Allison is a great tour guide, fun and knowledgeable! We tried pretzels and beer cheese dip, saw where Thomas Edison lived for awhile in Germantown, ate 3 kinds of white gravy and biscuits, tried burgoo, fried chicken, Muth’s candy, and ice cream while learning about Nulu.

Fabulous tour and Monica is knowledgeable and sweet.

Monica and all of the people we encountered were fabulous! Everything from the history, the cocktails, the food and finally the tasting at the Tasting Room were more than we could have asked for. Everyone is so friendly and make you feel like friends.

carolyncdarda, Aug 2026

A must see in Louisville 10 stars!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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! It was so exciting and felt like we were at a race!The outside tour was great! Just to see the track in person. The museum really highlights all the history of the Kentucky derby from the beginning.

Historic Walking Tour of Victorian Louisville with Food & Bourbon

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.

Great day in Bourbon country

We had a great experience. Our tour guide Jorie was great from start to finish and even got to bring us to a fourth spot! No problems with pickup, communication, or timing for all Of our stops. My only recommendation would be to have a cooler to keep the complimentary waters cold, but overall would definitely come back!

ORIGINAL Old Louisville Walking Tour seen in The New York Times!

Joanie_R, Jul 2026

Great tour, weather uncooperative

We were totally enjoying the tour and learning so much about architecture and history of the neighborhood when there was an unpredicted downpour that wasn’t letting up so last hour of tour had to be cancelled. Our guide, Angelique, was wonderful. We appreciate everything she did to make our experience a good one. But you can’t fight Mother Nature.

Louisville Food and History tour is great

It was lots of food and lots of interesting history. We enjoyed a fried chicken sandwich with Cole slaw and pickle on it. We enjoyed a pretzel (huge) with beer cheese to dip it into, chocolates that were to die for, a hot brown sandwich and derby pie ice cream. It was a lot of yummy food.

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: Ghosts, Cocktails, & Bites 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.

Kentucky Bourbon Experience: 3 Iconic Distilleries & Tastings

James_O, Apr 2026

Great day touring distilleries !

Awesome full day tour with Jorg. Started with great communication back-and-forth from the moment of booking. We made some changes before and during the day and it was no problem for him. He found several additional small distilleries that we had never heard of to stop to get some extra experience on our tour. Definitely a personal touch getting us all in at each Stop with no problems. Would absolutely do this again, especially since you can change up the distilleries each visit.
