We had the absolute best time! Quinton was our guide and he was fantastic!! He is a phenomenal story teller! Not only did he mix my favorite H's (horror, humor, and history) but he seemed more than glad, excited even, to answer our other random questions about the area. I highly recommend this tour!

We loved the tour and the architecture was amazing, too! We have wanted to do this tour for a a few years, and it did not disappoint! I am so sorry, I cannot remember our tour guide's name! It began with a G, but not Greta.. She was from Bellevue, KY. :)

Worth every penny and then some!! This tour exceeded my expectations! It was both chilling and informative at the same time. We covered an impressive amount of ground and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining ghost tour that will not only spook you, but teach you a thing or two about the history of Old Louisville.
