Your Guide

Hello, my name is John Midbo

I have over 30 years of horse farm tour-guiding know-how - with both large groups and individuals.  Whether it's just you and a friend - or a full busload, I have a wealth of experience.  I'm registered as a private guide with the Lexington Convention & Visitors Bureau and with the Kentucky Department of Tourism.

One suggestion - PLAN EARLY. There's only one of me! Keep in mind that private guides visit farms by appointment, so last-minute requests are hard to handle. If you do contact me last-minute, I'll be happy to recommend a public tour company that may be able to help.

Yes, the Lexington area is known for its horse farms, but there's so much more to see and experience here - everything from historic distilleries to an ultra-modern automobile assembly plant. I suggest doing what I do when I travel - tour with a guide first, then strike out on your own if you wish. Our country roads are beautiful, but can be a little daunting to a visitor, so let someone who's familiar with them take you around.
