Great for history buffs!

Beautiful homes, fascinating history! Gabe did a great job, he knows the area well and did a great job answering questions.

Excellent tour guide

I love Gabe's knowledge of the place and the history he brought to it. We loved everything about the trip. Especially the walk through the courtyards. From his knowledge we discovered a trip to go see the trolls. We would have missed out on that trip if it wasn't for him.

Be prepared to fall in...

Be prepared to fall in love with Old Louisville and start looking at real estate immediately :) Val did an amazing job! It was rich with history and fun stories, as well as a mini-education on architecture throughout the neighborhood. The tour was the perfect length and distance to really get a feel for the area. We all loved it!

Interesting architecture...

Interesting architecture and history of the area. A part of Louisville that we would not have seen if we had not signed up for the tour. Our guide was delightful!
