Old Louisville Walking Tour as Recommended by The New York Times!
A stretch of South Third Street, the old Millionaires Row where titans of tobacco, bourbon barons, and racetrack royalty made their homes in the late 1800s
Wherever you look in Old Louisville, there is always something new to discover.
Venetian Gothic arches make the Hindman Briscoe House on St. James Court one of the most interesting examples of Victorian architecture in the state.

Excellent tour, take this first when you get to town.
Thaddeus_M

If you're visiting town for a few days, make this tour one of the first things you do there. We found Louisville to be a difficult town to "figure out" of what things to go do and see and what's open when. If nothing else, this tour gives you some great jumping off points for things to do while in town and gives a great history of the City.

David Was Amazing!
Danielle_P
, Sep 2021
I only had about 9hrs to explore Louisville for myself, and I'm extremely glad that I booked this walking tour last minute. For the price, it was worth the knowledge our guide, David, had about the city and the architecture in the area. He took us to parts of Old Louisville that I would have never known to visit on my own, and provided a lot of historical knowledge about the style of architecture, to the original owners of rhe buildings, and the families who owned the buildings after that. I would definitely come back and take his Ghost Tour sometime in the future (god willing) and I'll definitely be recommending him to any of my friends and customers who decide to visit.
