Interesting and fun tour! - Excellent guide...very informative, funny, and organized in taking us around the city. It was a hot day and she was thoughtful about keeping us in the shade, making sure we got cold water or bathroom breaks (if needed) along the way! Loved her!

Brilliant tour with a super guide - Erin is an enthusiastic, welcoming and easy-going guide. She mentioned a ton of different historical information with no hesitation to answer questions in detail. The language speed as well as the walking speed were comfy to get along.

Great family tour experience - Our tour guide Erin was fantastic. She has a great way of blending storytelling, history, and architecture to make the history of the city and it's cultures come alive. She ties the past into the present cleanly and was a delight to learn from. She has a great way of tying each stop into a single key take away our kids loved (11, 13).

What a fab tour! - Our guide Erin was absolutely great, very knowledgeable and bubbling with enthusiasm about the city and its history! We learned so much during the two hours and were so impressed by Erin’s storytelling abilities that we booked on to her tour of the Garden District the next day! Totally recommended as a way together to know the city.
