Southern Bourbon Tour Testimonials

These folks were fantastic! Vic (driver/guide) arrived at our AirBNB early in the morning. We were getting to our first stop early so he stopped so everyone could get a biscuit. He pointed out a lot of Ky history on the routes. He communicated very well on when we needed to leave one place to get to the other on time. Stopped for lunch in Bardstown and had time to walk down to an old Tavern for a drink before leaving for our last location. They provide plenty of water/ice and even cups for mixology if you want. The owner also was spot on with the service he said they would provide. Highly recommend them!

From the first moment I contacted Bob O at Bourbon Hall Tours and Tastings it was a first class experience. From his crew’s communication in selecting the perfect experience for my husbands 50th birthday with friends.

The tour bus picked us up in front of our hotel, we toured 2 distilleries; had an amazing lunch at Bardstown bourbon Company. So delicious! We then toured 2 more distilleries and were dropped back at our hotel safe and sound.


I can’t say enough about Bob O. His hospitality was above and beyond. So knowledgeable, friendly and we all laughed till we cried. Any tips You pay Bob donates back to the Wounded Warriors project. . Bless you. We will definitely return and use Bourbon Hall Tours and Tastings. Thank you

Exceeded expectations! Bob Oates and the entire company went out of their way to make our experience outstanding. The booking process was a piece of cake. The trip itself was one we will all remember forever. Thank you for proving such an excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for any trip through Bourbon country. We already can’t wait to visit again.

We chose this tour because of all the great reviews on Trip Advisor ..and they were spot on!
No detail was left to chance! We were fortunate enough to get to have the owner 5-Star Bob as our tour guide extraordinaire! Seriously, from helping us choose great restaurants for dinner to picking up a birthday cake for one of our friends in the group....he was just over the top with service...and just a really good dude!

Peerless Distillery was our first stop, & probably our favorite because the CEO/President (Corky) actually took the time to speak with us and share some family history.


All of the stops were great, and in spite of Covid...we were still able to enjoy 6 tastings!
If you are planning to do a Bourbon Tour, you won’t be disappointed with Bob’s crew!

When researching tour companies, I initially passed by this one because the reviews and social media seemed outdated. Something made me reach out and I'm glad I did! We had a short time in Louisville and short list of places we really wanted to get to. Bob and Amber provided so much information in helping is curate a tour that hit our highlights and filled in their recommendations. We had different drivers each day to take us from downtown Louisville to the Eastern Trail (Fred) and the Southern Trail (Michael). It was wonderful for our group of 4 to be taken care of from pickup to drop off. Based on our experience, I have recommended this company to two other groups I know who are planning trips to the Bourbon Trail.

We did the Willett and Jim Beam distillery tour. Both were excellent and we were impressed by the very large but beautiful Pot Still at Willett as well as the wonderful countryside and facilities that the Beam distillery provided. Bourbon Hall Tours were very professional and on time. Bob our driver and guide provided great fun facts about the history of Bourbon as well as light entertainment along the tour of the day. Super Day in Kentucky.
