Cheryl

Greta was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the Victorian houses, food, bourbon, the city and more. She also was really open to hear from locals on the tour who had some other bit of knowledge...she loves to learn and then share that info on other tours. The food and drinks were really good and always fun to meet new people. All the logistics were well communicated by the tour company.
Stephanie

If you haven't experienced a Louisville food tour then you need add it to your bucket list. It is the perfect addition to any weekend itinerary as it gives a wonderful history and several local bites. Our tour guide Christina was fabulous, offering so many fun insights and is a wealth of knowledge. We took our 8 year old daughter who had the best time! She ate everything!
Kayla

The phantoms of prohibition tour was a great way to see, eat and drink our way through Louisville! I was (pleasantly) surprised that half of the drinks were not bourbon based, which I thought was a nice change of pace from all the bourbon tours planned for the weekend. Allison was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide!
Wendy

We had an amazing time on the Phantoms and Prohibition tour with Louisville Food Tours on 9/10/25, and Christina was the perfect guide! She was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating stories that brought the city’s rich (and ghostly) history to life. She took us to some truly unique spots we never would have discovered on our own — each one offering delicious bites and wonderfully different vibes. It is a gift to be a successful storyteller, and Christina delivers great stories, knowledge and history with engaging enthusiasm. We did the tour our first day in the city, and it was such an engaging start to a long weekend and perfect introduction to Louisville. Her storytelling, knowledge, and energy made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend when you visit Louisville!
Adam

We did the Pride Plate tour and it was so relaxed and informative and fun! Hannah and her knowledge was perfect for a great tour of gay Louisville. I would do this again even if it had the same information as it was great paced and great fun !
