Unique Horse Farm Tours with Insider Access to Private Farms
susanyC5421KD, Sep 2026
Wonderful horse trip
Sean, our guide, was a wonderful source of information and good stories. Mini bus was comfortable and we visited some wonderful horse farms. We were able to interact with the horses and Sean was a mine of information about both the horses and also about Kentucky and Lexington. He made us laugh so much and the whole experience was fun. Could do it over and over again.

Churchill Downs tour a must
Churchill Downs tour is a must. Even if you’re not a horse racing fan it is a historic venue and a great experience. Go in the morning if you can as you are more likely to see trainers exercising the horses. The horseback riding is in a beautiful area through the Indiana forest. We had a wonderful time overall.

We were so fortunate to have Brittany. She went above and beyond than just being a driver/tour guide. We laughed for hours we were treated like VIP'S. If we are ever in Kentucky again, we would absolutely request Brittany as our guide again!!!

Excellent experience
The driver was very nice person to talk to you, I was picked up and took me to the area for horseback riding , it was nice experience, 1 1/2 hr ride . First you are shown a video of how to get on a horse, and what not to do while riding, very simple instructions to follow, there were two ladies guiding us. They were amazing and let us know what to do. I would do it again. The driver took pictures of myself and daughter since we are not allowed to do it while riding the horse.The driver picked us up afterwords, was taken to the Kentucky Derby (Church Hill ) and it was an amazing experience , lots to see and learn from the tour. The only thing is that I was not aware of how long we can stay to see, I felt rushed due to driver was waiting outside. I was there approximately 1 hr and 15 mins I did not do the second floor. My part as well forgot to ask about how long.Overall it was a great experience and good to have a driver that can take us, I highly recommend it, I would do it again, happy with the service.

Wonderful intro to thoroughbred racehorse country!
We loved the tour, which gave us tons of info about the horse racing world and took us behind the scenes at Keeneland Race Track and both a broodmare farm and a stud farm, as well as driving through lots of scenic horse farm country around Lexington. Daniel was a fantastic tour guide-- full of knowledge and stories and lots of fun. Highly recommended for anyone who loves horses and wants to see what the horse capital of the world is up to!

The Hidden Gem Inside a Gem
This was different than any tour I have ever taken. It is limited to a handful of people and we visited 3 horse farms. We had the opportunity to to get up close to the horses and learned just how much they love peppermint candy we fed them. Our tour guide Shawn (or Sean?)was very knowledgeable about all the other farms we passed and the Kentucky Derby. His stories held our attention and only enhanced an otherwise excellent tour. I would highly recommend it.
