As seen in the HBO ORIGINAL Murder in Glitterball City!
Step back in time and uncover the haunted history of one of America's largest and most beautiful Victorian neighborhoods on this private walking tour of Old Louisville.
Available seven days a week from morning to evening, this private tour is ideal for family reunions, corporate outings, student groups, conventions, and special events. With pricing starting at just $15 per person for groups of 20, it's also one of Louisville's best values for private group experiences.
Home to hundreds of grand mansions built by Louisville's wealthiest families in the 1800s, Old Louisville provides the perfect backdrop for history, architecture, and mystery.
Led by an expert local guide, this private tour includes the same spine-tingling stories featured on our award-winning evening ghost tours while visiting landmarks such as the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum, the legendary Witches' Tree, Central Park, and Millionaires Row.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We do not meet in a building, but rather outside on the southeast corner of South 4th Street and West Ormsby Avenue, near the brown "FILSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY" sign by the bus stop. Across the street, you should see the CENTRAL PARK LOFTS, a two-story, redbrick building from the 1950s.
