From the comfort of a chartered bus, this tour begins in the historic jazz district, called 18th & Vine, with the first stop at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The Kansas City Monarchs were the longest-running franchise in the history of baseball’s Negro leagues, showcasing some of the league’s biggest players, like Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, and Buck O’Neil.

After the museum visit, we’ll take a narrated bus tour to see some of the city’s highlights, including the murals of the Crossroads Arts District, Union Station, World War I museum, and the Country Club Plaza.

The tour ends with a 45-minute walking tour of Jacob L. Loose Park, exploring the Battle of Westport civil war site, the rose garden, Japanese garden, and the Monet-inspired lake. The walking tour concludes at the hotel at 6:00 pm.
