Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky, a city where tradition and innovation meet along the banks of the Ohio River. Louisville is best known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, but there’s much more to explore—world-class bourbon distilleries, historic neighborhoods, cutting-edge art, and the legacy of a man the world will always know as The Greatest, Muhammad Ali. On this tour, you’ll drive past the landmarks that tell Louisville’s story. You’ll see the Louisville Slugger Museum, where bats for baseball legends are made, and distilleries like Michter’s and Angel’s Envy, proving why bourbon is more than a drink here—it’s a heritage. You’ll pass cultural treasures like the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts and the Speed Art Museum, as well as Old Louisville, one of the largest Victorian neighborhoods in the country. We’ll guide you to Churchill Downs, where the thunder of hooves has electrified race fans for nearly 150 years, and to the Muhammad Ali Center, which celebrates the life and values of Louisville’s most famous son. Along the way, you’ll also get a taste of the city’s vibrant spirit—from the energy of Fourth Street Live! to the timeless charm of the Belle of Louisville, the oldest operating steamboat in the world. Our journey will finish at the Big Four Pedestrian Bridge, overlooking the Ohio River. Once an abandoned railroad crossing, it’s now a glowing symbol of connection, linking Kentucky and Indiana while offering some of the best views in town. So as you follow along, enjoy the drive, keep an eye out for these landmarks, and get ready to discover the sights, sounds, and stories that make Louisville one of America’s most distinctive and dynamic cities.
