I, A PARTICIPANT IN THE BATON ROUGE FOOD TOUR- ALL ABOUT BATON ROUGE- FULLY UNDERSAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND WILL PURCHASE MY TICKETS WITH THIS IN MIND.
Absolutely!

Learn about the origin and history of Baton Rouge, its colorful and fascinating stories, local flavors and come away with some new favorite dining spots.
Absolutely!
Now, privacy may come at a higher cost, depending on the number of participants. Please call us at 225-772-7253 or email us at redstickadventures@gmail.com to discuss the details of what you have in mind.
As of August 2024, we are in the process of arranging this tour, but haven't cemented all the details yet. Contact us at 225-772-7253 and let's see what we can come up with!
Absolutely! We know some people prefer a more "physically active" tour, and we are happy to accommodate if that is your desire. A walking food tour can usually be arranged for groups of 4 or more with 72 hour notice so that we can get our walking food tour restaurants lined up!
Honestly, our weather here is sometimes pretty erratic, so walking food tours are generally discouraged due to our desire for our guests to have the best and most comfortable experience possible.
Imagine you, as a guest, sitting next to a group of other sweaty, hot and wet guests trying to EAT.
Since taste is tied to the sense of smell, this can have a pretty negative impact on your experience. Its not any fun when you have exposure to Southern Summer heat and humidity (or cold in the winter) and the potential of storms ruining your food tour!
The basic fact is that we have the most experience and the best price for the best product in our area. We have the ability to show you more in less time!
On our tour, you will have a cultural culinary experience that includes food tastings, meet and greet with local chefs/restauranteurs, local music, art and history - and IF time permits - SHOPPING!
We have experience that no one can copy.
We have strategic partnerships with restaurants in more than "one area" of town and can offer more options!
While everyone has their own likes and "tastes," a testament to our tour quality is that two major cruise lines trust us with providing tours and tour guide service to their hundreds of guests that travel into Baton Rouge each week. That is thousands of guests each month that we get to share Baton Rouge with!
With a combined almost two decades of experience in the tourism industry, we are a husband and wife team, we are owner/operators and we strive to do our best to provide a quality product and accurate information to our guests- through rigorous historical research and fact gathering. We also have a team of over 15 tour guides who help entertain and share the treasures of Baton Rouge. Connecting people with the local culinary and cultural scene is our PASSION.
This isn't a "job" for us- We love sharing and being a part of the amazing things happening here in the Baton Rouge area!
Let us help you #FeedYourSoul!
