Disappointing

Based on the other reviews we had high hopes for this tour. Old town Louisville at night seemed like the perfect setting for ghosts. However, the stories were more about houses and not spooky at all, and the tour guide was just not good. I hope that this was a one-off and that others have a better experience!

Visit of Louisville

Val was fun and very informative. The spooky factor was not that strong but the stories and walk were entertaining.

Perfect fall evening tour

Harlan was excellent! She had great stories and the places we visited were definitely eerie. I wanted more on the murder house, even though I already watched the documentary.

Thank you Harlan for a wonderful experience!

Harlan was extremely friendly, gracious and an excellent storyteller! The route and the specific houses on the tour were very good choices and the stories themselves were perfect for the tour.

Angelique is a great storyteller!

We did the 7 pm tour and enjoyed hearing all of the stories and seeing all of the beautiful homes.
