Eat while learning Louisville history - Cathy gave many historical tidbits of Louisville history, its cherished food and beverages, and the emerging neighborhoods, like NuLu. The tour does not shy away from unsavory parts of Louisville history. The food samples were great - pretzels, beer cheese, pulled pork, chicken tenders, etc. Non-alcoholic alternatives were offered if bourbon and vodka slushies are not your thing.

Great tour! Love NuLu - Very informative and fun. Regina was a great hostess. NuLu is a very fun district we would not have otherwise explored. Chicken is tender and bourbon slushies Rock.
