Chris is the consummate professional. I have used him on 4 occasions over the last 3 years and I just can’t say enough good things about him. His vehicles are in pristine condition and his hospitality is contagious. He works with you ahead of time to properly plan your tours and to maximize your exposure to the bourbon distilleries. I bring small groups to Kentucky each year and will always depend on him for his insight and compassion for the industry as well as the city hot spots in general . I truly feel that Bluegrass Executive Transportation is an industry leader. Thank you for your outstanding

Was really impressed by this family run business and very happy with our experience. Booked this transport to tour the bourbon distilleries. Very helpful in advance while planning our trip and gave great suggestions. We were picked up promptly at the scheduled time and were greeted by the son, KC (Casey?). Super friendly and fit right in with our group. The car (escalade) was very clean and comfortable and felt like we were getting a legit tour with all the information shared. Very comfortable ride throughout and was very accommodating. Even did a side run for one of our group who needed a trip

What can I say about Chris and Bluegrass Executive Transportation? Nothing but positive things.
I was able to plan a surprise birthday trip for my partner that was unforgettable and I must say that I could not have done it without Chris. The man KNOWS his stuff. Before even booking with him he hopped on a call with me and spent an invaluable amount of time sharing his knowledge and guiding me through all the Bourbon trail things. I booked a whole day of fun tastings and he did not even expect me to book his services. Immediately I realized that his selflessness is what adds incredible value to

We recently used Bluegrass Executive Transportation for a trip on the Bourbon Trail. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Chris and Casey are both very knowledgeable about the Bourbon Trail and the Louisville area in general. The car was great and super clean. Casey picked us up on time and got us everywhere we needed to go. The flexibility of being able to plan your own stops and customize your itinerary versus doing a preset group tour is awesome. Great experience all around. I would not hesitate to recommend using Bluegrass for any transportation needs.

Absolutely one of the best decisions we made regarding our trip to Louisville was booking with these people. Chris, the owner, was super responsive and helpful with suggestions on places to try during the booking. While his son Casey who ended up being our driver for two days was equally spectacular. He had suggestions on the fly for places to try and see in between tours and was just a fun guy to get to know and talk to.
The car was immaculate and I would recommend them without reservation and when we come back, booking with them again will be one of the first things we do.

Bluegrass Executive Transportation is the most professional, hands-on, knowledgable service in the tri-State area. With a fleet of black Cadillac Escalades, no one knows the bourbon trail and the state better than Chris and his team. I cannot possibly recommend them highly enough and I have personally ridden with him multiple times for multiple trail trips. Hands down, the best.
If you are looking for a driver and guide for Derby, Bourbon, or a transfer to your hotel you cannot miss the mark by contacting Bluegrass Executive.

I came in with three friends from California for the Bourbon Trail and we all highly recommend Bluegrass Executive Transportation. Chris and Casey were professional and have so much knowledge of all the distilleries, restaurants, and everything in-between. The suburban was clean and spacious and Casey was the perfect host (and photographer, lol). This is exactly the way you want to do the Bourbon Trail - Thanks Chris and Casey!

Casey, with Bluegrass Executive Transportation, was not only an excellent, safe driver, he was able to adapt with traffic during rush hour and unexpected collisions. He was prompt and got us to our destinations on time. He was personable and a pleasure to travel with between stops, sharing his love and knowledge of his home town. He went above and beyond, suggesting places to eat and other must-sees around the area. I highly recommend Bluegrass Executive Transportation for a simple ride from the airport to an entire fun-filled day of touring the Bourbon Trail!

The Owner's son Casey picked us up early on a Sunday morning for a drive along the Bourbon Trail. He was early, and very professional, but not stuffy, which can be a fine line to walk. He was very informative and inquisitive, but when he realized the two older men in the backseat needed to rest a little he let that happen. We really enjoyed our over eight hour day, and would do it again with Bluegrass Executive Transportation in a second. Last, but not least they took an interest in our trip and gave us great dinner recommendations and other recommendations for us for things to do while in Louisville
