At Tour Kansas City & The Kansas City Barbecue Tour, we believe in carefully curating guides to be inspired enthusiasts of Kansas City as a whole. Our guides follow a slow and supported training to be confident in the passionate people they are. We believe in the following :
- Our Guides become visitor’s KC Connections, ambassadors and friends. Our guides have knowledge of more than just barbecue, and are eager to guide you on your way to the KC adventure you’re seeking while destroying myths, and educating about KC hacks and hideaways that only true locals and KC Fans may know!
- Our Guides are of service to our customers AS WELL as our network of eateries, bars and businesses. Do not be surprised if our guides blend smoothly in with the staff, pitching in and being of service above and beyond. Why? We want to be welcome back of course! We want to leave our businesses as joyful and well, just as we were welcomed! That’s community.
Our Team:

On her own time, she spends time with her two dogs, Chapo and “” while running her private practice with Soundbed Studio. Scherrf’s ranks savories and “snackies” as it’s own food group ranking high on her foodie scale and sings jazz by evening in the trendiest speakeasies across town.
Lavetti Vegas – Year: Secondary
Lavetti joined our team hailing from Omaha, Nebraska knowing he was truly a Kansas Citian at heart. His roster of tours extends to: Chiefs Tour, BBQ Tours, and the Tacos and Margaritas tour. Lavetti graces the stages of KC and all over the midwest with his comedic stylings, keeping people in rolling laughters long after our tours. Catch Lavetti on a stage near you!
Arlin Pacheco – Head Guide, Year – Senior
Miss Pacheco has been on the bbq tour through previous ownerships and even bbq joint lives. Her experience and heavy focus on “quality of the experience” has kept the KC BBQ Tour through as many lives as a cat would worry. She loves curating new tours and routes while constantly keeping watch for new nooks and KC finds to explore.
We adore our guides and the gift they bring to the dinner table! However our team extends beyond our bus doors and into the dining and tasting hall of the establishments we visit. We thank every team member of each locale we visit for the genuine good service and care we receive every time! 14+ years going strong. Our tours, together with our network of businesses, are true friends, neighbors, and community. Follow the link below to see a “Spotlight” on our service community.
