The whole experience was really nice. Onel our driver was knowledgeable and friendly. He kept us on track and shared a lot of information about the area. Since the whole bourbon tour experience was new to us, the company was helpful with planning where we wanted to go. The distilleries are far apart so you’re in the car a long time, but we didn’t want to drive for this first experience. Now we feel if we go back we will be able to navigate the area on our own. We were celebrating my son’s 30th birthday at everyone made his day special. I highly recommend this tour.

Louisville 3-Hour Bourbon Trolley Tour with Distillery & Tastings

Deborah_R, Sept 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!

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

stephen_d, Aug 2026

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.

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.

Walking Ghost Tour in Louisville

Alison_D, Jun 2026

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

Amy_T, Jun 2026

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 Cocktails & Dinner 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.
