“Taste of the City Tour”

Reviewed 16 May 2012

Wonderful tour for showing the highpoints of the city and Leslie was great about pointing out fun restaurants and shops while also giving the history of the city. As others have said, U-shaped benches along the back and sides take a little getting used to. There were about 8 on our Sat morning tour so we had the space to... More

You are welcome! I think I enjoy the tours as much as the guests! Yes, I love Old Louisville as well... and all those incredible Victorian Mansions. I will try to incorporate more time in that area. Thanks for the input! :) Leslie More

“Leslie is a great tour guide.”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

This was a great overview of the City of Louisville. I would suggest that you take the tour at the start of your stay so you can visit the places/restaurants that Leslie points out. This was our third trip to Louisville and I saw places that I didn't know about before. I would suggest a light meal before the tour.... More

Hello! Thanks for your review! I'm so glad you had a great time on the bus. I appreciate the heads up on wanting a confirmation process. Even though I am not a big enough company... or have a big enough budget... to allow for an assistant yet, I could definitely take the time to call and confirm folks the night... More

“Good for City Sight Seeing, Light on the Tasting”

My wife and I recently took the City Taste Tour in Louisville. The tour is run by Leslie who uses a van that seats about 12 people. We had 11 on our tour. You are in the bus for about 3.5 hours. The seating is arranged in a U shape, as seen on one of the pictures on her website.... More

Hello Big John. Thanks for the feedback on the tour. I'm so glad that you liked the city tour part of the tour. I am sorry that you felt the tastes were too small. You are correct though, the tour that you were on, "Everything You Should See Know and Taste While You're in Louisville Tour" is actually a city... More

“Sundays - Not a food tour”

Reviewed 19 April 2012

person found this review helpful

If you're looking to see some of the city sites then this tour may be what you need. It's a great city tour. However, this definitely is NOT a food tour. I've been on several food tours through out the US who also incorporate history and lots of food stops. To me, this was not worth fifty five dollars. When... More

We had already been in L'ville for more than a day when we joined Leslie's taste tour. We learned more about the history and culture of the area in her 3.5 hour tour than we had in our entire time in the city! She was an excellent tour guide with knowledge of the large and small bits of history and... More

“A tasty introduction to an interesting town”

Reviewed 4 April 2012

There were five of us on our half-day tour, and Leslie herself was our driver and guide. As her mini-bus cruised through Greater Louisville, she regaled us with local history, pointed out sights, and included stories about the city's most interesting citizens, past and present. We stopped frequently to sample a local food specialty, and when she discovered that two... More

“Great taste of Louisville!”

Reviewed 22 March 2012

I went on this tour with a group of associates and it was fabulous. The tour guide was knowledgable and passionate about Louisville and shared the history, lore and customs of Derby Town. We stopped at interesting places and got a real feel for the city and its unique traditions. From a historic candy shop to a seafood hut to... More
