We had an amazing time on the Phantoms and Prohibition tour with Louisville Food Tours on 9/10/25, and Christina was the perfect guide! She was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating stories that brought the city’s rich (and ghostly) history to life. She took us to some truly unique spots we never would have discovered on our own — each one offering delicious bites and wonderfully different vibes. It is a gift to be a successful storyteller, and Christina delivers great stories, knowledge and history with engaging enthusiasm. We did the tour our first day in the city, and it was such an engaging start to a long weekend and perfect introduction to Louisville. Her storytelling, knowledge, and energy made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend when you visit Louisville!
