Interesting and Informative - I recommend booking if you're not from Louisville, especially if you're in the city for the Derby as you'll get to hear some spooky stories from past years ! Our guide Jessica was friendly and a great storyteller.

He was a very good story teller and my group of 4 enjoyed listening to his stories of history and ghosts that haunt Loui - If you enjoy Historic Events and Ghost Haunting stories I recommend this. The walking was short distance.

Fun tour - It was a fun time! The stories were intriguing and our guide was knowledgeable about both the history of ghosts in Louisville and the history of the city itself.

Kate provided a lot of information and a wonderful experience. - Kate was a joy to be around. She was very knowledgeable and you could feel her passion for her hometown in her stories. She made sure we all felt safe and comfortable throughout our tour and we all had a great time. Kate is very quirky and kind and she did a phenomenal job delivering a wonderfully informative experience. Would go back.

No Show - No Go - The Tour Guide must have been a ghost because the entire tour group of 11 never saw it appeared. We were extremely disappointed. 👻

Awful, scammy, not as advertised - We went to none of the stops mentioned in the online itinerary. The stops we did go to seemed pretty random and it was clear the guide was making stuff up (one of the ghosts haunting Louisville is supposedly Muhammad Ali?). The information was un-researched, there was little detail provided about identities of the “ghosts” and years which events happened. It was clear she was making up history. Saying that King Louis 17th raised taxes on Louisville to finance the south during the civil war. When asked about general Louisville monuments that we passed, the guide did not know anything. It seems like this online listing was created using AI (upon further research some of the WALKING stops aren’t even possible to walk to in the time frame) to see who would show up, then they made up random stuff to fill the time when we we did show up
