This is a great way to learn the French quarter to explore further on your own. It was nice to see the history and understand what you’re looking at
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I agree with you – the French Quarter is obviously fascinating, but it helps when you have a knowledgeable local to explain the culture behind the sites. We are so grateful that you chose us to show you around, and we hope you come walk with us another day. Libby

Thank you so much for the great review and rating! We agree that Tim is a great person to walk around the historic neighborhoods of New Orleans with; he’s knowledgeable, but he’s also comfortable and friendly. I hope you have the opportunity to stroll with us on another vacation. Libby
Yvonne was a wonderful guide. She taught me several unique and interesting things about the French Quarter that I had never heard. I appreciated that she took my particular interests into consideration during the tour. Well worth the time and cost!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you had a great experience with Yvonne on your French Quarter tour and that you found the whole experience, informative and worthwhile. We do believe in customizing every tour to our guests’ interests, and in the slow summer months that is even easier to do because our groups are so small and we generally tend to move at a slower pace. Please come again! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. Libby

Our guide was great, created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour and local recommendations.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We love showing guests around the iconic neighborhoods of New Orleans, but we also know that people want recommendations for further enjoyment of their time in our interesting city.

Lots of information and history noted Lots of evidence to the information Factual and enjoyable experience Small group instead of large one where u kinda get lost in the crowds One of the favourites from our time here
We are so happy that your experience on our tour was a favorite for you! We strive to provide a good balance of historical information with fantastic stories. This city is unique and meaningful, but also fun and we want our tours to hold that same combination. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, and please come walk with us next time you make it to New Orleans. Libby
This was a wonderful tour on the French quarters of New Orleans learning the history of the people who made up the community, it included information on the cathedral and the architect of the buildings and the designs in the housing and-ironwork. there were four of us in our group that attended the guided tour and it was done very professionally.
Thank you so much for this great review! We pride ourselves on being able to adapt every tour to the interests of our guests, and it sounds like your group was interested in the beautiful architecture and design of the French Quarter. This neighborhood is like no other place in the USA, and it’s easy to see that it is unique, but if you get the stories behind the architecture from a knowledgeable local guide, it makes it all more interesting and engaging. Please come walk with us next time you make it to New Orleans! Libby
