Gave us details of the places we went to. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Ensured our safety and provided good suggestions of where to go for food.
Oz, our driver was extremely knowledgeable and the perfect host for our visit to this magical city. His insights and sense of humor highlighted a wonderful experience. Being native born and raised, his love for his city was on full display. We thoroughly enjoyed our three hours together and he felt like an old friend by the end of the tour.
Teddy was so great. He’s a local boy with tons of history knowledge. Highly recommend!
This tour was worth it. The guide was knowledgeable and took us around the most important landmarks. We learned about the aftermath of Katrina, the history of NOLA, we visited the cemetery where the founder of Popeyes and Anne Rice are buried and we saw many other beautiful places. This tour is recommended.
This was a great tour. It is so nice to just be a small group. It is a more personalized experience. The information was great. Even though I have been to New Orleans several times, I still learned something new and saw a new area.
Teddy was a fabulous tour guide. We learned so many historical facts from the far and near past. We saw the neighborhood s, the cemetery’s and ground zero of hurricane Katrina.
This tour was more than I thought it would be, even after reading the description details and reviews. Since most of my trip was in and around the French Quarter with a group, it was really cool to see farther-flung areas of New Orleans and learn about them; I'm keeping places in mind for a future return. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and also a very safe driver. The amount of information we got was nearly overwhelming, but in the best way. We even returned to the Garden District later in the trip because he made it sound so interesting. Based on the group limit of 7 (we were 6) and other reviews saying their group of 6 got basically a private tour, that's what I was hoping for. However we were in a larger van with another small group - and it was fine! The other group was also very nice and we all asked questions and joked with the driver. This was the perfect start to a fairly short trip, and scratched my itch for historic knowledge of places I visit. I definitely would recommend for any size group.
Teddy is an excellent tour guide—probably the best I have ever had . His knowledge and obvious love for New Orleans contribute to an outstanding experience
I was so grateful to have a comfortable van tour on a very rainy day! I saw all the highlights of the city. The guide was friendly, very knowledgeable, entertaining, and very flexible. The van was spacious clean and comfortable .It was a great overview of this unique area.
Great overview of the city . Small group with opportunity to ask questions. Pick up at hotel was easy and right on time.
