90-Minute Ghost Tour Louisville: Haunted Landmarks After DarkA 90-minute guided walking tour of downtown Louisville's most haunted landmarks, led by a costumed guide with a lantern through the shadow-filled streets. You'll visit the Old City Jail, the Seelbach Hotel, the Brennan House, the Palace Theatre, and other sites where documented hauntings have occurred over decades. The tour operates year-round and is wheelchair accessible.Is it for me?Book this if you're staying downtown or can reach the meeting point on foot—the entire tour covers the route walking through the city center.
Bardstown Bourbon & Food Tour: 4 stops, local guideA guided walking food and bourbon tasting tour through downtown Bardstown, KY, stopping at four local restaurants and bars for regional dishes and handcrafted bourbon pairings. The tour lasts about three hours, covers roughly one mile, and includes all food and drink samples plus a gift bag. You must be 21 or older to join.Is it for me?Book this if you want a local guide leading you through four tasting stops with full-sized samples and bourbon sips—not a quick bites tour—and prefer walking as a group rather than navigating solo.
Kentucky Bourbon Distilleries Tour: Tastings & Barrel ExperienceYou’ll breathe in Kentucky’s bourbon country from inside working distilleries—sampling straight from barrels at Buffalo Trace or sipping new flavors at Maker’s Mark—with a local guide who shares real stories along the way. Expect laughter between tastings, hands-on moments with barrels, and that warm feeling only good bourbon (and company) brings.
Private Louisville Food Tour: 3 Hours, 3 NeighborhoodsA private guided food tour of Louisville lasting three hours, led by a local guide through one of three neighborhoods—NuLu, the Historic Highlands, or Whiskey Row—with bourbon pours, craft cocktails, and 8–10 small bites at restaurants and tasting rooms. The tour includes a full meal's worth of samples and covers the city's bourbon heritage, Prohibition history, and culinary traditions. Children from age 1 are welcome; the tour is wheelchair accessible.Is it for me?Book the Bourbon & Bites tour if you want bourbon history and evening energy in NuLu; the Phantoms of Prohibition if Whiskey Row's speakeasy past and ghost stories appeal to you; the NuLu Food & History tour if you prefer daytime walking and Kentucky regional classics; the Highlands tour if you want to see Muhammad Ali and Colonel Sanders sites while tasting bourbon in the city's oldest bar. All four are private, so the group stays small and the pace is yours.
