Historic Walking Tour of Victorian Louisville with Food & Bourbon
VirginiaPetersen
Discover Louisville’s Victorian Charm — With Local Food, Drinks & No Crowds! 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 is a local’s favorite, home to Louisville’s iconic Victorian architecture and “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! You’ll stroll tree-lined streets lined with colorful murals and grand historic homes, hear fascinating stories of immigrants, icons, and innovators, and enjoy generous tastings of signature Louisville flavors at beloved local eateries you’d never find on your own. Unlike Old Louisville’s large group walking tours (no food, no drinks, no fun), this small-group experience includes everything you came to Louisville for: bites, bourbon, history, charm, and no hassle!
Departure Point
- 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!)
