I'm trying the make a horizontal scrollable bootstrap row. The row contains customer reviews wrapped in div's. The width of each testimonial div is 33.333%

In Bootstrap 4 you will need to add

Solution 5 - Html
put these lines in your CSS file
.section-title {
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: scroll;
overflow-y:hidden
}
the x is for horizontal and y is for vertical, apply class code in parent div in which many div's are nested.
Solution 6 - Html
You can use:
class="text-nowrap overflow-auto"
Consider this example:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous">
<div class="list-group list-group-horizontal text-nowrap overflow-auto">
<a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action active">
Cras justo odio
</a>
<a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Dapibus ac facilisis in</a>
<a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Morbi leo risus</a>
<a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action">Porta ac consectetur ac</a>
<a href="#" class="list-group-item list-group-item-action disabled" tabindex="-1" aria-disabled="true">Vestibulum at eros</a>
</div>

Solution 7 - Html
I don't understand why so much struggling with all these no-wrap and flex attributes which actually only work on child elements with no text. In case there is text inside the child elements, the
white-space: nowrap;
attribute makes the whole text expand in one line having as a result text to overlap everything else and break the whole layout.
The solution is much simpler. Simply, give to the parent element the following
display: flex;
overflow-x: auto;
and then to the child elements the following
min-width: 25%;
Note: 25% for col size 3, 33.33333% for col size 4, 50% for col size 6 and so on. And there you have it. A horizontally scrollable div based on bootstrap cols for the layout.
Here is a clean sample. Fiddle
