Louisville Ghost tour - Bring good walking shoes and if you are going during the cooler months dress warm. We got to go inside the Seelbach and Brown hotels which was really cool. They are so beautiful. You get to see some really beautiful places and it is a chance to see a part of Louisville that you might not have considered seeing. Downtown Louisville really had a lot to offer. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. This was a great tour. Highly recommend it.

Fun and interesting! - A very knowledgeable tour guide who, you could tell it she’s interested in the history she was telling, so it made the stories so much more compelling.

Enjoyable Ghost/History Walk - Hannah was very receptive to new ideas and input. She appeared to want to work with the group's interests i.e. historical, ghostly, architectural, etc. Used the full time alloted for the tour. Had some sit down spots along the way. Guide was very enthusiastic and her voice carried well. Tour content not meant to scare, and would be suitable for youngsters.

Nice night for a walk - More of an evening walking tour of Louisville. Not too spooky and really not a ghost tour. More of an hour of learning about old buildings in Louisville with anecdotes about ghosts.

Disappointed - Hard to hear the guide. She didnt talk as we walked around. I would have appreciated some history or local color. She had to look up information while we stood there. Anticlimatic
