March through November, daily; limited dates in the off-season!

Impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville, where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled in the 1800s. This narrated walk comes from books by David Dominé, who often guides groups himself. Tales involve personal experiences and neighborhood gossip. The New York Times recommends this as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." You'll also learn about A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, David's next book—out in October 2021!

Specializing in "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood," we depart from the corner of Fourth and Ormsby, at the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love old architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming neighborhood with a diverse racial make up, this tour is not for you! If you can't go 100 minutes without a bathroom, this is not for you!

    This tour gave me chills!!!! Excellent tour that covered the history, haunting, AND TRUE CRIME, of old Louisville. Angelique was amazing and her perspectives all the more potent as she lives in the area and has participated in the studies and examinations. She gives shows and which season and episode for all the houses that have been featured. 100% recommend. Big thnk you from our big group.

    Our guide was very articulate, giving vivid descriptions of the events so you could imagine them happening. She was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. She knew not only about the ghost history of the houses on the tour, but about other places in Louisville and she gave great suggestions of other places to visit. 100 minutes of fun at night.
