Additional Information

This guided walking tour of the historic Highlands district showcases Louisville and Kentucky’s history through its food. As you stroll the oldest and most representative streets of Louisville, you’ll sample (and drink) delectable local products; visit the graves of Muhammad Ali and Colonel Sanders; taste a dish reminiscent of the Hot Brown at Muhammad Ali’s past boxing gym; savor bourbon at the oldest bar in Louisville; follow the journey of the immigrants who molded the city; and marvel at luxurious Victorian residences and classic architecture.

The Highlands district is one of Louisville’s earliest areas and has consistently been one of its most energetic and cherished. Historic Victorian residences adorn leafy, tree-framed streets that branch from a main road leading all the way to Bourbon territory, sprinkled with bright murals, quirky stores and trendy local eateries & pubs.

Good Food. Easy Walk. - I had originally booked the NuLu Tour but not enough people signed up so I got moved to the Architecture Tour. It was a fun time and all of the food was delicious. The walk was easy. The weather was dreary but that’s out of anyone’s control. 5 stops total 4 with food and an alcoholic drink and 1 was just a bourbon tasting.

Fun drinks and food. - Regina gave a lot of detail and was very nice. Loved the food I probably would never order. Drinks were perfect. The walk is not too long and the different bars are great for history and the unique drinks.

Great experience - My wife this awesome to far us , just for a weekend get away from the burdens from work, she knows I’m a big fan of history. Cathy was existentially amazing , patient and explained an amount of information. Not to mention I was impressed with the safety and communication strategies.

Good time - Ren was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide but had one person smoke and understand it was outside but very bad for the rest of us non smokers. He could have been considerate and went to the back if he had to have that smoke as we had headphones but he stayed up front and when we said something he got upset so rest of tour was uncomfortable. Places we stopped for food were great
