“Tasting Kentucky”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

The City Taste Tour was a lot of fun. We were picked up in this funky decorated van. Saw many interesting sites and toured an old mansion. Tasted many local foods including the famous Hot Brown Sandwich and sampling mint julieps.

My wife and I went on this tour and it was simply amazing. Luckily we were the only 2 since it was a weekday and we got our own private tour. Leslie goes out of her way to make this a special tour. From the serving pie, to bourbon, to a little picnic by the Ohio falls. Tour exceeded my... More

Hello! Aren't you guys so sweet! I'm glad you had a great time. Although it doesn't happy all that often (more on the weekdays), I just love it when I get just two on the bus. Hopefully it was a special time for you both. Note to hopeful future guests: City Taste Tours does not have a minimum to run... More

“The tour that didn't happen.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2013

We were looking forward to this tour after reading the many positive reviews. Leslie was great about arranging our reservations for the tour. She informed us about where to meet and which parking lot we should leave our car in. We arrived at our destination ten minutes early and began our watch for Leslie's bus. After forty five minutes it... More

Ohhhhh, I just hate it when folks are unhappy! I promise you, I wanted to give you a tour that day too.:) While in the midst of my pick-ups... the usually faithful city taste tours bus alternator started to fail. My pickups are always stated to be between 15 minutes before the tour and tour time. It is hard when... More

Leslie is a wonder tour guide and we enjoyed her and the tour very much. She picked us up at the hotel in her decorated van and showed us many of the best sights in Louisville. This tour should be first on your list of things to do in town. It will give you an overview of the city and... More

Hello! Thanks for the great review! Yep the tour is a combination of both sightseeing and tasting. So it fits both of those needs. I tweak up the tastes here and there too... just recently we started stopping at a Bourbon chocolate truffle place. Its been quite a hit! Thanks again! Leslie More

Leslie sure knows how to entertain. She has a great way of making you comfortable and sharing stories about this Louisville. If you are visiting Louisville, or have never explored the different cultural marks, I highly recommend this tour. There were so many boxes I checked off my must see list - Falls of Ohio, the beautiful Conrad mansion, Slugger... More

Thanks for the review! Yes, I try to include as many "must sees" as I can on the tour. Sometimes I think I need an "Everything You Should See, Know & Taste While You're in Louisville " #1 and #2 though. There is always something else that I want to add to the tour. I am also glad that you... More

Well hello! I must admit this is one of my favorite reviews! "Driver-Historian-Comedian".... what a hoot! Thank you. I do try to make the history of Louisville fun and try to do it in a more "stories of Louisville" format. If I happened to be particularly funny that day... I credit it to you and the other fun people on... More
