "Yankees" feel right at home in the bluegrass! Your tour was such a special addition to our vacation. The "goodie bag" was thoughtful and much appreciated. We learned so much and had much fun learning, thanks to your nuggets of local lore and culture and history. Thanks, too, for telling us about the tours of the Toyota plant, which we took later in the week--fascinating! Now, if you only could have gotten us a winner at Keeneland, you would have handed us the perfect day.

It was a pleasure to have you as our guide. The folks loved the drive through the country and your tour. If our travels bring us back to your area we will be calling you to do our tour. I will also pass your name and info on to other travel partners if they are doing KY. Thanks a million for a great job.

Good comments - you speak clearly and effectively - as you know, we travel all over the U.S. and Canada with many city tours - we know what we want and like and you did just that. M.M., Ontario, Canada
We have great memories of our trip and thanks to you we learned and experienced much more than we could have on our own. We will definitely recommend you to others, and give you a call if and when we return.

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent tour you gave our group, The Trinity Travelers (Birmingham Tours). We enjoyed the trip to Keeneland and seeing the beautiful thoroughbreds working out. Your comments and information about the horse industry and Lexington, KY, were very interesting. The Trinity Travelers had a marvelous 5-day bus trip, and your tour was one of the highlights. I would gladly recommend you as a tour guide.
