Great tour you can do at your own pace!! - Me and my husband did this walking tour while in Baton Rouge and were very impressed by it. It showed us all the historic sites and treasures of the city while doing this at our pace. We weren’t able to finish the tour in one night but were able to pick it back up from where we left off the next day! We had a great time exploring while on this tour!! It’s affordable and I would highly recommend to anyone. I would suggest bringing headphones or EarPods and a portable battery charging.

Good audio guide, disappointing visit. - The guided tour was good. The problem is the city. Baton Rouge has an exotic name, but no tourist interest. Fortunately the audio guide took us to the two establishments worthy of a visit: the old and new parliament. It is a city of civil servants and businessmen. Argument: no souvenir shops…

Downtown Ghost town, and not the good kind. - This place was a ghost town at 2:00 on a Saturday. Yes, it was hot, but nothing was open. The grounds are beautiful. Of course, amazing oaks. Great picture opportunities.
