SUMMARY:The Haunted Trolley Tour: 2-Hour Ghost Tour in Old Louisville\, The Highlands & Downtown | promo code!
DESCRIPTION:Venture under the cover of darkness aboard one of our vintage trolleys to find the side of Bourbon City that many are too afraid to look for. As the sun sets over Old Louisville’s gaslit streets\, our expert storyteller will guide you through two centuries of restless spirits\, haunted landmarks\, and paranormal legends that have made Louisville one of the most paranormally active cities in America. One part ghost story\, one part true crime — every tale grim\, and every tale true. \nBook your tour here!\nUse code “thingstolou10” to save 10%!\n\nThis 2-hour narrated ride begins in the Victorian heart of Old Louisville — long whispered to be America’s most haunted neighborhood — before winding through the Highlands and into the heart of Downtown\, with a stop along the way for a drink at one of the city’s own haunted haunts. \nUnder all of her grandeur\, Derby City hides her darkest secrets in plain sight. Hop on\, if you dare. \nWhat’s included\nTransportation aboard a historic trolley \nNarration from an expert local Ghost Host and tour guide \nSpine-tingling tales of haunted Louisville landmarks and neighborhoods \nWhat’s not included\nAdmission to attractions or museums along the route \nGratuity for your driver & tour guide \nHotel pickup and drop-off \nGhost hunting (but if you meet one\, please let us know) \nItinerary\nOn your 2-hour haunted journey\, you’ll ride between neighborhoods aboard your haunted trolley\, hopping off with your guide to walk the very streets\, sidewalks\, and shadowed corners where these stories took place. \nStart in Old Louisville\, America’s most haunted neighborhood: Begin on an eerily quiet court in America’s largest Victorian neighborhood\, where you’ll hear tales of mansions hiding dark secrets\, quiet inns where phantom residents are said to still linger behind lace curtains\, and a butcher who met the gallows swearing his innocence. \nHop on the Haunted Trolley: Take a ride through Louisville’s historic streets aboard a lantern-lit trolley and hear the horrifying tale of the deadliest train wreck in Kentucky history\, whose passengers some say never departed. Let’s hope they’re not still on board with us…. \nThe Historic Highlands: Head back in time to a Victorian neighborhood a half-century older than Old Louisville\, to a graveyard where the dead were buried atop the dead\, names lost to time and bodies stolen and mutilated. \nStop for Spirits: Pause for a drink at one of Louisville’s own haunted haunts before continuing deeper into the city’s darkest history. \nMake Your Way Downtown: Wind through the city’s haunted heart. Here you’ll find a luxurious hotel where a bride in blue never checked out and traverse streets that once ran with floodwater so deep that the bodies of the drowned floated right up against the cast-iron facades and windows above. Nearby\, the ashes of a deadly hotel fire still cling to the ground where it once stood. \n\nThis tour is made possible by an exclusive partnership between Louisville Food Tours and Old Fashioned Express\, Louisville’s locally-owned trolley company. \n\nCheck-in details\n\nPlease arrive 15 minutes early to check in with your trolley driver and haunted host. All guests must be onboard at the trolley departure time – we don’t want you to miss your ride! \n\n\nOverview\nDuration: 2 Hours\nMeeting point: 1402 Saint James Court Louisville\, KY US 40208\nCancellations: Refundable Tickets allow changes or refunds with at least 48 hours’ notice.
