Traveler reviews
Under-rated Old Louisville is a must stop
I was lucky to have David as my guide, and he's an amazing source of knowledge about Old Louisville. This part of the city doesn't get the attention the usual spots do--like the Derby, Bourbon Trail and Slugger Museum--but it should. David walked me through such a great collection of vintage homes and weaved in all the history too. A highlight of my Louisville visit.
Great for our guests and us
Superb in every way. Our guide, Gabe, has a clear and resonate voice, knows the subject well.
AMAZING GUIDED TOUR
I was part of a fun group , 7 other folks from different states/countries. Angelique did a great job leading our tour of historic homes. She was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. We survived a little rain. I recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the history of Louisville.
Fascinating area, Harlan was a stellar guide
Really enjoyed the tour, and our guide Harlan made it so special. She's knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and we learned a lot from her.
Don’t miss this walking tour!
Our guide, Gabe, was extremely knowledgeable about the historic district- interjecting many interesting facts and stories about the old houses and people that lived there. One of the best tours we have ever experienced!
