Fabulous and informative tour - This was the second walking tour that we took with this company and we loved it. Guy was our guide for 2+ hours. He was very helpful and so knowledgeable about the Creole architecture of the Marigny. He also proved an excellent historical overview of that area along with the history of New Orleans. Would definitely recommend this company and their tours.

Enjoyable tour is engaging and professional, and also culturally and historically informative. - We really enjoyed our tour. Guy was simultaneously engaging, accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. More than an architecture tour, it was also culturally and historically informative. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Doug and Guy. Great guides. Really insightful and engaging. 💯 - Guy and Doug were outstanding guides for my group of about 25 friends in mid-November. We got lucky with fantastic weather, but their combined insights and natural storytelling talents are what made it really memorable. Highly recommend their tours.

Fascinating and engaging tour of the Marigny neighborhood - Guy was a wonderful tour guild and we appreciated the sincerity with which he explained the cultural history and context surrounding the buildings we were viewing. If we come back to NOLA we will absolutely book one of their other tours. This was our favorite activity of the trip.

Great tour! - Very interesting, informative, and fun. Our guide, Guy, was very engaging and knowledgeable. I’ve been to New Orleans many times, but learned more in this 2 hour tour than I did from all my other visits combined.

Fantastic tour - What a great tour. So much information packed into two hours. Guy, our guide, not only knew his stuff, he lives in the neighborhood and that added a unique perspective missing from many tours. It was so good that I’d take the tour same tour a second time! You will walk away with a deep appreciation for the Margy, its people, and history.
