Superb New Orleans French Quarter tour. - Yvonne was superb! She was extremely well researched, passionate, and an exceptional communicator. She was also very considerate, making sure we stopped at covered spots to avoid the rain. This tour absolutely lived up to it’s history of 5-Star ratings.

Libby our tour guide of Lucky Bean Tours made our day! - My wife and I had an amazing introduction to the French Quarter of New Orleans thanks to Libby, our excellent tour guide. She regaled us with her exciting stories at each spot that she took us to and the experience was so refreshingly different! Libby, being a native of New Orleans is the right person to make the French Quarter come alive with her distinctive narrative. We learnt so many unheard of aspects that we were transported back to that unusual era of the last 300 years!!!

Fun & Worth it! - Lesley was just wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly. Her passion for the city and history just pours out of her and engages you even more. Really enjoyed how she interacted with us and encouraged questions. The whole tour was great and we learned a lot about the history of the city, small tidbits here and there that just made it even more interesting. Learned about architecture of the city, food and just so much more. Things you wouldn't learn just on your own while here. This was our second time here, and so glad we decided on doing a tour this time around. Gave us a different experience and respect for the city. Was definitely worth it, and would definitely do more tours. Thank you Lesley for a great time, and keeping us cool!

Amazing tour!!! - Libby was an absolute delight. My partner and I were looking for a way to gather our barrings in a brand new city and so we booked this tour . And it did exactly that- not only did we learn about the French Quarter’s rich history, but we got an inside scoop from a town native on the best spots to eat and experience. It really made us even more excited about spending the next 7 days here! Libby was not only knowledgeable, but she was so incredibly personable which only made things more amazing! Thank you so much, Libby, for sharing your city with us!
