We were not able to make our tour because of ridiculously heavy and stopped traffic for miles on end coming from Atlanta.
Angelique had reached out early in the day to give us last minute information such as where to meet, parking options and dining options in the area.
Thanks to her reaching out I was able to get in touch with her to inform her we wouldn’t be able to get there and to not wait for us. She was very accommodating and understanding and was able to rebook us for a later date.
I can’t wait to do our tour. I’m sure it will be fabulous because of the graciousness of Angelique

This tour was awesome. For someone born in Louisville this neighborhood is known for its Art Fair but the beauty and charm of the area is not appreciated until you can walk through it slowly. David gives you an overview of the history, architecture and the ghost stories! I highly recommend taking one of David’s tours if you live in Louisville or are from out of town. This ranks up there with the Slugger Museum and Churchill Downs. It’s a “must see” in Louisville!

David was awesome and super welcoming! The tour was awesome, well worth the price and it was great to be outdoors learning about Old Louisville history. I was in town just for the night and so happy I chose to do the tour. Buy your tickets, you won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful evening walking the streets of Old Louisville with David. He told us some fantastic ghost stories we saw many beautiful homes that we would not have discovered on our own. The thunderstorms passing over added to the ambiance of the event!

We loved our evening ghost tour with David and Angelique! They shared the perfect mix of information and lore in a way that made us feel like we were being shown around a neighborhood by friendly new acquaintances. The houses are stunning to look at, but hearing their stories is all the better. We're so glad we had this opportunity!

We had such a great experience on our tour! David is so knowledgeable about the history and hauntings of Louisville, it even kept my youngest son’s attention (he’s 8) and not much does. LOL. I highly recommend this tour! We will probably do it again next time we come down to get some different stories. The houses in Downtown Louisville are literally magical and it was so cool to hear their history! Thanks for a great night!

I have been wanting to go on one of David’s tours ever since I read his first book. We took the whole family and could not have been more pleased! David knows all about the history and haunts of Old Louisville. Now I want to go on his architectural tour.

A ghostly historical tour through Old Louisville was eerily delightful!! The houses are beautiful and HUGE, the stories are enjoyable. No ghosts were spotted on the evening we went. There is lots of walking, but the area was gorgeous.
No restrooms, so take care if that need before you get there!!

Our family of 6 took this tour and loved it. More than just architecture, there was fun history, beautiful gardens, secret walkways, and a ghost story or 2. The 90 minutes just flew by! I would highly recommend this tour .

Lovely stroll through this historic district. Intriguing stories, was wowed by the volume of beautiful homes. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Have the book, looking forward to reading it. Only disappointment was the tour wasn’t with the author. In re-reading the ad it states it’s not always done by him. Just think he’d be a better story teller since he researched and wrote about it. I would recommend the tour either way. It would be awesome if one of the homeowners became part of the tour and let the tour come in.
