Ghostly Good Time
Angelique is an engaging tour guide. She knows so much of the history of Old Louisville and is a great story teller. This was the 2nd time we’ve taken out of town family and friends on this tour. We always ask for Angelique!
Worth it
I did the 7:30 PM tour, and the whole experience lasted about two hours. We met at 4th & Ormsby and walked around Old Louisville, stopping at the Louisville Bourbon Inn, the Witches’ Tree, and several other historic homes. Our tour guide was local and had actually lived in the area near many of the homes we visited, which I thought made the tour more interesting. She also told us about some upcoming television shows that will be featuring a few of the locations, so I’ll definitely be watching for those! I really enjoyed the storytelling, although I’ll admit I was a little skeptical of some of the stories. 😂 There were so many details told from such a specific perspective that I kept thinking, How exactly do we know that happened? Were you there?! 😂 It definitely made me want to look up some of the stories afterward and learn more about the history behind them. One thing I would have really liked is the opportunity to actually go inside some of the locations. Unfortunately, we stayed outside the entire time. I would absolutely pay extra for a tour that included access to the interiors of some of these historic homes. I booked through TripAdvisor, and the process was super easy. Overall, it was fun, entertaining, and a great way to spend an evening learning about some of Louisville’s spooky history.
Cool mansions with some history and ghost stories!
It was very hot and humid even at night. Take water even though there isn't restroom facilities. You will sweat it out. Angelique was really into the ghost sightings and was very informative. We did run long and I got very hot. Overall we enjoyed the experience and thought she did a great job!
The Witches Tree - yikes!
We had a great walking tour with Harlan. She was well versed in the history of old Louisville including several ghost stories. It was interesting to find out that we were walking on the opposite side of the road as the Witches Tree because the local witches were actively putting curses on people. Apparently, the coven has their own Instagram page. Who knew? Definitely a fun and interesting evening.
Spooky fun 👻
Harlan and Angelique are incredible guides. They play off each others personalities and knowledge well and I learned so much about the haunted history of the neighborhood. So weird I went my whole life in louisville and never knew how cool old louisville is! Recommend Harlan and Angelique tour any day.
