OUR TEAM BUILDING CLIENTS

Planning a group event means juggling a dozen moving parts.

Venue, catering, transportation, activities, team gifts … each one is another vendor, another contract, another invoice, and another thing that can go wrong.

And after all that work, you still need an event people actually enjoy, not another one that feels like a chore. Finding an activity that fosters genuine team bonding and keeps everyone entertained can be daunting!

But not for us. In fact, it’s kinda where we thrive.

Your team doesn’t want to:

  • Sit at one long table talking to the same 5 people all night.
  • Load onto a stuffy charter bus for the same hotel ballroom buffet as last year.
  • Sit through another “fun” event that feels like a mandatory meeting.

Dine Together. Ride Together. Discover Louisville.

Delight your team with a unique Louisville dining experience. Louisville Food Tours takes care of all the details—transportation, reservations, dietary needs, and entertainment—so you can relax and actually enjoy the event (and be the office hero). One team, one price, zero stress.

Fully Hosted

An expert local host runs the show, from reserved space at every stop to keeping your timeline on track.

Eat & Drink Like a Local

Curated bites and bourbon from Louisville’s best restaurants, at multiple stops or one stunning venue.

Ride Together

Vintage, climate-controlled trolleys pick up and drop off your group together, so nobody has to drive or rideshare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take a look at the questions we’re typically asked about our team building experiences and curated events. Please get in touch if your question isn’t covered!

The amount of food for your group will be tailored to your needs. Looking for a filling lunch or dinner? We’ll take you to 4-6 restaurants with enough tastings to keep everyone full and satisfied. Prefer a sightseeing tour with light bites in between meals? We can do that, too. How about a catered event with food tastings and sample stations? Let us handle it!

That depends on your budget, but we do offer all-inclusive packages that include both food and drinks. We also include delicious and creative mocktails, so nobody ever feels left out.

Yes! Non-drinking guests will enjoy delicious and creative alcohol-free mocktails and drinks.

Yes! Through our exclusive partnership with Old Fashioned Express, we can provide vintage trolleys for pickup, drop-off, and shuttles between hotels, venues, and events. Transportation is included in our Showstopper packages and can be added to any experience, or you can charter a trolley by the hour on its own. We have both climate-controlled and ADA-accessible vehicle options. Just let us know if you’re interested in booking a transportation package when you reach out!

We can run private tours any day of the week, but locations will vary depending on our restaurant partner’s hours and availability.

Please get in touch with your schedule needs and what you’re looking for and we’ll handle the rest!

Yes! We work closely with several fantastic event spaces. We can book a meeting space for your group, provide transportation, and even arrange for a tour to begin or end there.

For larger groups, we can design fully catered events at Louisville’s best venues. We’ll handle the entire menu and run trolley shuttles so your guests arrive together.

We host groups of every size, from 10 to 500+.

Walking food tours are best for groups up to 25. Larger groups will be split into smaller cohorts.

For big groups, our Showstopper culinary events bring everyone together at one venue or multiple restaurant stops, and our trolley shuttles can move hundreds of guests per hour between hotels and venues Downtown and nearby.

Yes, we can accommodate most food allergies and dietary restrictions with advanced notice. We will provide a survey for all guests to fill out to ensure we have allergies accommodated, and we’ll make all necessary arrangements ahead of time.

However, we cannot safely accommodate celiac guests on our walking food tours and we request that they bring along their own food or eat before/after the experience. Sadly, none of our restaurant partners are able to guarantee no cross-contamination.

Our tours run rain, snow or shine, but we do cancel for severe weather such as lightning, tornado warnings, strong winds or hail – anything that would endanger a pedestrian walking outdoors. (Worried about the weather? Ask about adding trolley transportation to your tour. Our climate-controlled trolleys keep your group dry between stops.)

That said, please don’t panic if you’re seeing inclement weather in the forecast a few days out! Weather in the finicky Ohio River Valley can be difficult to predict, so we wait until about an hour before a tour is set to begin to examine radar and make a call that will ensure everyone’s safety.

Due to our position in the Ohio River Valley, storms that are heading our way often skip over us entirely, are complete non-events, or pass through quickly. We have only ever had to cancel an entire tour for severe weather twice.

When storms are forecasted during our tours, our team tracks radar closely throughout the tour. If a storm is passing through, we simply stay inside eating and drinking until the weather clears (usually this takes about 15 minutes) and then direct our guides to continue the tour once radar determines it is safe to do so. Your guests may just enjoy an extra cocktail on us and end your tour a little later than expected!

We will do the best we can to work around your scheduling needs. Some scheduling requests are more of a challenge than others due to the hours of our restaurant partners, or the size of your group. But don’t worry – we’ll handle all the logistics. Just let us know your scheduling restrictions in the form below or during our discovery call!

For corporate groups, we offer customized versions of our tours that are tailored to be the perfect team-building experience. They are not the same as our public tours, and not all of our public tours are available as private corporate experiences! (For instance, if you want to book our haunted Whispers on Whiskey Row tour, you’ll need to book a public tour – we do not offer that one for private team outings.)

If one of our tours appeals to you, let us know and we’ll work that into your proposal!

We sure do! We work with carefully vetted partners throughout the city and have options along all of our routes. Some of our options include bourbon tasting, distillery tours, private chefs, hands-on cocktail making classes, Derby Hat making, candle pouring, leather-working, spice blending, and cooking demos. We also offer team games like company trivia, scavenger hunts, and murder mysteries. Just let us know what you’re interested in, and we’ll work it into your proposal.

All of our team building packages include a small take-home gift, and we have several upgraded gift options to choose from. You can purchase a “Taste of Louisville” box or gift bag whether or not you book an experience with us!

We partner with local artisans and specialty food creators to curate a selection of gifts. Some of our options include Taste of Louisville gift boxes featuring delicious local foods, hand-engraved bourbon gift sets, Louisville tote bags and t-shirts, and more. If you’re interested in a gift package, please let us know!

Each trolley seats 21–30 guests, and our fleet seats over 100 at once. For larger events, we run continuous shuttle loops that move hundreds of guests per hour.

Our trolleys are the perfect fit for Downtown Louisville and nearby venues, neighborhoods, and hotels. The journey is part of the experience on our trolleys. They’re not ideal for traveling on highways or fast travel – they prefer to take the scenic route, and are best when enjoyed with great company, gorgeous views, a drink, and the perfect playlist.

An 18% service fee is added to all packages. It covers taxes, fees, and gratuity for your guides, drivers, and restaurant staff, so there are no surprise tips or add-ons on the day of your event.

Lia and Jeremy Garcia on Big Four Bridge

We have a profound love for Louisville.

We’re Lia and Jeremy, the co-founders of Louisville Food Tours. We’re passionate about sharing the flavors and stories of Louisville, truly our favorite place in the world.

We started Louisville Food Tours and its sister company, Old Fashioned Express, because we believe the best way to get to know a city is through its food and history. After traveling the world, we realized Louisville – Lia’s hometown – was a truly special place. We settled down here with our family and the goal to tell Louisville’s story while making a positive impact on our beloved city.

There’s something special about Louisville’s world-class food, bourbon, and unique big-city/small-town vibe that we just love.

Thanks for considering us for your next adventure. We can’t wait to show you around and share our passion for Louisville with you.

Sincerely,

lia & jeremy signature
