"Great experience overall! Arlin took care of me and had a plate waiting. She had so much passion for the history of BBQ in KC. Even if you have been to one or two of the stops before, the tour gives you a whole new appreciation for Kansas City's barbecue scene."

"We had a group of 10 do the BBQ tour in KC and the whole experience was awesome! Arlin was fantastic, very personable, funny, and just fit right into our group. The carpool karaoke was an added bonus that we all loved! We ate way too much but the food was incredible."
