It’s for locals too!! - It was such a fun experience, as a local! I learned tons about my beloved city I’d never known before. And the food and drink….delish!! Christina was incredible! She knew her stuff, and it was clear how much she loved sharing her city with us! Did the NuLu tour, and I can’t wait to try out the others! This is definitely for locals too!! Thanks, Christina!

Surprisingly good time in Louisville! - Cathy gave a very informative and fun tour about the history of bourbon. The company chose really interesting spots with delicious food and drinks, including a speakeasy that is exactly what you would picture a Prohibition speakeasy to look like. We ran into the owner having dinner at one of the restaurants on the tour so they really believe in the businesses that they partner with. We pretty much had a full 4 course meal and drinks with each course so definitely worth the money.

Informative Food walking tour with good food. - Despite the rain, we had a great time. Our tour guide was very friend and extremely knowledgeable. We have been on 40+ tours in Kentucky and we seem to learn something new with each new tour we take. They accommodated my boyfriend with his gluten allergy with each stop which was an added plus! I wish they would have offered umbrella's as the description did say they would have extra in case of weather. The other wish was that the meet place was explained better. It just had an address, no name and no name as to who you were meeting. We especially enjoyed the underground speakeasy, very cool!
