I am from Central Kentucky. That didn’t matter at all. I still learned lots of interesting history and ate a several different things at some restaurants I had been to and others that I hadn’t. This was an extremely enjoyable experience. The tour is well-planned and orchestrated. The pace of the tour is perfect: leisurely walking and then sitting at... More

I live in Lexington and still learned some history as well as tried a few places I had never been before. Truly engaging tour, love the walking, its so nice to see things downtown you never notice in your car. It definitely wasn't as filling as a full meal, more of a heavy snack and what a fun way to...

I think everyone else did a great write up. Some bullets from me and my wife - Laura was very nice and runs a fun tour - the restaurants she chose are great (we went to two of them for actual meals over the next two days based upon the tastings) - you get enough food at each stop to... More

This is a fabulously fun walking tour of beautiful, downtown Lexington. We sampled wonderful food at a variety of restaurants; all the while receiving a fun history lesson in this lovely city in the heart of the Bluegrass. More

My husband and I took the Jefferson Street Tour on Sunday, June 12th and would recommend it to visitors and towns people as well. Laura, our guide, was a good mix of professionalism and friendliness and was full of interesting historical facts about the Jefferson Street area and Lexington in general. Our tour included several restaurants, an urban market and... More

I had never been to downtown Lexington and travel alone so this tour was really a treat. The guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The selection and variety of restaurants was perfect. As we walked from place to place we were told about points of interest and local history. The food was great and I would want to go back... More

The Bleu Plate Tour was the perfect fit. We took the Saturday morning tour and were treated to perfect weather, sit-down plated sampling (no plastic cups here!), an... More

I took my parents (from out of town and 70+) and my son (15 year old local) on the Blue Plate Walking Tour over Easter weekend. Unfortunately the monsoon rains of the season tripped us up a bit-be sure to take an umbrella if weather threatens as there is much time spent outdoors. We all LOVED Laura's narrations along the...
