Must do your first day in New Orleans! - Paul made our first day in New Orleans so memorable! This is a man who loves his native city. Knowledgeable, funny, polite and so invested in ensuring we had an incredible day. Paul come visit us in PA whenever you want!

Fun and informative! - Really enjoyed this. Recommend the VIP as the smaller group dynamic made for a more personalized experience (and a good way to meet some new people if that's your thing).

Awesome experience - We had a great tour and saw a lot of New Orleans we’d never seen before on other trips. He gave us lots of info as well as seeing some of the best of the best - highly advise this private tour if you are not a larger group than he can take in his vehicle

Start here - you won’t be disappointed!! - Paul was a fantastic guide - you can tell from the moment he introduced himself he loves this city and wants you to love it too. He shared so much about each area and really took his time explaining the history and significance of each area. He made sure we had dining and entertainment mapped out for the remainder of our trip. We took all of his suggestions and had a blast.

Worth it! - A good trip thru the city, showing what the WHOLE city feels like. Yes, French Quarter was covered, but real, local neighborhoods... Passing by schools and grocery stores, driving on side streets and boulevards. He's a lifer, a local, and will respond if you have questions. I asked a specific question and he changed plans on the spot to fit it into the journey.

Fantastic Driving Tour, great for all ages. - Uncle Paul took us (my 8yo son, 5yo daughter and myself) on a driving tour around NOLA. I was so impressed with his ability to curate the tour to the kids. They learned so much more than I expected and were telling our friends and family all about it when we got home. I loved how he pointed out kid friendly places for them to connect to on the tour-a beautiful library for a school, stop at the playground, playing at the big oak trees and so much more. He went above and beyond when he was getting my daughter excited about the playground and went down the slide himself. :) I didn't expect them to really hold onto much of the info from that day b/c we fit a lot in but I can tell they really were listening and absorbing so much of what Paul spoke about. I think in part b/c of his delivery but also b/c of his warm, friendly demeanor. He really knows his stuff and is a genuinely kind person to meet who loves his city. Super recommend to all.

Worth the time and money - We have been to New Orleans many times. Our time spent with Paul and Sharon provided more information packed into a short time frame than any other prior experience. If looking for value coupled with knowledge we highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. With the exception it came to an end.

Fabulous Tour! - We have done many tours in many cities and Paul was the best tour guide we have ever had. He was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour as the first thing you do in NOLA as Paul will guide you through the city and give you recommendations for the rest of your trip.
