Great Tour and Guide - Great tour and great tour guide (Molly). The tour itself was very interesting and informative; but, also impressive that there was not a single question asked that the guide couldn’t answer (and there was a wide variety of them!). I’m not sure how this tour was different than the private company also doing tours but this was $10 cheaper and I was more than satisfied with the amount of homes we saw and information we received.

The 1.5 hours is too... - The 1.5 hours is too short for what they are trying to cover. It is a very good tour but you are being pushed from one stop to the next. Either back off the number of stops or extend the tour time.

Wonderful Tour of Old Louisville - So many beautiful houses! Molly, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable! I learned the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque. Tons of information about the architecture and all the prominent people who lived there. Like Thomas Edison.

Amazing houses and interesting history - Our guide Gabe was great and very knowledgeable. The houses we saw were very unique and beautiful as were the green spaces we were able to walk though. Very much worth the trip over to old town.

Be sure to ask for Jasmine if you can - Jasmine did out tour and we were so impressed with her knowledge and presentation. She even had historic photos to share along the way. She knew so much detail about the history of the homes and Louisville history. I could not recommend this tour enough. It was the best I have bee on.
