Historisk Old Louisville Walking Tour

Parking was no problem in the lot by the building when I went. In fact I thought I was in the wrong place as there were no other cars. Apparently I was the only one signed up for my tour time slot that day. Molly was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. We discussed many of the details that made the homes unique. I was not expecting the wide variety of styles that the era apparently included. I enjoyed seeing the variations and the walk. You do need to be careful as the sidewalk was muddy or uneven in spots. Though Molly usually warned me about those locations. She shared the vocabulary associated with the styles and architectural details. She often knew interesting details related to specific homes. I’m glad I chose to do this tour.

Mollie was our tour guide. She was great - very informative and kept the tour moving while presenting a lot of information about the historic neighborhood and amazing architecture. It was a beautiful neighborhood - with homes from the 1800s and 1900s. It was a nice way to see a portion of the history in Louisville , KY

Meeting at Central Park in Louisville was an excellent start to a great Historic Walking Tour. The park featured a farmer's market. We met at the historic visitor's center where our guide, Molly, warmly greeted us as she presented us bottles of water and hand fans for our excursion. She was an amazing guide offering comprehensive detail on each of the many historic mansions we passed on our walking tour. The stories of the families as well as design elements of the homes architecture shed light on the Gilded Era and those who developed this original neighborhood adjacent to Central Park. Thank you, Molly, it was a great experience!

Gorgeous homes with an excellent tour guide. So worthwhile. We learned about the unique architecture, history and culture of this beautiful area. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and clearly loved her job. Highly recommend!

Excellent informative tour of a beautiful, beautiful neighborhood that we would’ve probably never found by ourselves. Mollie was an excellent Tour Guide. Highly recommend you do this Tour.

This was awesome! Our family of 5 went on it, including our young children. Our guide was so friendly & knowledgeable! She even pointed out little details the kids would appreciate. My husband and I both felt like we learned so much about historical architecture through this. A great experience!

We are still talking about our tour with Molly! If you love history and want to know more about old Louisville, you will love this! Molly is SO AMAZING as a tour guide, I assumed she was a college professor!! Her knowledge of the neighborhood and architecture will blow you away! Temps were unusually high while we were there and she totally took care of us with water and checking on how we were feeling during the tour. This tour also benefits the historic neighborhood!

Walking but not too stressful. Very nice architecture and informative history. Guide was very professional and knowledgeable.
