The tour director arrived at the appointed time and place. He was very personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. Answered questions. We never felt rushed. He had an interesting background. We learned so much about the history, development, and movers and shakers of early Louisville. It was a great manageable walk and beautiful neighborhoods. David shared interesting local lore and legend with us. We highly recommend this tour...we so enjoyed it.

Had a great time on the walking ghost tour of Old Louisville tonight! I’m local but wanted to do something spooky for the Halloween season. We had a blast and learned a lot of new information/stories about the city! Quinton was great. He clearly knows a lot of history and is a theater kid, which I love and adds to his ability to tell stories. It was even fun in the rain. I’d highly recommend this tour.

We loved our historic walking tour with David, a master storyteller who loves his chosen city. My husband and I found it the perfect way to orient ourselves to Louisville- he loves architecture and I love history and this tour had both. Plus, you’ll hear about the infamous witches tree and you’ll get to stroll down hidden walkways, themselves out of a storybook, whoch you’d never find on your own. We highly recommend this tour to anyone- out-of-towners (like us) and locals, too!

Our family had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Angelique, was engaging, very knowledgeable, and easy to listen to. It was very nice she used a microphone so everyone could hear her nice and clear. Even though, the weather was hot and humid, the walk and terrain was easily manageable. The houses and architecture were just beautiful! I felt like I was in another world walking through the courtyards, simply amazing. The stories were the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this tour, it does not disappoint!

Awesome tour! David was extremely knowledgeable and shows us around an incredible neighbourhood. Can’t imagine a better tour to start with in Louisville. Great representation of the city, interesting history and well worth the trip. Ended up doing both the Original Tour and the Ghost Tour. Both great. Highly recommend.
