5.00Cathy was an amazing tour guide! She began the tour by having everyone introduce ourselves and it made for a great way to start off a tour where you’ll be sharing a few meals with essentially strangers. As someone who has only visited Louisville once, after the tour, I have a greater appreciation for the city’s history. Cathy paid attention to our questions, no matter how detailed or how nuanced. She was also able to rely on her deep knowledge of the area to help explain how people from Louisville connected to other areas of Kentucky and the Us more broadly. I would absolutely use this tour service again, and request Cathy specifically if able. She was kind to all of the tour goers and even kind to passerby on the street unaffiliated with the group. She ended the tour encouraging us to be “nice to each other” and I thought it was a beautiful ending to a wonderful tour. Definitely worth the price.
An Icy Adventure Worth Taking

5.00January is not the friendliest month for an outdoor walking tour and January 2026 was certainly no exception. In fact, it was the worse spell of cold weather in my memory, colder and snowier than my hometown of Brooklyn, NY. Our intrepid group of four met up with Cathy, our tour guide, at chilly Arena Plaza for what turned out to be a most pleasant afternoon with superb food, delicious drink and more importantly a great tour guide. Cathy brought us back to those days of yore in when advancing continental ice sheets were creating the Ohio River system. It didn't take much imagination to conjure up that scenario as we looked around us. Perhaps even a wolly mammoth once ambled down a snowy trail that we now call Main Street. Cathy also shared stories of the many characters who preceded us in time, both good and bad, who once inhabited the street we were walking on. Some of their former haunts even provided us with food, drink and shelter as we made our way up and down Main Street. In short, I highly recommend this tour whether the weather be fowl or fair.
Hungry for our next tour!

5.00We had a fabulous time with Christina! I knew it would be great when she and the hosts knew each other by name at our restaurants. The food was plentiful and delicious. The stories connecting our stops to Louisville's history were captivating and entertaining. Christina connected those stories to other areas of town which makes us want to do each of Louisville Food Tours itineraries!
Hannah was full of great...

5.00Cathy met us at the KFC Yum! Center on a cold and rainy weekday. She was charming, well organized, full of information and on this day a sense of adventure. We went to 3 restaurants and a Candy Shop on Main Street. Everything had a bourbon component to it. It really was a lot of food and also a lot of alcohol. We upgraded to the premium bourbon. We didn’t realize that we each received a cocktail at every stop plus the 4 bourbons. First stop (and I’m sure these are subject to change) was O'SHEA'S Irish Pub where we were served an amazing Pretzel Bread with Beer Cheese with a beer (and a bourbon). We also got to hear the origin of the pub and the cheese by a very good story teller, Cathy. Here is where our running German joke started, you had to be there, Cathy has a great sense of humor. Next we went to the very cool downstairs bar at the Grady Hotel. We had an amazing Chicken Sandwich Slider with Bourbon Honey sauce, along with our Honey Julep. Another fascinating story was told here too. The Candy Bourbon store was a special treat. A lot of care goes into making this candy and carrying on the amazing legacy. After a quick photo opp in front of Louisville Slugger we were off to our main course, I told you it was a lot of food. At the Bristol Bar a Grill we were served an Old Fashioned, a Hot Brown and topped off with delicious Derby Pie! It was a great trip, thanks to a good guide, on a lousy weather day.
Great Food, Knowledgeable Guides

5.00We brought in a small (17) tour group for the food tour. We had to split into two groups which was no problem and due to road closures and not knowing our way around our first group was a bit late. The guide, Allison, accommodated us and they were on their way. Our second group met on time with Hannah. Both guides were very knowledgeable about the city and shared many facts. The food we were able to enjoy was very good. I would recommend this tour in Louisville.
Hannah is great!

5.00Allison was a great tour guide. She is high energy and full of historical knowledge. We never would have found these cool places to eat with their savory and sweet foods without a tour guide. Worth every penny! We will come back and do some of their other tours. She gave us great suggestions for things to do in the city.
Tasty Food, lots of History

5.00Took a Louisville Legends: Downtown Derby City Food & History Tour with a bachelorette group. It was a really fun, easy experience. We got to try lots of tasty food and learn a lot about the history of Louisville. Our tour guide Cathy was amazing. Would definitely recommend when visiting.
