Explore Lexington’s horse country, Keeneland, and Thoroughbred farms on a practical 3.5-hour tour with expert local guides.
“We had family visiting from California, so i decided to book a tour which ended up as one of the hottest days in July, but it was awesome! Our tour guide, Tom, provided plenty of water and the van was decently air conditioned. My husband and i are from Lexington and never visited Keeneland or toured any of our beautiful horse farms, so this experience was extra special. Our guide, Tom, was knowledgeable about Lexington, the thoroughbred industry, and very engaging. We really enjoyed ourselves.
