Walking tours of "America's Grandest Victorian Neighborhood" year-round 7 days a week! As featured in the HBO Original Murder in Glitterball City! The New York Times recommends our tours as a MUST during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." Our tours include more than St. James Court, unlike other local organizations that have copied us. We visit Ormsby Avenue, Central Park, hidden Floral Terrace, the Witches' Tree, and Millionaires Row, where Bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled in the 1800s. Today, impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville. Our narrated walks depart from the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love old houses, this is the tour for you! If you can't go 2 hours without a bathroom, this tour is not for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming, diverse neighborhood, please stay home. Private and group tours available as well.

Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to do the Old Louisville Walking Tour? Any weather concerns?

A: Honestly, spring and fall are the best for this tour! The weather is usually mild, and the colors in the parks are stunning. Summer can get pretty hot, so make sure to stay hydrated. Just check the forecast because if there's heavy rain, they might cancel, but they'll usually notify you ahead of time.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Old Louisville Walking Tour?

A: There aren't strict age restrictions, but I would say it’s best for teens and adults. Little ones might get bored, and the tour lasts about 2 hours. If you have younger kids, you could consider a private tour, but a stroller might be a hassle on some streets.

Q: How do the private tours differ from the regular ones? Are they worth the extra cost?

A: Private tours let you customize the experience a lot more, which can be great for groups. The guide will cater to your interests and can spend more time in areas you find interesting. They’re a bit more expensive, but if you're celebrating a special occasion, they can be totally worth it!

Just did the Old Louisville Walking Tour and loved it!

I took the Old Louisville Walking Tour last weekend, and wow, it did not disappoint! Our guide was really knowledgeable about the history behind the mansions. I particularly loved the stop at the Witches' Tree. The vibe in Old Louisville is so unique and charming. I’d definitely recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves history or architecture. Just make sure they can handle a bit of walking!

Thinking of gifting the Old Louisville Walking Tour, any thoughts?

I wanna gift the Old Louisville Walking Tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love exploring new places and enjoy history. Do you think it’s a good idea? How’s the tour experience? Any tips on what to wear or bring?
