What to Expect

Come see why The New York Times recommends the ORIGINAL Old Louisville Walking Tour. This is the neighborhood that supplies the backdrop for much of the HBO Original Murder in Glitterball City!

Locally owned and operated for more than 20 years, we offer the most comprehensive introduction to Old Louisville—one of the largest historic preservation districts in the United States. Our tour is more comprehensive and richer in storytelling than any other in the neighborhood.

Over nearly two leisurely hours, you’ll hear tales of bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and tobacco titans who made St. James Court and Millionaires Row their homes. Explore the stately residences near Ormsby Avenue and around Olmsted-designed Central Park, and step inside hidden gems like Floral Terrace and Belgravia Court, hidden areas most visitors would never find on their own.

This is the original. This is Old Louisville at its finest.
