Went from Biloxi to New Orleans day trip. It was just my husband and myself. AJ was our tour guide he was very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this trip. 👌 AJ was awesome.
AJ our tour guide was great. He will customize the tour to your likes and needs. Lots of history was given on the tour which we were very interested in. Very safe driver.
Tour guide was wonderful!! He was super knowledgeable, kind and courteous. Adjusted tour to do less than walking for my mom who recently had her knee replaced.
Thank you both for such a thoughtful review! I truly enjoyed spending the day with you — it felt less like work and more like showing friends around the Mississippi Coast and New Orleans. I’m especially glad we could adjust the pace to make it comfortable for your mom. That’s exactly why I love offering private tours — it allows us to tailor the day to you. Wishing you safe travels, and I hope our paths cross again soon!
Fantastic tour! AJ is the ultimate tour guide. Super knowledgeable,friendly,very accommodating! Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide!
Our tour with AJ was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the experience was filled with energy, insight, and fun. AJ guided us through some of New Orleans’ most iconic landmarks, and his deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems made every stop feel meaningful. He shared fascinating stories that brought the past to life and highlighted key places every visitor should see, along with a few locally loved spots we might have missed on our own. We truly had an unforgettable time and walked away with a much richer understanding of New Orleans. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough—AJ’s passion for the city and his engaging style made it one of the coolest and most memorable experiences of our trip!
Do not hesitate to book this trip. I can't say enough good things about this adventure. We saw so much more of New Orleans than just the French Quarter. We learned a lot about the city and also about the places we traveled through to get there from Biloxi. Our guide, AJ, was one of the best things about this trip. He seemed to anticipate our needs He took pictures, he had umbrellas for us, he carried our bags when we went shopping, he entertained and informed us throughout the trip and accommodated our special requests without hesitation Can you give this man a raise? He deserves it.
This tour was perfect from start to finish! AJ is very knowledgeable and has planned a great itinerary that covers everything that you would want to see. He is however flexible and included an addition that we requested which was awesome. Everything is at relaxed pace and we never felt rushed. I did not want the hassle of researching everything to see and driving on our own. This was pure luxury having a private driver and guide to give us the history and highlights. I would highly recommend this tour and company.
AJ was friendly and kind. He took good care of my daughter and I! He knew all the right places to go and had lots and information to share. We felt safe and had a perfect overview of the city of New Orleans. Worth every penny!
A great time, our guide AJ provided a wonderful New Orleans experience. One of the best tours I’ve been on.
AJ our guide was amazing! Picked us up at our hotel and provided great information about what we were seeing and history of New Orleans all day. He took us to a couple of extra places that we requested to see. He was very patient with us and took pictures for us. The day was planned out perfectly so we could see and experience New Orleans. 100% recommend
