Hosted by your chauffeur

Hosted by your chauffeur, an evening can begin with a pick-up at your choice of location, and then we’ll paint the town whatever color you want! Afterward, grab late night grub, or drop you off at your desired location. And if we pass your curfew, we won’t say anything!

WHAT’S A PARTY VAN OR LIMO VAN?

We get this question a lot: What exactly is a party van or limo van? A party van, also known as a limo van, is like a limo the size of a van that allows you and your friends to party to and from destinations, or party all night in a mobile, club-like atmosphere. We don’t have outrageous markups or large overheads so we’re affordable and able to meet any of your requests!

Specials change month to month so please call our reservationist for more information and details We do offer significantly lower rates on our Sun-Thursday reservations so please give us a call if you are planning a trip during the week!

Military Discounts are available for Active Duty and Retired Personnel every day.

Can we drink alcohol on the van?

Yes, alcohol is permitted on the vehicle long as EVERYONE on the van is at least 21 years old. If there is a mixed group of both 21+ and under 21 on board, alcohol is not permitted.

Do you supply us with alcohol?

No. It is strictly BYOB. You are welcome to bring whatever beverages you would like onto the van. We supply plenty of Ice for your beverages during your trip.

Is there an additional charge for trips outside of the Area?

Sometimes. Anything outside of the 25 mile radius, there may be an additional charge depending on a few different factors: How many hours the van is rented for, what day of the week the van is being rented and a few others…. Please call for details.

Can we smoke on the van?

No. Smoking is strictly prohibited on all party vans and will be subject to a fine and immediate termination of the trip.

Do I need to bring 8 friends to book the 8 passenger van?

No. You can bring whatever number of friends you want, up to 8 or whatever number of passengers is specified for your vehicle. Those numbers are simply to note the capacity. If you bring less friends with you, you’ll just have more room to spread out and enjoy the van, or to move from area to area within the van as you party and live it up!

Can we rent a van for just two people?

My partner and I are celebrating an anniversary and we’d like to rent a van just for the two of us to travel around Lexington. Can we rent one for just two people?

Of course you may. Anniversaries are incredible when celebrated on a Kentucky Legacy Tours limo van, whether you’re having an intimate celebration for just the two of you, or whether you bring all your closest friends along to celebrate with you!

Is there a minimum number of hours for the van rental?

Yes, however our minimum hours vary by season and during events, request a quote or contact us for more information.

At what point in time does my reservation begin…. And end?

Your reservation starts at your scheduled pickup time. This means, unlike other companies, we do not charge for travel time. Your trip ends once the last patron exits the van.

For events were minors are present, does there need to be a guardian on board?

No. However, we do record a parent signature at the time of pick up, and a signature from each minor agreeing to our “Minor and Alcohol Agreement. You may ask for a “host” supplied by Kentucky Legacy Tours for an additional $25/hr. This host will be a trustworthy employee of the company that can act as a liaison between the kids and the driver and assist with supervision and questions regarding features of the van.

A valid credit card must be provided at the time of booking in order to reserve the van and lock it in for your event. The card is charged upon booking.

The 2026 Breeders’ Cup Returns to Keeneland: A Lexington Race-Day Guide

It is official: the Breeders’ Cup World Championships return to Keeneland Race Course in Lexington on Friday and Saturday, October 30–31, 2026. For the fourth time in just over a decade — after 2015, 2020 and 2022 — the sport’s richest two days come home to the cradle of the Thoroughbred breeding industry.

Fourteen Grade I races. More than $35 million in purses. The best horses, trainers and jockeys on the planet, all inside the intimate, tree-lined limestone setting that makes Keeneland unlike any other track in America. If you are anywhere in Central Kentucky, this is the event of the year — and the single busiest traffic weekend Fayette County will see in 2026.

Keeneland parking fills early on an ordinary Fall Meet Saturday. On Breeders’ Cup weekend, with tens of thousands of visitors converging on Versailles Road, it becomes the defining logistical challenge of the entire trip. This is exactly where a private chauffeured van changes everything: Kentucky Legacy Tours drops your group at the gate, waits nearby for the length of the card, and is there the moment you walk out — no parking pass, no shuttle line, and no one in your party stuck as the designated driver.

The smartest itineraries treat the races as the centerpiece of a longer weekend — a morning at a working Thoroughbred farm, a private bourbon tour, dinner reservations downtown, and airport transfers from Blue Grass or Louisville, all handled by one local operator. Because Kentucky Legacy Tours is a Kentucky company, the same chauffeur who collects you at the airport can take you to the farm, the track and dinner, and bring you home.

The Perfect Lexington Breeders’ Cup Weekend: Horse Farms, Bourbon and the Races

Lexington calls itself the Horse Capital of the World, and Breeders’ Cup weekend is when it proves the title. With the World Championships coming to Keeneland on October 30–31, 2026, thousands of visitors will build entire trips around the two race days — and the ones who plan well will remember far more than just the racing.

Everything worth doing sits within about an hour of downtown Lexington: roughly 450 Thoroughbred farms, the classic distilleries of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and Keeneland itself. Arrive Thursday and spend the afternoon on a private Thoroughbred farm tour, standing beside Kentucky Derby winners and watching foals in the paddocks.

Friday, run the Central Bourbon Tour in the morning — Woodford Reserve on Glenn’s Creek, Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Four Roses and Wild Turkey along the Kentucky River — then head to Keeneland for Future Stars Friday, the two-year-old championship card. Because your chauffeur handles the drive between distilleries and delivers you straight to the gate, nobody has to choose between enjoying the tastings and staying sharp for the races.

Saturday is the main event: nine Grade I races culminating in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic. Dress the part, arrive at the gate rather than a distant lot, and let the tailgating supplies ride with you on the van. When the last race is done and forty thousand people head for their cars, your chauffeur is waiting in the same spot to take your group to dinner or back to the hotel.

From Louisville to the Breeders’ Cup: Whiskey Row, Churchill Downs and the Road to Keeneland

Not everyone attending the 2026 Breeders’ Cup will stay in Lexington. Many visitors fly into Louisville International, book rooms downtown, or simply want to combine the World Championships at Keeneland with the city that gave the world the Kentucky Derby. If that is you, you are in an ideal spot — Louisville sits about 80 minutes west of Keeneland, close enough to make the races an easy day trip and rich enough to fill the rest of the weekend.

Downtown Louisville packs more distilleries into a few walkable blocks than anywhere else in the state. The Urban Bourbon Tour visits the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, Angel’s Envy, Old Forester on Whiskey Row and more — the perfect Friday or Sunday bookend to the racing at Keeneland.

You cannot come to Louisville for the biggest weekend in racing and ignore the most famous racetrack on earth. The Kentucky Derby Museum and private Churchill Downs tours let your group walk the grounds, ride out to the track, and take in the twin spires where the Derby is run each May — two legendary Kentucky tracks in one weekend.

On race day, leave the logistics to your chauffeur and enjoy the ride east. Kentucky Legacy Tours runs the Louisville-to-Keeneland corridor as a single booking — gate drop-off in Lexington, waiting for the full card, and the return trip to Louisville afterward. No rental car, no navigating unfamiliar race-day traffic on Versailles Road, and no designated driver.
