Our guide was great, created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour and local recommendations.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We love showing guests around the iconic neighborhoods of New Orleans, but we also know that people want recommendations for further enjoyment of their time in our interesting city. We know it can be overwhelming to choose among all the offerings of entertainment, food, and culture. So we diligently try out as many restaurants, museums, and parks as we can. It is our gift to you! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We hope you come back for more stories and recommendations. We will be “researching“ in the meantime! Libby
Lots of information and history noted Lots of evidence to the information Factual and enjoyable experience Small group instead of large one where u kinda get lost in the crowds One of the favourites from our time here
We are so happy that your experience on our tour was a favorite for you! We strive to provide a good balance of historical information with fantastic stories. This city is unique and meaningful, but also fun and we want our tours to hold that same combination. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, and please come walk with us next time you make it to New Orleans. Libby
This was a wonderful tour on the French quarters of New Orleans learning the history of the people who made up the community, it included information on the cathedral and the architect of the buildings and the designs in the housing and-ironwork. there were four of us in our group that attended the guided tour and it was done very professionally.
Thank you so much for this great review! We pride ourselves on being able to adapt every tour to the interests of our guests, and it sounds like your group was interested in the beautiful architecture and design of the French Quarter. This neighborhood is like no other place in the USA, and it’s easy to see that it is unique, but if you get the stories behind the architecture from a knowledgeable local guide, it makes it all more interesting and engaging. Please come walk with us next time you make it to New Orleans! Libby
Enjoyed our time getting to know the city we were going to enjoy for the next week. Our guide customized it as needed to give us info on our interests.
A week in New Orleans! There is so much to do, and I’m glad you gave yourself some time to do it. I think your entire week will be enhanced by what you learned on our French Quarter tour. Thank you so much for choosing us and for taking the time to leave this excellent rating and review. Have a wonderful, wonderful vacation. Please come again! Libby
Tour was well organized. Scott was extremely informative on NOLA history and French Quarter sites. Learned many interesting facts that I did not know and left me with interest to learn more. Scott answered all our questions and even offered suggestions of places to eat and drink.
Thank you so much for this excellent review! We love to hear from our guests that they enjoyed their time with us and also that they received tips from their guide to enjoy the city even more. Scott is a great storyteller, lover of New Orleans, and his recommendations are always just perfect. Thanks for choosing Lucky Bean Tours out of all the fantastic tour companies in New Orleans, and please include us in your plans next time you make it to our city. Libby
Tour guide had a wealth of information. Very informative tour. Pace was good. Made stops to talk in shady areas which was good because the sun was rather hot the day of our tour.
Thank you for this review! I’m so happy that you felt informed by what you learned on our tour, and that the pace was comfortable. Our main goal is to share the culture and history of New Orleans by telling stories, but sometimes in the summer, our main goal is replaced by the goal of staying in the shade as much as possible! I hope your entire time in New Orleans is fun, memorable, and everything you hoped it would be. Please come walk with us on a cooler day! Libby
Lesley was knowledgeable and thoughtful. She alternated between stories and facts effectively. I would do another tour with her for sure.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Lesley is an excellent guide, and thoughtful is a great word to describe her. She is able to remain respectful of the neighborhood while sharing our culture with guests and, honestly, enjoying it so much herself! A perfect balance of facts and stories is what makes a good walking tour, and Lesley is great at it. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge her wonderful tour. Please come again! Lesley does Garden District Tours, too. Libby
