5.00Was 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.

5.00The 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

5.00We 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

5.00What 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!
