Our guide was absolutely phenomenal!!! He was incredibly passionate, caring, and dedicated to historical accuracy and respect to the individuals of the past. I left feeling extremely inspired and cared for! Aloyrio is a true gem!
Our guide was amazing!! Great information! He was so friendly and helpful!! Worth the money
It’s was very educational and it debunked the story heard about voodoo. Love the tour guide she was awesome
This was THE BEST tour of the French Quarter we could've done. Our guide Elario was extremely knowledgeable and approached the history of New Orleans with respect and great detail. We learned so much about the general culture and history of the town and the realities of voodoo and witchcraft practices here, as well as some of the most disturbing real stories of the town. Super interesting and detailed, unlike some of the larger tours where they just try to spook you with "ghosts and vampires" without telling you about the real lives of those behind the stories. If you're actually interested in the culture and history of occult New Orleans, this is the way to go. 10/10
This was the most positive, uplifting, inspiring and decompressing tour I've ever been on. David was amazing! Explaining the history behind the events, exposing the truth and weaving in facts from the past this was absolutely amazing! Exceptionally educational as well. Gives the whole audience a genuine sense of the truth between fact and fiction. Absolutely fantastic!!!
Walking and standing. Guild walkes the group to a spot, gathers all people, then starts narration. This allows for you to pay attention to both walking and the information. We loved "J"! She was very informative but more over she was funny and wanted us to have fun. She used person to person interactions to draw us into the stories. We passed other groups that did not seem to be having as much fun as us.
Elario was a wonderful tour guide. I absolutely love the history of the city GOOD, sad, and disturbing. Respect and pay tribute to keep the peace. Thank you again for a wonderful experience during my birthday weekend. Look forward to returning and being able to catch the bicycle race next time LOL ❤️❤️❤️
Phenomenal experience with J. She was informative, fun and personable. The information was presented in a fun way.
We had the best tour guide in the city. Jay was amazing, entertaining, and accommodating. We highly recommend this tour to anyone.
This was the coolest experience. It was so much fun walking around the French Quarter and learning about the history. Jay was an amazing tour guide. I would absolutely do the tour just because it was so cool and interesting.
