Definitely recommend this tour! Go hungry and thirsty because you really fill up! The food was amazing! All local treats we probably would not have found on our own. I love that this tour included food and alcohol all for one price. The tour guide, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and great at answering questions and interacting with the group!

What an awesome tour! Started with beer and cheese, and then wandered through the neighborhoods learning the history of the development of Louisville, learning culture, eating more food, and drinking delicious cocktails! 10/10 would recommend

Loved this exploration of the interesting and fun neighborhood of NuLu; I was staying right on the border in Butchertown and the meet-up was simple. Learning the history of the city accompanied by some great eats was a wonderful way to start my first full day in Louisville. The food was amazing and served me as both lunch and dinner; I'm still dreaming of the pulled pork "cake" with sorghum. While I didn't drink any alcohol, there was water available and a local soda as well, but for those who wish to sample the more adult beverages there was a nicely balanced sampling. (Unlike another food tour I took in a music mecca *coughnashvillecough* there was nobody getting drunk.) The pacing was very good and I truly enjoyed the history from the guide, Jeremy. The perfect autumn weather made everything even better, but altogether I would have been happy to do this tour in any weather. Great way to see some of Louisville and taste more than you might otherwise!
