Attractively priced at $10 per person for groups of 5 to 15, this EXCLUSIVE tour is for those who don't have much time, but still want to see and learn a lot about the fascinating Old Louisville neighborhood. Only 1 or 2 in your party? No worries, you can still book this as a private tour! At the pace YOU set, stroll shady walking courts in the gas-lamp district and down the city's old Millionaires Row where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and the titans of tobacco made their homes. Landmarks you'll admire from the sidewalks include the Samuel Culbertson Mansion, Conrad's Castle, the William Wathen House, the Pink Palace, and the emblematic Fountain at St. James Court. On this jaunt you'll be treated to a treasure trove of grand architecture from the late 1800s, including stunning examples of Richardsonian Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles, not to mention many variations on the Italianate, Châteauesque, Queen Anne, Federal, Neo-Georgian, and Arts & Crafts genres.
