点评:I was so looking forward to this tour and sharing Lexington horse farms with my friends who travelled far to come. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. I had requested a tour without going to Keeneland, as I had said we were going the next day. The first thing our guide said as we loaded into the van was "we're headed to Keeneland. Ok, not a big deal. We then drove around and were shown old vacated buildings that apparently at one one time had some horse farm history. We arrived at Keeneland and had to wait around for another couple who was meeting us there. After a rather uninteresting tour - that anyone could have walked around and seen, we got back on the van, We spent well over 2 hours just driving around listening to stories and being directed to look at mansions we couldn't see from the van. We unexpededly stopped at Kentucky Horse Park and were able to see a few very cool draft horses - because our guide said to me "I know you wanted to see horses". Thats what the tour was supposed to be!! We stopped at one horse farm where we were able to get out and mingle with the horses. We were hoping to learn about the horse breeding industry, see some amazing farms, etc. When the website said
"experience a close-up look at the world's premier Thoroughbred horse farms" that was what we were expecting, not spending the majority of the time driving around in a van. I have been on other horse farm tours previously that were amazing. This was not.
翻译:我非常期待这次旅行,希望和不远万里前来的朋友分享莱克星顿马场的魅力。不幸的是,这次旅行让我大失所望。我要求参加一次不去基尼兰的旅行,因为我说过我们第二天要去。我们上车后,导游说的第一句话是“我们要去基尼兰。好吧,没什么大不了的。然后我们开车转了一圈,看到了一些废弃的旧建筑,这些建筑似乎曾经有过一些马场的历史。我们到达基尼兰,不得不等待另一对在那里与我们会面的夫妇。经过一段相当无趣的旅行——任何人都可以四处走走看看——我们回到了车上,我们花了两个多小时开车四处听故事,并被指示去看我们在车上看不到的豪宅。我们意外地停在了肯塔基马公园,看到了几匹非常酷的挽马——因为我们的导游对我说“我知道你想看马”。这就是这次旅行的目的!!我们在一个马场停了下来,在那里我们可以下车和马儿们互动。我们希望了解马匹养殖业,参观一些令人惊叹的农场等。当网站上说“近距离观察世界首屈一指的纯种马场”这正是我们所期待的,而不是花大部分时间开着货车四处转。我以前参加过其他马场之旅,感觉很棒。但这次不一样。
