My guide was Danny and he was awesome!!! So much knowledge and no question was left unanswered. He was so personable, and made feel comfortable straight away. I think he made want to visit NOLA again, just to explore it more.

Today was hot and we had small children. Our guide was incredibly flexible and creative with his tour. He educated and entertained us for 2 hours. He made us feel relaxed while we were on vacation.
Fantastic. So glad our guide made you a great experience and thank you for supporting Friends of the Cabildo

Ric was the best! Very informative
He is one of the best thank you for the support!
It was a great experience, both my kids and myself learned a lot. There is no way we could tour French qtr in the hot summer without Cindy’s great help and guide!!
Cindy is a wonderful guide, glad you enjoyed
Carolyn G is a gracious, knowledgeable, and articulate guide. She focused mainly on the French Quarter’s architecture to frame the development of New Orleans from an Indian trading village to becoming a critical prize in the 18th Century Super Power contest among the European Imperial powers. She showed how subsequent waves of immigration have created the cultural, culinary and musical gumbo that makes the city a uniquely attractive tourism destination for Americans and visitors from around the world,
She is one of the best, thanks for the 5-star review
