March through November, daily; limited dates in the off-season! Impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville, where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled in the 1800s. This narrated walk comes from books by David Dominé, who often guides groups himself. Tales involve personal experiences and neighborhood gossip. The New York Times recommends this as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." You'll also learn about A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, David's next book—out in October 2021! Specializing in "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood," we depart from the corner of Fourth and Ormsby, at the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love old architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming neighborhood with a diverse racial make up, this tour is not for you! If you can't go 100 minutes without a bathroom, this is not for you!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for the Old Louisville Ghost Tour? Can I bring my 10-year-old?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Old Louisville Ghost Tour, but it's recommended for older kids and adults. The stories can get a bit spooky, so it really depends on how your child handles that kind of content. If your 10-year-old enjoys ghost stories and isn't easily scared, they should be fine!

Q: How long does the tour last, and what should I wear?

A: The tour typically lasts about 100 minutes. Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you'll be on your feet for a while. Dress for the weather too—Louisville can get chilly in the evenings, so layering is a good idea!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, if the weather's too bad for the tour to happen, you can reschedule your tickets. Just keep an eye on the forecast and maybe call ahead to confirm any changes. It's always best to check right before your planned date.

Thinking of gifting the Old Louisville Ghost Tour! Any tips?

I’m planning to surprise my friend with the Old Louisville Ghost Tour since they love spooky stuff! I heard it’s super interesting with David Dominé's storytelling. Do you all think a weeknight is too busy or should I go for it? Also, any must-see spots along the way?

Just did the Old Louisville Ghost Tour—what an experience!

I went on the Old Louisville Ghost Tour last weekend, and wow, what a blast! The guide was super engaging and had some wild stories. The neighborhood is stunning at night. It was chilly, so I’m glad I wore layers. If you're thinking about going, definitely do it! It's a nice mix of history and spookiness.
