Highly Recommend - Highly recommend especially if it’s your first time visiting Louisville. Our tour guide, Greta, was knowledgeable, personable and you can tell she thoroughly enjoys the city and wants to share that experience with her guests. Great overview about prohibition, bourbon, history, ghosts while enjoying some tasty cocktails. Plus, they provide headsets so that Greta didn’t have to shout over other noise and you can hear everything she said. It’s a game changer!

Ghost stories, history and Bourbon. What more could you ask for?!? - Greta was so knowledgeable, the ghost stories were fascinating. I enjoyed the story of Carrie Nation the crazy lady that she was, however justified. I would recommend this to anyone coming to Louisville.
