Overview

March through November, daily; limited dates in the off-season!

Impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville, where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled in the 1800s. This narrated walk comes from books by David Dominé, who often guides groups himself. Tales involve personal experiences and neighborhood gossip. The New York Times recommends this as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." You'll also learn about A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, David's next book—out in October 2021!

Specializing in "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood," we depart from the corner of Fourth and Ormsby, at the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love old architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming neighborhood with a diverse racial make up, this tour is not for you! If you can't go 100 minutes without a bathroom, this is not for you!

Experience was good but the group was way to large. 22 people in 1 group alone. There was another larger group. Was hard to hear anything due to the group size She was an amazing story teller!! Loved we could being our dogs!!

The tour guide was a great story teller and a local from the area with her own ghost stories to share! Great time!

An interesting way of learning about the history of Old Louisville, through the lens of the creepier elements of this city's past. We were so pleased to have been matched with Greta, as she was a phenomenal guide - very informative, enthusiastic, and engaging. Fun for skeptics and believers in the paranormal alike!

The vast knowledge Angelique had on all the horror stories was quite impressive! I would highly recommend this tour to others.

Easy walk, great history of the area combined with stories of ghosts. Not scary, but that’s probably because the area is well lit.
