★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,201 reviews · 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours · from $27Our pick

Explore Old Louisville after dark with ghost stories, Gilded Age mansions, the Witches’ Tree, and practical tips for this 2-hour walk.

“Loved this ghost tour! Our guide Quentin is a phenomenal storyteller whose keen tales were set in Louisville’s Victorian old town with a climactic narrative and graphic visualizations. I’m still hearing whispers in my ears and feeling the icy fingers of a lost ghost child. The 90 minute walk is easy and the houses and witches tree spectacular. The guide was respectful of the residents of the homes as our group gathered to hear about crisis ghosts and residual spirits and the stigmatized “Murder House”. Old Louisville will never feel the same to me again!”

“Allison, our tour guide was full of energy, and information. Kept us going with tidbits and stories. The food and drink choices were great ! The best part was the speakeasys on the tour. What Fun ! I would definitely recommend this tour. Allison was a true professional. Towards the end of the tour, one of us in the tour fell over a random scooter on the sidewalk, Allison was right on the spot, getting ice, and a bandaid and making sure she was okay. Then I lost my wallet at the previous stop and she was right there calling the previous management and having them check for the wallet…”
