Was a great experience. Learned a lot about Baton Rouge. Looking forward to visiting the sites that were on the tour. I went on a Monday and most sites were closed. I did go to the observation deck in the state house. The view was incredible.

The walking tour in Baton Rouge downtown was very interesting and informative! I would also recommend stopping at the Baton Rouge Visitor's Center which I believe was next to the Kress Building. Greg recommended going to the top of the capitol to the observation deck, and be sure to do that too! We ate at Lloyd's, which was on the tour, and would highly recommend that too.
Great information, easy directions

We enjoyed this walking tour greatly. I appreciated that the directions were not "turn north" type instructions. Simply face the building and turn left, was so much easier than other citiy tours we have done. Cute informative stories that even locals would enjoy. The only improvement would be hints for parking. The 2 hour city street limit was not sufficient. Can I add time at any parking kiosk, or do I have to move the car?
Fun informative tour

What an amazing tour! Greg does an amazing job of delivering the history in a fun and uplifting way. And directions?? I was amazed at how accurate he was! No chance of getting lost! My favorite? “Head to the corner of North- I’ll meet you there!” Lol!

Wonderful tour. I loved that I was able to pause the tour and have lunch at Poor Boy Lloyd's (a stop on the tour) and then restart the tour. The tour was interesting and informative. I highly recommend this tour.

Once I figured how the app worked (my fault for not watching the quick tutorial) my hubby and I really enjoyed this tour. There was the perfect amount of information on Baton Rouge. Also, Greg was great at helping me figure out the app.
Not the Best City Tour

Although the narrator was clear and expressive, with often good information, we felt that the app was difficult to follow-especially at the beginning. There were two of us which made it more difficult- you almost need to do the tour separately because you don’t know where the other person is in the narrative. Also, the tour did not loop around and bring us back to the beginning. It ended abruptly and we had to walk about 12 blocks back to our car. It was exhausting. I think this tour could be reworked to make it a lot more user-friendly and loop it around so that you end up closer to where you started.
