Top Louisville How to Get Around - page 2

See a different, darker side of Louisville on this ghost and true crime tour. Wander through the downtown area while you listen to chilling facts and sinister stories about the city that you won’t find in the guidebooks. As you hear tales of murderers, mobsters, and bootleggers, be sure to keep an eye out for any specters that might be haunting the streets.

Downtown Louisville has a rhythm all its own, where river air carries the sweet, oaky scent of aging barrels and cast-iron facades on historic Whiskey Row tell the story of bourbon pioneers.

As we wander Museum Row and the riverside, you'll indulge in spirit-infused chocolates revealing deep notes of Kentucky's finest bourbon, bite into a Short Rib Grilled Cheese with braised short ribs, gruyère, provolone and caramelized onions on toasted homemade brioche, and dip warm pretzels into zesty beer cheese, a regional staple with deep Kentucky roots. Because we keep groups to a maximum of 12 guests, it feels like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots. We'll also stop at a family-run dairy churning premium ice cream since the 1800s, and pause for our Secret Dish, a savory, melted tribute to this city's legendary comfort food tradition!
