2-hr Day or Night PRIVATE Haunted Old Louisville Walk (1-15 pp)
★★★★★ Amazing private tour—and an incredible value!
After watching the HBO Original documentary Murder in Glitterball City, I wanted to see more of Old Louisville for myself, and this tour absolutely delivered. One of the biggest advantages is the flexibility. Unlike most walking tours that leave at one or two fixed times, this is a private tour that can be scheduled almost anytime between 8:00 AM and 10:00 PM, seven days a week. That made planning around the rest of our Louisville trip incredibly easy. The value is outstanding. It's just $150 total for up to five people, so if you have a group of five, that's only $30 per person for a completely private experience. Even better, you can add more people (up to 15 total), bringing the cost down to only $16 per person—still with your own private guide. That's hard to beat. And if you want to splurge and have a private tour just for yourself and/or your significant other or friend, it's still a bargain. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Old Louisville's history, architecture, and ghost stories. We loved being able to ask questions, linger where we wanted, and tailor the experience to our interests—something you simply can't do on a large group tour. Added bonus? We ran into David Dominé, the author whose book inspired the HBO show, along the way and he stopped and chatted and answered the many questions we had! Whether you're interested in the HBO documentary, true crime, Victorian architecture, Louisville history, or just want a fascinating walk through one of America's most beautiful historic neighborhoods, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. If you're looking for a private experience with exceptional flexibility and value, this is it.
