It was really good and my guide was fabulous! - My guide was Danny and he was awesome!!! So much knowledge and no question was left unanswered. He was so personable, and made feel comfortable straight away. I think he made want to visit NOLA again, just to explore it more.

Thank you for such a great tour. - Today was hot and we had small children. Our guide was incredibly flexible and creative with his tour. He educated and entertained us for 2 hours. He made us feel relaxed while we were on vacation.

Welcoming and informative tour - I loved this tour! It was well paced, welcoming, and really interesting. Such a lot of detail about the people or New Orleans, the buildings and the tiny details hidden around the French Quarter. Huge thanks to Warren who guided us in a gentle, thoughtful and humourous way.
