Am Impressed Louisville Native
Jessica_S, Jun 2023
I can say I was thoroughly impressed by this walking tour. As a Louisville native, I was surprised at how much I didn’t know about Old Louisville, its history, and its hauntings. The stories told were so fascinating. Our tour guide was such a good story teller, made sure questions were answered, and gave us time to take photos. We even brought our dog along with us and had no problems with that. I would recommend this to anyone whether they’re from out of town or lived in Louisville their whole lives. I guarantee you’ll learn something new!

We love it when locals join our tours and learn something about their own city! Thanks so much for coming out!
Very informative and exciting

Tha murda houze was awesome. Our tour guide was also super articulate and thorough and didn’t stumble over their words once, which was incredibly impressive.

Ghost 👻 Tour June 3, 2023 730pm
Catherine_C, Jun 2023
Our tour guide was absolutely amazing and had all the stories on point! This was by far the very best ghost tour we have been on! The homes are extremely beautiful to look at. We didn’t have any problems finding our group. Friendly people and a fun few hours. Definitely worth the money! Make sure you have your walking shoes on. Our tour lasted almost two hours. Tour guide made sure we knew where we could find all these stories on different show programs and the upcoming investigations! She had photos for us to look at so that we could decide on our own thoughts. Our guide knew her business so well and had a few encounters with certain ghosts that she shared with us as well.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you so much for the nice words! We're glad you had the opportunity to spend time with us in Old Louisville!
Not worth it
Meliton_G, Jun 2023
The tour is boring and a scam. Recommend you spend your money else where. Your guides monotone voice will put you to sleep at every stop. You are better off just signing up for a history tour rather than haunted tour as that is what this was.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Sorry you didn't enjoy your tour! As you can see, you're in the minority, but we're glad you came to Old Louisville!
Great time, great stories.
Julie_G, Jun 2023
I went on the tour with my 16 year old son. He thought it was going to be boring. After, he shared how much he enjoyed the tour and wanted to learn more. Thank you David!
