NOLA tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. His mic was cutting out so he had to repeat parts of his commentary. That was the only negative. The tour was excellent b

Great tour of New Orleans

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was fantastic and the amount of time was about perfect - only about two hours and 15 minutes or so. Really great to hear a lot of the history of New Orleans. I’ve been here multiple times but it’s always great to go to some areas that you haven’t been to before and to learn lots of things about different mansions, streets, neighborhoods, cemeteries, etc. We highly recommend this.

Wonderful guide!

This was an outstanding tour, and our guide, Cynthia, was wonderful. It is clear how much she knows and loves New Orleans and really embraces the culture there. The tour was a good overview of the city and gave me great ideas for areas I would like to spend more time in.
