The Signature City Tour: 90-Minute Narrated Trolley Tour of Louisville
Hop aboard a vintage trolley for a 90-minute narrated tour that brings Louisville's history and landmarks to life.
Settle into a vintage trolley and discover Louisville through the eyes of a knowledgeable local guide. Over 90 minutes, you'll roll past more than 30 of the city's most important landmarks, taking in views through the trolley's large arched windows. The journey covers iconic spots like the Ohio River waterfront, Churchill Downs racetrack, the Victorian mansions of Old Louisville, and the vibrant galleries and restaurants of the NuLu arts district. You'll also pass significant cultural institutions like the Louisville Slugger Museum, Muhammad Ali Center, and University of Louisville's campus.
Your tour includes transportation, expert narration, and a midway restroom and snack break (often at Churchill Downs). Tickets are $15 for children and $35–$45 for adults, depending on whether you want a refundable option. Note that admission to museums and attractions along the route isn't included, nor are meals and drinks beyond the break. This is an easygoing way to get oriented to Louisville's history, architecture, and neighborhoods without the hassle of driving yourself around the city.
