We were pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive "up close and personal" tour of some of Kentucky's most beautiful thoroughbred farms. We toured breeding facilities and met some very handsome, well cared for, busy stallions. One of the highlights was spending time with mares and new foals...proud mamas and gorgeous,inquisitive babies! What a great addition to an informative and entertaining tour.... More

The kids that were on the trip with us seemed to stay interested as well. We even went to Keeneland, and even though they were not racing it... More

Today I had the opportunity to take a horse farm tour with this company. We had visitors from out of state that we knew would have the best experience touring the horse farms with a tour guide who could answer questions I would not be able to. Our tour guide, David Leet, was very informative and full of information. This... More

This is a great tour, beautiful beyond words. Our tour guide made the history so much fun. We saw amazing farms and the horses had all had babies. So adorable and lots of photos. For race fans the inside scoop will enlighten you to things you never would think about. I learned so much. I recommend this tour as a... More

According to information on www.horsecapitaltours.com, Horse Farm Tours gives an "exclusive look" at Keeneland Race Course. In fact, Keeneland is open to the public free of charge and visitors are free to roam virtually anywhere on the premises including trackside for morning workouts, barn area, and cafeteria (aka, "kitchen.") Here is the link to Keeneland http://www.keeneland.com/visit/lists/copy/workouts.aspx

If you feel the tour booking website was misleading, we sincerely apologize. The reason why we consider the visit to Keeneland an 'exclusive look' is because, unlike free of charge and open to the public visits, our tour includes an experienced, knowledgeable tour operator who acts as a guide throughout the tour of the Race Course and its attractions. With... More

I have written over three hundred reviews. Of those three hundred reviews, I have only once before rated something a "1." This will be my second time and if I could have rated this company a zero, I would have done so. I have been on many guided tours before (check my other reviews) and consider myself a reasonable and... More

Really enjoyed this tour. Not only did we tour the race track but our tour director had access to some of the local horse farms. We got to walk thru the stables and even feed some of the horses. Our guide included stops along the way for pictures. We also got an quick tour of the downtown area, which we... More

Taking the Horse Farm Tour with my wife and sister was the most fun and best use of several hours we had on our vacation. Mattie Sanders, our tour director, was so knowledgeable and so enthusiastic about everything she showed us--the time just flew by.
