Great activity for foodies! - Thank you for such a fabulous day in the highlands. Highly recommend!! Christina is a charismatic guide with colorful stories and great historical commentary. As a foodie, I was impressed with the dining selections (and additional recommendations). Don’t eat breakfast beforehand, we all left with boxes of leftovers! Cocktails were delightful. This a “don’t miss” activity for tourists and locals alike. Can’t wait to check out your other tours when I return!

Great food and great fun!! - A year ago, my husband and I booked a food tour in downtown Louisville for our anniversary and had the best time. It was the Phantoms of Prohibition Tour. The food and drinks were amazing, as well as the experience and learning history and lore of Louisville. At that time, our guide was Greta and she did an amazing job! Fast forward to our anniversary this year and we booked the Highlands Tour for our anniversary. We were very excited to arrive at our starting point and find out that once again Greta was our guide! She is so good at sharing history and does the research in order to give lots of information. She is also good at explaining the food and drinks that are served and their significance to the experience. I highly recommend the Louisville Food Tours and if you have Greta as your guide, you won't be disappointed!
