Overview

March through November, daily; limited dates in the off-season!

Our tours include more than St. James Court. We see twice as much as other area walking tours, visiting Ormsby Avenue, Park Avenue cottages, Floral Terrace, the Witches' Tree, and Millionaires Row. Bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled here in the 1800s. Today, impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville.

Author David Dominé often guides groups himself. The New York Times recommends his tours as a MUST during a visitor's “36 Hours in Louisville.” Learn more in A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, David's next book—out in October 2021!

Narrated walks depart from the transitional edge of the area. If you love old houses, this is the tour for you! If you do not like an up-and-coming area with a diverse racial make up, please stay home. If you can't go 90 minutes without a bathroom, this is not for you!
