Fantastic tour and guide

A very informative and entertaining tour!

Erica was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who gave us great information about the houses and the neighborhood, but she also entertained our more general questions about Louisville, history, geography, and more. She was mindful about finding shade for the walkers on a hot day, and most importantly, shared her clear enthusiasm with all the participants.
Interesting tour if you like architecture

Very informative tour about some of the beautiful old Victorian homes in the neighborhood around Central Park., Wonderful guide who knew all the answers to our questions. Wished we could have gone inside to see some of these homes, but that is apparently only at Christmas time. Guess we will just have to come back!
Great for a Solo Trip

Interesting architecture and all so different, but yet all beautiful! Imagine the creativity in the late 1800s. Incredible. Beautiful day to be walking around in Historic Louisville, too.

Your operators need to be better informed on when the tours are actually going to be held

We booked a walking tour and your representative kindly took all my information and my money and when we got there the following day there was no tour given that day. We have had a hell of a time trying to get a hold of somebody to get her money back.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Just for clarification. The tour guide was onsite and waited about 5 minutes past the 1:30 pm time slot for your group to arrive. When it did not the guide started the tour with other paying attendees. We are sorry you had difficulty, but this is not a "private" tour. We have to accommodate all of our paying guests in a timely manner and stay on schedule. We will gladly refund your tickets.

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the houses, types of houses and even knows the names of some of the dogs in the houses. She even gave us a little more history about Louisville as well. Highly recommend.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
