👍👍 Really enjoyed the tour. Wonderful, spooky stories. We had Angelique who was wonderful! I have to admit, at first I was concerned I wouldn't be able to hear her well on the tour and miss information because she has a very soft spoken voice! But she did a great job of speaking loudly and facing us wh... People often mention tour, guide, stories, Louisville, ghost, great, history, recommend, night, David,

    Really enjoyed the tour. Wonderful, spooky stories. We had Angelique who was wonderful! I have to admit, at first I was concerned I wouldn't be able to hear her well on the tour and miss information because she has a very soft spoken voice! But she did a great job of speaking loudly and facing us while talking, and I had no problem catching all of the great stories. I ended up leaving the tour totally intrigued and went and purchased all of David's books between kindle and audible to hear more about these great stories. 😊

    Loved this tour. David has so much knowledge of the history of Old Louisville. The witches Tree was my favorite story.

    What a great experience! And nice to walk around outside and actually know what you're looking at. I met Deborah (I think was her name) and she took me and one other person on an exuberant tour around the Old Louisville neighborhood. She was crazy knowledgeable - she's worked privately and for the city and has been responsible for several restorations of these homes herself. Just walking down each street she'll point out how styles and fortuned quickly changed in this neighborhood and what folks now are doing to keep them alive. I had thought the price was steep but I can't recommend it enough! Loads of fun.

    Knowledgable guides with personal connections to the nieghbourhood. Great communication and help with texts. Fascinating history and no 2 houses are the same. A must see and ghost tours of the 'hood at night too from folks who experienced them!

    Cali was a great guide! On a wet and chilly night, it was only our group of three and he worked hard to make our tour memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed the history and hauntings of old Louisville. I will recommend this tour to friends and they would be lucky to have Cali as their guide. Thanks again for the fun walk through history. 10 out of 10

    Davids tours are fantastic! I went this weekend with my kids for the Old Louisville walking tour. They had a blast seeing the park, fountain, and beautiful old houses. I have a young child, with a stroller, it was easy to navigate. Everyone had a great time. Thank you, David!

    An absolutely excellent ghost tour! It was an excellent mix of spooky stories and history. We had blast on our tour!!! I would highly recommend it to everyone. (And don't let their disclaimer or reviews about the neighborhood stop you - we never felt unsafe.) Thanks for the great tour!

    Excellent ghost tour of old Louisville. Amazing architecture. Tour guide did an excellent job telling us the stories of various tragic events that occurred. I had no idea the city had such a rich history. Highly recommend.

    We went on this tour in November 2022 while in Louisville for the Grant Professionals Association Annual Conference and I am still blown away by the tour and our guide! It was the best ghost tour I have been on hands-down! Our tour guide was David and he was just incredible - such an excellent story teller and excellent guide! We visited the Witches Tree - I did leave a gift for the witches and I have to share that both my requests/wishes came true! I truly cannot recommend this all enough. It is an experience I will treasure. I truly hope to return soon!

    We were recently staying in Louisville over night for my daughter's 16th birthday. We live over 2 hours away. I had purchased tickets beforehand on Groupon since our youngest 2 teens had never been on a walking ghost tour. Angelique was our tour guide and she messaged me before. We arrived and there were 11 in our group altogether walking, with my family of 4. While it was extremely cold that night, the stories made it worth it. I love anything historical and the old architecture!!! The houses were beautiful!! I will say there is lots of walking and sidewalks are uneven, but what can you expect? Angelique gifted my daughter an autographed book, which was very kind of her and our 2 teens loved the Coraline story, since our 16 y.o. is a fan. All in all, seeing the houses, learning about history and just the experience, it's worth it!!!

    Fascinating stories. Perfect cold, but still night for ghost talk. Jamie was very professional, looked after her group, and was a great storyteller.

    We jumped on the ghost tour last night with Quinton. She did a wonderful job. She was knowledgeable about Louisville and the haunts. Her delivery was a good mix of comedy and spooky.

  • 5/5 Daniel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tour with some spooky stories and beautiful houses. The stories have a good amount of spookiness, but even if you are not into horror movies you should enjoy them!

  • 5/5 Diego S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the second time I have been on the tour and it is fantastic! A great activity for locals and people visiting the city. It’s the perfect way to learn a lot about the city of Louisville and its history. Our tour guide Angelique was incredibly knowledgeable and a great story teller. Excited to hopefully go on their ghost tour as well one day!

    Absolutely loved his Old Louisville ghost tour last night. Our tour guide David is a historian of souls, bringing phantoms' tales to life and leaving guests with spine tingles and a spirit of wonder and respect for the past. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Tracy R. 1 year ago on Google
    We just toured the area using the map provided in the Visitors center (attached to the court building). The day was beautiful and we learned a lot about the area. The architecture was absolutely stunning

  • 5/5 Jamie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend this!! We had the privilege of David being our tour guide. This tour isn’t just for people who find the paranormal interesting, you don’t even need to believe in it to enjoy this. Just learning some of the history of Old Louisville was so interesting. We were able to get up close and personal with many of those old beautiful mansion. Honestly it was just awesome. Definitely look into doing this!!

  • 5/5 markus 2 years ago on Google
    David was GREAT! I can honestly say this guy was one of the BEST tour guides my wife and I ever had. His knowledge of the the houses, buildings, and architecture is amazing and the tour even went over the 90 minutes. He knows Old Louisville like the back of his hand and we definitely recommend him and his tour! Thank you David.

    The tour was better than expected! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and had an engaging way of telling the stories.

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 2 years ago on Google
    It was a very fun and informative experience! Not only do you hear the ghost stories but you get the history of each place as well and how some are connected. It's pretty cool! Loved the guide as well she really knew her stuff.

    Angelique was our guide on our Ghost tour last week and she did an amazing job of telling us the ghost stories and capturing our attention, during our night out.
