The Signature City Tour: 90-Minute Narrated Trolley Tour of Louisville

Climb aboard the Old Fashioned Express, our charming vintage trolley, and let a knowledgeable local guide bring Derby City to life with narration, fascinating history, and insider stories you won't find in any guidebook.

In just 90 minutes, you'll roll through more than 30 of Louisville's most iconic landmarks and neighborhoods, from the grandeur of Churchill Downs to the stunning Victorian streetscapes of Old Louisville.

Through the trolley's huge arched windows, you'll take in views of the sweeping Ohio River waterfront, explore the vibrant arts and food culture of NuLu, and pass through the heart of downtown with its museums, bourbon heritage, and historic architecture.

Hop on, Louisville's waiting!
