Baton Rouge, LA - 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!

Interesting and Informative Tour - 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.

Baton Rouge 👍🏼 - 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.

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.

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.

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…

Non functional! - the app would not begin when prompted once we arrived and keyed in password. I would recommend not wasting your time with this particular site.
