Great tour of the historic Highlands area! - We had a very enjoyable tour with our guide, Allison. She said she was not an actress, but she was definitely an entertainer! She was knowledgeable about the history of the area, the types of homes, the food and the bourbon. The selection of food and drink definitely gave us a great sampling of the area. I would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful Louisville neighborhood! - Christina was our excellent tour guide for a walk through this lovely neighborhood in Louisville. So many beautiful Victorian homes! Plus, we had tasty snacks and drinks at several stops. Hubby and I really enjoyed Christina's obvious love for the history and culture of the area, as well as her stories about the history of Louisville.

Food, booze, charming homes - GRETA was a great guide! She did an amazing job even with some of the group continually talking. It was helpful to have the headphones so that I could hear all the interesting things that she had to say.
