The highlight of our trip! - Quay was an amazing tour guide and this tour was by far the best part of our trip to New Orleans! He really went above and beyond’s to personalize this private tour to show us parts and the city we hadn’t seen, and shared historical and cultural considerations that make New Orleans the amazing city that it is! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans!

Fun and Informative Tour - Quay was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and it’s people and a joy to be with—incredibly friendly and open to questions and requests. We saw and learned much more than we would have in any other way.

Po Boys, Beignets, and the history of New Orleans! - Quay was a wonderful host! The youngest in our group enjoyed the storytelling and the beautiful houses the most. We appreciated Quay's efforts to make it a special tour for my older nephew's and niece. We all loved the food stops! I personally loved learning about the history of New Orleans. There was something for everyone and he worked hard to personalize the tour for all involved. We highly recommend this tour!

Tour cancelled night before - Our tour was canceled the night before our early morning meet up time. No explanation and didn’t get the email notice until we arrived at our meet up destination. Unreliable. Reservation was made over 2 weeks before the excursion was planned so plenty of time to notify us ahead of time.
