Must go if in Louisville - A must do. I picked the cheaper tour because they all sounded the same. Glad I did. You start in Central Park ( which is nice on it's own). Our tour guide was great. Once she explained the history of the neighborhood everything seemed to fall in place. Wonderful area, nice easy walk. I would say this is a MUST DO if you are in Louisville. After we finished we toured the first house on this tour. If I lived in Louisville I'd love to live in this area.

Old Louisville mansions draped in fall colors - Great walking tour to view the front facades of lots of beautiful old mansions adjacent to the Central Park Visitor Center where we met. What made my experience especially great was the perfect cool sunny fall weather and all of the gorgeous gold, orange, and red trees and bushes surrounding all the beautiful mansions! Stunning!

A great tour with so much individualized attention! - Jasmine went above and beyond with the amount of detail she shared with our group. One of our tour members was hard of hearing, so Jasmine ensured he could hear everything she reported. Her ability to blend her childhood escapades through the neighborhood with the current revival of the homes was a nice touch. She answered all our probing questions with finesse. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Touring in the rain - There were 6 people in our tour. In three hours we visited 3 restaurants and one store. Our tour guide, Cathy, was a delight. She provided us with interesting information with a positive attitude despite it raining the entire time of the tour. Our seating in the restaurants was very comfortable and the food and drinks were delicious.

Excellent tour - David gives an amazing tour; his knowledge of Louisville is excellent . He is aware of everyone’s ability to stay with the group and waits for those of us who cant get there as fast. And the story he tells about the witches tree almost makes you believe! He is definitely a story teller.
