Stop At: 21c Museum Hotel, 700 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202-2634
Hotels are not often stops on tours, but wait until you walk into this one - a 24/7 museum that you can just happen to stay in with a Louisville origin that starts in the governors office and winds through to old money, this is a stop you don't want to miss.

Stop At: Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery, 801 W Main St, Louisville, KY 40202-2619
We don't dwell on bourbon on this tour, but it isn't Louisville without it so we'll take a family friendly pit-stop at this Main Street distillery.

Easy to use and the group members were able to follow the app on their own phones so we all could walk and comment on the places. It's short but helps understand how Louisville is conformed.

Probably would have been happier at a lower price point.thehuts0626

This was such a fun little adventure learning about the history of Louisville! The questions were a nice touch to make it feel almost like a scavenger hunt! The first set of directions had us turned around a bit but otherwise easy to follow with landmarks to help along the way! Highly recommend this for something quick, fun and inexpensive to explore the city!Janeen W

Lots of sights close together. App was fairly easy to use. Some of the directions weren't clear to me, as I wasn't sure about North and south. it was more helpful for me when directions were given toward the river or away from the river. Good information for the price.

I thought the tour was interesting but wish we had an audio component. I also didn’t like that we weren’t given the answers to the questions if we guessed wrong. That was frustrating.

This is a nice concept, and we were excited to learn more about Louisville and its history. I hate to give a bad review, but this was pretty bad. The questions were a nice touch, but everything had to be typed in so precisely that it was rare to get them correct. It's difficult to do when the answer could be typed many different ways and still be correct. We use apps, maps, and technology regularly without issue, so this should have been pretty simple to follow. It was funny at first, and we joked about our intelligence, but it quickly just became frustrating. The instructions were very confusing and had several errors which resulted in sending us in the wrong direction. We finally gave up after about 20 minutes.
