Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for this tour? Can I bring my 15-year-old?

A: Yes, there is a minimum age requirement for the Phantoms of Prohibition tour. Guests must be at least 21 years old to participate due to the alcohol served during the tour. However, mocktails are available if you want to bring someone younger along, but they won't be able to join in on the cocktails.

Q: What should we wear? Is it a lot of walking, and how about the weather?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since it's a walking tour! You’ll be on your feet for about 3 hours, and the streets can be uneven. As for clothing, dress in layers since it can get chilly in the evenings. Also, keep an eye on the weather; they will cancel for severe weather, but light rain usually won’t stop the tour.

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up? What's the cancellation policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your tour! Just make sure to contact Louisville Food Tours at least 48 hours before your scheduled time. If you cancel less than 48 hours in advance, they might not be able to refund your ticket, so try to plan accordingly. It’s a good idea to check their website for updates on policies too!

Just did the Phantoms of Prohibition tour and it was amazing!

I took the Phantoms of Prohibition tour last weekend in downtown Louisville, and wow, it blew my mind! The cocktails were so good, and the small bites paired perfectly. Our guide was super knowledgeable and had some incredible ghost stories to share. Plus, learning about the hidden speakeasies felt like stepping back in time. Anyone else done this? What was your favorite part?

Shopping for a gift and considering this tour!

I’m thinking about getting the Phantoms of Prohibition tour as a gift for my parents. They love history and cocktails! Just wondering how the experience is for older folks. Is it a lot of walking, and are the cocktails actually good? Any thoughts or tips?
