What To Expect

The Belvedere

You'll begin your tour at a statue commemorating Louisville's famous founder. But is he really deserving of his unblemished reputation? And who else might have a tale to tell about Louisville's role in our country's early days and westward expansion?

Cathedral of the Assumption

This ominous steeple once bore witness to one of the bloodiest days in Louisville's history...

We met at the Belvedere with a small group of people. Our guide, Regina, gave us earpieces and the tour began. We spent a little time there then headed to other parts of the city. As we walked, she told us different stories regarding Louisville's history, slavery, and the bourbon trade. As a local, I found it very interesting. We stopped for a little break at O'Sheas. Regina picked up our drinks at the bar (some.had pre-ordered cocktails, we had water). She continued to tell us about some speakeasy's, a murder in a local hotel. We finished up our drinks and continued on walking around the city, with Regina pointing out several murals, buildings and telling us some fun facts about the city. It was an easy walk. It was cold and rainy. I appreciate how organized, professional, knowledgeable and kind our tour guide was. I'd definitely recommend this tour!

Hannah was such a great sport during this rainy tour. She truly loves her job and that shows through with her enthusiasm and knowledge for what she’s teaching.
