Excellent Drinks, Food, and History

Our tour guide Allison was excellent- full of positive energy and information. I paid for the special pour upgrade and it was worth it. You’ll visit several “speakeasy” locations and get a history of each place while you enjoy fantastic drinks and some food (the food highlight being the beer cheese bread at our second stop). You get a good walkthrough of downtown Louisville on the tour to see the area. At the end of the tour I took a quick Uber to the Big 4 Footbridge and walked across the Ohio River to Indiana at sunset - recommended!
Great way to learn about the city

Great was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the city and history. And she did a great job using the jokes that she wanted to, even though we told her she didn’t have to.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Our guide Christina was so welcoming and personable. It felt more like a friend showing us around town as opposed to a formal guided tour. Christina had a ton of useful suggestions about things to do for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend the tour and Christina as a guide.
