As seen on HBO's MURDER IN GLITTERBALL CITY! 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 legend, as well as the story at the heart A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, the true-crime memoir that inspired the HBO series! 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 beautiful architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like a diverse, up-and-coming neighborhood, or can't go 2 hours without a bathroom, this is not for you! The New York Times recommends our tours as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." Locally owned and operated since 2004.

Q&A

Q: Is there a bathroom break during the Old Louisville Ghost Tour?

A: Unfortunately, there's no official bathroom break during the tour. It's about 2 hours long, so I recommend using the facilities before you start. If you're really in need, I heard you can ask the guide, David Dominé, and he may allow a quick stop, but it's best to plan ahead!

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this ghost tour?

A: The tour is generally recommended for ages 12 and up due to some spooky stories, but younger kids can join if they're okay with the themes. Just keep in mind, some tales might be a bit intense for little ones! You know your kids best.

Q: How difficult is the walking on this tour? Any tips on what to wear?

A: The walking is pretty easy, but you’ll be on your feet for a couple of hours. Wear comfortable shoes, and since it’s in Louisville, dress in layers! It can get chilly at night, especially if it’s windy. Enjoy the architecture while you walk!

Surprising Gift Idea: Old Louisville Ghost Tour!

I’m considering gifting my brother the Old Louisville Ghost Tour for his birthday. He’s a huge fan of spooky stuff, and I think he’d love the history aspect too. Has anyone taken this tour? How was the experience? I want to make sure it’s worth the hype like The New York Times said!
