Quay was an excellent tour guide! We learned a lot today. He was a safe driver, very professional and made the tour entertaining at the same time. We know so much more about this beautiful city! Highly recommend Quay and his citywide tour!

One of the highlights of our visit!
LaQuay, our guide (a self-described history nerd), was wonderful. So knowledgeable, personable, fun, considerate, and a great driver (super safe). He was a great storyteller, made smooth transitions between sites, and gave insight into historical and current NOLA. And he’s is a super talented musician!

Excellent Way To Explore New Orleans
We enjoyed four hours with Quay as he guided us through all the major areas of New Orleans. Quay was flexible with our meeting time and location and he arrived on time as scheduled. While most of our tour was from inside his air conditioned vehicle, we'd periodically get out to wander around specific areas. Quay was always ready with his camera to take and share photos of us at different sites. He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge of all things pertaining to NOLA and he was always ready to answer our questions. I highly recommend taking a tour with Quay.
