Historic Charm Tour — is a Must! - We have been converted! Thanks to Greta, we are now well-versed in bourbon-ology! Along with this, we had the pleasure of learning a plethora of historic facts about Louisville. Greta is a wealth of knowledge, witty, and a ton-o-fun! We definitely recommend this tour and can’t wait to come back to visit!

Happy in the Highlands - Beautiful neighborhood with a knowledgeable tour guide who lives here. Be ready to walk and learn and enjoy delicious food and drinks. Strong Irish and German roots in this neighborhood, but with a local twist. So fun!

Great food and drink for light drinkers - Regina was so interesting and so knowledgeable. Lots of food and drinks. Didn't have to walk far. The "charm' part had some run down houses which I'm sure were beautiful in it's day. I would definitely take another tour with this company.

Food and history tour - History and food are great. Our guide Ana did a great job making this tour fun.Learn a lot about the history and culture of the city. The food was great. Only that there were four alcoholic drinks that made me swirling. Definitely will come back to the city for another tour. I feel there are a lot left to me to explore.
