Scott, our tour guide, was wonderful…he was very informative about the history and sights of the French Quarter.
Scott is wonderful and so are you, for taking the time to leave this fantastic and helpful review! We agree that the famous buildings of the French Quarter are exciting enough for visitors to see, but we are honored to tell the stories behind the buildings, which makes it all more meaningful. We hope that you return to New Orleans and take another tour with us. We are eager to tell you more stories! Libby

We are extremely happy with our experience in New Orleans with Scott, our tour guide. He was amazing , very knowledgeable and he came to find us because we got lost. He took great care to ask us what we wanted to see and learn about. He answered all our questions very professionally.
I’m so glad Scott found you! We really appreciate this wonderful review. He’s an excellent guide who knows our history and our culture, and obviously, he knows his way around the city! We really love it when people tell us what they’re interested in learning, so we can customize every tour. It makes it more informative for the visitors, and actually more fun for us. Every tour is different! Please come again. Libby
Super knowledgeable guide,. Fun way to learn the history of NO. Loved the stories of how the city came to be.

Our guide was Scott and he was great! He gave a lot of recommendations for local food and attractions. Learned so much history about NOLA that we had no idea about. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for this recommendation and rave review! Scott is so knowledgeable and friendly, and really helps his guests fully appreciate the history and the culture of New Orleans with recommendations for further enjoyment. Thank you so much for choosing us and for taking the time to leave this review. Please come again! Libby
The guide was truly fantastic. I loved the emphasis on small groups. I found it interesting how all the tours I took all interconnected the history of New Orleans. .. Also leaned how strange Nicholas Cage is being down there and I feel bad for the Big Easy. Honestly I think they'd rather have Shia LaBeouf.
Wow! This is a fantastic review and we are so grateful to you for posting it. We believe that keeping small groups makes the experience more meaningful, and people make those valuable connections. Yes, Nicolas Cage has certainly made his mark on our city! And Shia LaBeouf is beginning to eclipse him, if that were even possible. I can tell you enjoyed your time in New Orleans, so I hope you come back and walk with us again. Libby
We had a great time during the tour, Scott our guide, was amazing! He clearly loves the history of this town and he did a great job explaining all the details 😊 we loved it
Thank you so much! Scott is such a great guide with, as you noted, a great love for the city, its history, and its culture. We appreciate you taking the time to sing his praises in this review. Please come again! Libby
Great tour of the French Quarter. The guide (sorry forgot her name) was very knowledgeable and gave a real sense of the history of the place and gave plenty of tips on how to enjoy the Quarter which were on the money.
Thank you so much! In this case, we will each assume that this review is for us! We sure do appreciate you taking the time to leave us a high rating and we are so happy that you enjoyed your walk through the French Quarter with your guide. Please come again! Libby
Fourteen year experienced guide provided a good snapshot of history for key historical areas. The weather was really hot and she ensured everyone was okay while the tour continued.
Experience counts! We are so happy that you enjoyed the highlights and stories of this historic neighborhood. It is possible to enjoy a walk through New Orleans even the summertime, as long as you stay in the shade and keep drinking water. Thank you for braving the heat to tour with us and for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. Please come walk with us on another (cooler) day. Libby
