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?

We got rained out on Sunday but all the customer service was good. All the set up for a great tour was there

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.

The communication was outstanding. Pick up and return back to hotel was timely. Swamp tour was exciting… great way to start the day!

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.

Sorry to hear that! Did you have the WalknTours app? I do not have anybody named Gary that registered in the WalknTours app for Baton Rogue. Also I did refund your ticket.
Many people take this tour everyday and I've never heard this issue. I'm guessing you did not have the WalknTours app? Maybe you had a different app? I'm happy to refund you, just write me at info@walkntours.com. I'd love to hear your feedback. It's my mission to make the WalknTours app the best possible experience for travelers :). I'm sorry you ran into an issue. I am always here to help, email me at info@walkntours.com or text 617-991-3269 anytime. Have a great day!

Hi! As mentioned this is a tour on the WalknTours app. I don't think you ever downloaded it :(. In the ticket you'll get instructions on how to take the tour, if you have questions I'm here to help, text 617-991-3269. You were refunded immediately, that was before you wrote this review :) Thousands take the tours and write great reviews, I'm really sorry this did not work out for you. To note, this is all on an app, it's smart phone guided step by step through Baton Rouge :)

Seeing "Red Stick". Learning history of Baton Rouge.
Audio tour easy to navigate with reverse and forward features. Well done.

Nous avons apprécié cette visite, en plus, nous étions le premier dimanche du mois, alors tous les musées étaient gratuits. Malheureusement, le dimanche, presque tous les restaurants sont fermés et les bars aussi.

Frustration, es war zu kompliziert, bin nicht bis zum Audio durchgekommen. Konnte Tour leider nicht durchführen. Bin extra dafür 2x 70 Meilen gefahren🙈🙈🙈
