Escape the crowds in Old Louisville and experience a side of the city most visitors miss. Just five minutes from downtown and NuLu, the Highlands area is a local’s favorite, home to Louisville’s iconic Victorian architecture, the inventor of the Disco ball, and vibrant “Restaurant Row”. Brimming with with tree-lined avenues, opulent Victorian mansions, and quirky charm, this hidden gem is over 50 years older than Old Louisville — and far more delicious!
In the Original Highlands and Cherokee Park neighborhoods, you'll stroll tree-lined streets lined with colorful murals, blooming flowers, and grand historic homes; hear fascinating stories of immigrants, icons, and innovators; p ass the final resting places of Muhammed Ali and Colonel Sanders at Cave Hill Cemeter; and taste signature Louisville flavors at beloved local eateries you’d never find on your own.
This small-group experience includes everything you came to Louisville for: bites, bourbon, history, and charm!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your guide on the sidewalk in front of the Irish pub at 956 Baxter Avenue. We recommend parking on a side street such as Morton or Highland, and NOT on busy Baxter Ave. (Note: There are two pubs with the same name in Louisville - ensure you are going to the one on Baxter, not Main!)
