Top Louisville Dining Experiences

Allison is a great tour guide, fun and knowledgeable! We tried pretzels and beer cheese dip, saw where Thomas Edison lived for awhile in Germantown, ate 3 kinds of white gravy and biscuits, tried burgoo, fried chicken, Muth’s candy, and ice cream while learning about Nulu.

Our food tour of downtown Louisville guided by Christina with Louisville Food Tours was outstanding in every way. First off, Christina is a true local, born in Louisville who takes well deserved pride in her community. Her history of Louisville narrative was woven seamlessly into the food history. The selection of the purveyors and the food items for tasting was logically arranged and comfortably paced. Our group of four came away with the appreciation that we had seen, heard and tasted so much of Louisville that was unlikely we would have discovered on our own. This tour also highlighted for us the difference between a locally owned tour company versus one that is a franchisee of a national chain. Much like the differences we see when we rent an AirBnb or VRBO that is owned and managed by an individual or couple versus a corporate owner of dozens or hundreds of rentals, there is an attention to the customer that is so much stronger with the locally owned tour company. We completely endorse Christina and Louisville Food Tours.

Excellent tour! Allison is a great tour guide!

Cathy was fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was excellent. My husband was pescatarian which is a challenge for many food tours, she did an excellent job of providing alternate options. Overall a great time!

We had a great time!! The food was amazing and Cathy was so much fun and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

Excellent tour - focusing on both the history of Louisville (which, we learned is pretty much responsible for everything good in the U.S. including bourbon and beer cheese) and local cuisine. An informative and entertaining time with ample samples at several local hotspots. Anna, our tour guide was wonderful. We highly recommend as an intro to Louisville’s culinary culture.

What a great way to hear about the history of Louisville and get a taste of the local foods. Anna was our guide and she was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the areas history and she took us to great food spots. She kept the group together and in the shade and we could easily hear her on our headsets.

This was an excellent tour and tasting. Cathy was a fabulous guide! You’ll be lucky if you get her. Informative, fun, and kind.

This was an excellent tour. Cathy our tour guide was fantastic. She knew all about the food and the history of the area. She made it fun as well as informative. Sh knew we all had issues with the heat so she had lots of shade breaks and longer in the restaurants. Would highly recommend.

This tour is excellent. We were exposed to a wide variety of Louisville foods, and all were delicious. We learned a good deal about the cities history, too. Our guide, Cathy, could not have been better. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and very entertaining. I hope to do other tours with this company.

I didn’t realize there would be so much historical background walking. It was very cool to hear but I would like it to be a little more restaurant heavy.

We spent a wonderful afternoon with our guide, Kathy. We have been to NULU a few times before, live in central KY, and this enhanced our knowledge of the area. She was delightful, we learned a lot of local information, and the food was wonderful. It was a relaxing trip and I would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful city and such a fun way to spend a few hours with friends!

This tour had some excellent and generous bites of food. Our tour guide, Cathy, did a great job explaining the history of both Louisville and the NuLu neighborhood. Of note was the ability of this tour to accommodate my allergies. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon! And dinner afterwards? Will be optional! It’s a lot of food!

Allison did a wonderful job of sharing both history and food knowledge of the city.

Allison was very informative, funny, and just a fantastic guide overall! And the food was pretty great too!!
