This is a walking tour and we covered a little over 2 miles in the 3 hours of the tour. You learn a lot of history of the city of Louisville and get to taste foods that Louisville is famous for. There is a lot of food and you definitely do not want to eat breakfast before the tour that starts at 11:00 a.m. Our guide was Cathy and she was very knowledgeable and entertaining in her delivery of the city's history.

B&C Bourbon Experience Tour

LisaMende, Nov 2026

An Absolutely Wonderful Bourbon Trail Experience!

We had the best day exploring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with Belkis! From start to finish, she took wonderful care of us and made the day feel effortless. Our favorite stop was Buffalo Trace, where our guide, Al, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience especially memorable. Woodford Reserve offered a completely different but equally enjoyable experience, and the beautiful grounds at Castle & Key were a treat. We also stopped for a lovely lunch at Holly Hill Inn, which was the perfect addition to our day. What really made the experience exceptional was Belkis. She thought of everything, was always there when we needed her, and even helped carry our purchases! It was those thoughtful little touches that made the day so special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Kentucky's Bourbon Trail. Worth every penny!

Louisville 3-Hour Bourbon Trolley Tour with 5 Stops & Tastings

Deborah_R, Sep 2026

Awesome Trolley tour!

This was a great trolley tour with five incredible stops. Alison was very knowledgeable and energetic throughout the entire tour. I really liked how we started out at the first stop, she showed us how to smell and taste the whiskey properly. Each stop was uniquely different and would not have known about them, unless we took this tour. Kudos to Alison and Michelle our trolley driver!

What a great experience to be in a place with so much history to stand in a place that millions of people, famous and not, flock to in May for the Kentucky derby!

Victorian Louisville Food & History Tour with Bourbon & Cocktails

Lauren_P, Aug 2026

Lots of food and drink, chill way to explore Louisville

This was a fantastic way to explore a neighborhood of Louisville that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I went with my parents and while it was hot outside, there was a good amount of shade and 75% of the tour was spent inside at different establishments, so we didn’t overheat too much. There were about 12 people in our group which kept it easy to keep moving along. Definitely come hungry, because there is plenty of food and drink along the way! Really enjoyed everything we got to try, especially the beer cheese and Hot Brown pizza. Hannah was a great tour guide and made it a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Would definitely come back to do another tour with this group!

Whispers on Whiskey Row: Murder, Crime, & Ghost Tour w/Cocktail

Best ghost tour

14 Aug, at 7PM. Had a wonderful time with our guide, Anna! She was a gifted story teller and was very organized. We loved walking around and learning about the history and hauntings of the city. The drinks were great and provided a nice break in the tour. While we were at the pub, my wife and another guest said they heard voices thru the head sets. This was a nice little added gem to our trip in Louisville. It was informative and entertaining. We had headsets so we could hear Anna at all times. She was very attentive to us and we’re happy we booked it! Also got lots of communication leading up to our meeting time so everything was smooth. We would highly recommend of other ghost tours.

Walking Ghost Tour in Louisville

Hannah was fantastic

I was the only person who signed up to show up. Hannah led me around the tour with enthusiasm and sharing great stories with me. Stopped when I wanted to take pictures of historic buildings and told me what she knew about them. She took the time to personalize the tour for me! Ghost stories were really well done too.

Old Louisville Ghost Tour as Recommended by The New York Times @ 4th and Ormsby

Best First Night Louisville Activity!

I’d flown in to Louisville for a work trip, exhausted having less than 4 hours of sleep the night before. I considered bailing, and just going to sleep. I am so glad I didn’t. Angelique was our guide. She was so fun and engaging as she told the ghost stories with lots of history. We had so much fun learning about Millionaires row and photographing it. Our Monday night group was small and we got wonderful personal attention when we asked questions. Angelique recommended other Louisville activities that we could do in the evening when we inquired. Go! You won’t regret it!!!

Phantoms of Prohibition Haunted Cocktail & Speakeasy Walking Tour

Glenda_M, May 2026

Great history and food tour.

This tour was fabulous. It is a lot of walking, about 4 mi but it stretched over 3 hours. We had a note from the tour operator that you might want to eat before the tour as you just get bites at the places where you stop. I disagree with that. There was plenty of food and had we eaten before we went we might not have been able to eat what we received on the tour. Our tour guide was Christina Shipp and she was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and the history of bourbon. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Louisville or natives, like myself, as I learned so much about my city.
