The tour was carried out in the streets, walking from place to place. We were only able to hear half of what was said, as the guide kept turning his head from side to side. He may have been knowledgeable, but had dry delivery, even though he was an actor and had just finished a book. Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations, but we never saw anything thing spooky or strange or very interesting. We never went inside any creepy buildings or heard anything interesting 🤨. Just a history lesson.
It was amazing!! J is a great tour guide, best one I've ever had the pleasure to meet. She's so interesting, definitely gifted in talking and explaining great stories from the city, backed up by real historical data, and so charming that she had my friends and I hypnotised and fully immersed by her tour ❤️
Awesome tour. Great Host. Very informative. Nice walking tour with great information. Will definitely do another tour.
We had the guy with the piercings (I forgot his name) he was an awesome tour guide and definitely knew the history of New Orleans and was informative! 10/10 loved it!
Our guide was amazing; I am having trouble remembering his name. He explained the history of NOLA in such a captivating manner and was extremely knowledgeable
Jay is the absolute BESTT !. She told us she was the most unhinged tour guide in New Orleans and she is absolutely right . Lol . Absolutely LOVEDDDDD The experience!.
Great tour with a lot of interesting information. Noah was a great guide and we enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Hard to hear the tour guide. He was nice and knowledgeable but just couldn’t hear well with the traffic. Could hear other tour guides nearby better. Was disappointed the shop was closed afterwards also because we wanted to look around more. Definitely worth the stop at Harry’s Corner for the ghost buster drink.
Jai was our guide. She was awesome. Made it a lot of fun and told us a lot of things we didn’t know. Tour was a little over 2 hrs.
Very good, very interesting Kai was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend taking this tour
