We had a lovely time with Quay! Thanks for spending the day with us. He showed us all the sights and had great insights into how to spend our time.
Quay was exceptional! Showed us all around the city with interesting stories about each section, gave us a sense of how this beautiful city came to be.
Amazing! Quay did an amazing job and was such a great tour guide. Lots of neat history, great photo stops and a great time!
Quay definitely deserves 5 stars! He picked us up right in front of our hotel and gave us a wonderful overview of New Orleans highlights and history. This was our first time in New Orleans and it was the perfect way to see and get lots of information in a short amount of time. He is very knowledgeable as well as being fun to hang out with. As an added bonus, he took lots of photos of us at several of the special places and then sent them to us so that we now have pictures to bring back the fabulous memories. You won’t be disappointed if you book with Quay!
Book this tour! Quay is charismatic and super knowledgeable about the area. You're going to get some great photo opportunities and learn things you may not on a typical tour. The vibe was also amazing and the group was so fun to be with, we were all fast friends. Thank you Quay, we really enjoyed hanging out with you.
Absolutely amazing tour! Quay is an amazing guy who really knows what he is talking about. He knew someone everywhere we went and could point out the history of stuff everywhere as well. I also felt the tour included a nice variety of topics and areas. We got to stop and walk into some areas on some parts but also drive around and get areas pointed out as well. He was extremely friendly and personable. I would definitely recommend to anyone I know visiting the city. Quay also takes photos of your group in multiple spots with either your phone or his nice cameras. Plus you get some delicious beignets included!
Quay was absolutely amazing. You can see the love that he has for this city and the community in it. The tour was thoughtfully planned out. The duration was perfect to see the city with the knowledge of someone so passionate about it.
Quay jams so much history into the time together so never a dull moment. Quay was asking us questions to kinda fine-tune the tour. He was invested in us having a good time. Must do tour of NOLA.
Had a great time, Quay was super knowledgeable and friendly!
Quay was awesome! The tour was fun and Quay was energetic and knowledgeable. The tour was a great mix of history and culture. We did the tour on day 1 of our 4 day trip and it gave us a great overview of the city and an opportunity to figure out where we might want to spend some more time. Quay gave us great tips and tricks as well as recommendations for other tours (swamp, ghost, etc) restaurants and places to take in some music. I’d recommend Quays tour to anyone coming to New Orleans!
