Maybe skip some of the history about prohibition or condense it. I found the tour a little long. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna, our guide, did a fantastic job providing us with storytelling. The food stops were also phenomenal! We’d recommend this for all visitors to Louisville.

We had a great time and appreciate Anna’s history lessons (as well as the bourbon!) I appreciate the individual sound devices that made the tour accessible to everybody.
