Old Louisville Ghost Tour as Recommended by The New York Times @ 4th and Ormsby Discount Tickets

Overview

As seen on HBO's MURDER IN GLITTERBALL CITY! Impressive Victorian mansions and quirky residents have earned national attention for Old Louisville, where bourbon barons, racetrack royalty, and titans of tobacco settled in the 1800s. This narrated walk comes from books by David Dominé, who often guides groups himself. Tales involve personal experiences and neighborhood legend, as well as the story at the heart A DARK ROOM IN GLITTER BALL CITY, the true-crime memoir that inspired the HBO series! Specializing in "America's Most Haunted Neighborhood," we depart from the corner of Fourth and Ormsby, at the transitional edge of the neighborhood. If you love beautiful architecture and spooky history, this is the tour for you! If you do not like a diverse, up-and-coming neighborhood, or can't go 2 hours without a bathroom, this is not for you! The New York Times recommends our tours as the first thing to do during a visitor's "36 Hours in Louisville." Locally owned and operated since 2004.

Meeting and Pickup

Redemption Instructions

Please be advised that all walking tours start and end at the transitional edge of an ethnically diverse neighborhood; you might encounter panhandling and homelessness, things found in many good-sized cities across the country. Meet your guide several minutes before the tour start time and wear comfortable walking shoes. Ghost tours leave from in front of the "Welcome to Old Louisville" sign at the southwest corner of South Fourth Street and West Ormsby Avenue. Plan on about 90 minutes for each tour. Please treat your tour tickets as you would concert or theater tickets. If you miss your tour, there are no refunds; if you arrive late, it is up to you to find your guide. We still conduct the tour even if there is only one person signed up.
