Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of the tour?
Our tours operate on a “Pay-What-You-Wish” model, meaning you contribute what you feel your personalized experience with Kenny is worth. We believe this offers great value and flexibility.
To help guide you, we provide these suggested rates for services:- 2-Hour Tour – $150 per group
- Half-Day Tour (up to 4 hours) – $250 per group
- Full-Day Tour (up to 8 hours) – $400 per group This pricing is for the tour (Kenny’s time and expertise), not per person.
Are there additional charges for different pickup locations?
With our new tour format, Kenny (your guide) will meet you at a pre-arranged starting point for your tour, typically within our main service areas (e.g., Marion, Nelson, Washington counties). You will then travel together in your own vehicle.
The “Pay-What-You-Wish” model with our suggested hourly/daily rates covers Kenny’s time and expertise for the tour itself. There are no additional “pickup” charges or per-person fees based on location in the traditional sense.
If your desired starting point is significantly outside our usual operational area, please discuss this with us when booking so we can determine the best way to accommodate your tour.What type of vehicle will we be traveling in?
You will be traveling in your own vehicle for the tour. Kenny, your expert guide, will join you in your car. This allows you to enjoy the tour in familiar comfort, set your own pace, and have plenty of space for your group. Kenny will provide all the historical insights and navigation guidance.
