We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Sean Washington. He had great stories and a wealth of knowledge regarding the racing industry and the horses. We highly recommend this tour!

Shaun was a great guide, fun and knowledgeable. A nice mix of places visited - horse sanctuary, top-end stud, mares/foals, smaller barn with yearlings and an operation in an equine hospital. Riding in the bus was comfortable and the more elevated position gave great views over the fences and walls better than the day before in our car.

Our guide, Jeff, was extremely knowledgeable and very funny! He took his time and answered lots of questions!
The farms were beautiful and most definitely unique! Loved seeing all the yearlings and the sweet new babies!

Our tour guide/driver was really good, so knowledgeable! The farms were beautiful as were the horses! Learned a lot! The only disappointment was I thought we would see horses swimming at the Thoroughbred Center, but was told that it is used only as needed for therapy. Hope this helps others.

The rolling hills and the beauty of the farms was wonderful. There was an over booking issue, but Shawn comped us all on the over flow bus and got a second bus.

This was an excellent, memorable tour with a great guide who told stories about the horses and about the farms we visited. Since it was late April we were able to see the foals - some of which were 3-4 days old. The scenery alone was impressive. We highly recommend the tour

Sean Washington is an excellent tour guide who brought our unique tour to life. Through His knowledge about the owners, the horse business in general, his ability to tell stories and his wonderful sense of humor he made our day special. We fully intend to bring our children and grandchildren to Lexington to take a Unique tour again as long as we can get Sean as our tour guide. Thank you too for the wonderful tour of the Rood/ Riddle hospital that through Sean’s relationship there, we were able to possibly see a surgery being performed….. amazing!

This was our second time for horse tours. We brought friends from out of state and all thought It was difficult to hear and understand the driver if you were seated too far back in the bus. While we enjoyed the different farms there was far too many stats on the prize horses and not enough just general—interesting information about the horses, their care, their trainers, etc. It was a 3 1/2 tour and no restroom break was offered.
