Local history + good food - Went to Louisville with my daughter to visit family, and we did the NuLu walking tour. Anna was great, shared lots of interesting facts about the area, and we got to try lots of different local foods.

Just a thought - Tour guide Cathy was very nice and knowledgeable about the city. Just some of the areas were really tour up and not very nice. Nothing Cathy did just thinking maybe the tour could go other places. Food was very good wish the brown was on the tour since it is a big foodie for Louisville

SO MUCH FOOD - The establishments chosen for stops were well thought out and showed the great diversity of the area. They represented Louisville well. And there was so much food, more food than I've ever had in food tours in other cities! The history part of the tour was somewhat disjointed and sometimes hard to follow.
