This was a very enjoyable walking tour and very informative. Our guide gave us in-depth background information on the establishment of the French Quarter and old New Orleans, as well as the various characters in history that influence the shape of the area. Most importantly we really learned to distinguish the various types of architecture styles that have been built in the area. It gives me a different perspective when I walk through the French Quarter.

We’ve taken many historic architecture tours over the years, and this was one of the best! The guide Caroline’s native New Orlinean background, Masters in Education, and teaching experience was evident in her ability to distill complex local history as expressed in the architectural traditions of the Quarter. She is pleasant, approachable, and makes time for questions. On the tour, she illustrates each style with multiple examples, related local history, and a set of picture illustrations she shows during the discussions. An educational and enjoyable experience and great introduction to the French Quarter, this tour went beyond our expectations and was well worth our time!

Caroline's passion for New Orleans history and architecture, combined with her educational background, allows her to make complex topics engaging and accessible.

Thank you for choosing to explore the French Quarter with us!

New Orleans architecture tells such a fascinating story, and we're glad the tour helped bring those different styles and their history to life.

It was a nice walk through the area. We spent a lot of time standing around and the pace of the tour was really slow. I was disappointed with how little architecture was discussed. It wasn’t worth the money or time.
Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the walk through the neighborhood. We’re sorry to hear the pacing and focus didn’t meet your expectations. Our tours are intentionally designed to be slower-paced and discussion-based, allowing time to closely observe architectural details and explore the stories behind the buildings. We understand that style isn’t the right fit for everyone. That said, we’d love the opportunity to give you a different experience—please feel free to reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to invite you back for a complimentary tour with another guide.
