Horizontal scrollable div's in a bootstrap row

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%.

white-space: nowrap and display: inline-block doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong? 

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-12 text-center">
        <div class="section-title">
           <div class="testimonial_group">
               <div class="testimonial">...</div>
               <div class="testimonial">...</div>
               <div class="testimonial">...</div>
               <div class="testimonial">...</div>
               ...
           </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

    Bootstrap 4 with flexbox

    As commented by Hector, the inline-boxes solution works for Bootstrap 4 too, but requires to add display: block; for .testimonial-group > .row.

    But Bartimaeus rightly notes that for Bootstrap 4 this result is more appropriate to achieve with the help of flexbox, adding the style classes provided for this: flex-nowrap and overflow-auto.
