This three-hour walking tour explores Louisville’s Original Highlands and Cherokee Triangle neighborhoods, known for their Victorian-era homes that are over 50 years older than Old Louisville. Participants walk along tree-lined streets and see colorful murals and grand historic residences while hearing stories about local immigrants, notable figures, and innovators. The tour includes five stops at locally owned restaurants along Restaurant Row. Guests taste four dishes that highlight Louisville’s culinary traditions, including a Hot Brown-inspired dish served at Muhammad Ali’s former boxing gym. There is a bourbon tasting at the city’s oldest bar, as well as craft beer and cocktails. The tour concludes with dessert and a cocktail at a farm-to-table restaurant featuring Kentucky’s southern sweet sauce. An expert local guide leads the group and shares detailed history and anecdotes about Louisville’s most historic neighborhoods. The tour excludes gratuities and transportation. This small-group tour offers food, drinks, local history, and architecture without the crowds found on larger walking tours.
