New urban adventures available Aug. 18-Nov. 26
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 28, 2017) – Mint Julep Tours has launched two new urban adventures – a sightseeing tour of Louisville landmarks called Discover Derby City and a beer tour of the city’s best craft breweries called Brew in the Lou.
Since 2008, Mint Julep Tours has shared what makes Kentucky great with thousands of locals and tourists through engaging tours and Southern hospitality. Each half-day guided excursion is led by an enthusiastic tour leader in one of Mint Julep Tours’ comfortable vehicles.
Starting Aug. 18 and running through November, Brew in the Lou and Discover Derby City are fun and educational introductions to Louisville’s authentic and unique places and people.
