Great tour. Very informative and kept us captivated the whole time. I learned so much history and architecture of the area. I would highly recommend to everyone. A must see!!!
We agree that it is a great way to learn our history and architectural as well as diverse cultures.
Rustic experience. I think that because of the way traditions were somewhat maintained. It was easy to get a feeling of how things use to be done. I was also impressed by how all the cultures intermingled with all levels of respect. People were friendly and I'd do it again.
It is our pleasure to share the culture of our city with visitors. "People were friendly and I'd do it again." is music to our ears.
We had Harris as our tour guide and he was fantastic. He had so much knowledge of the history I would definitely book this tour again.
Katie, Harris is a guide who shares so much of what he knows about our city and our culture. Thank you for mentioning him.
Our tour guide Harris was the definition of in depth knowledge about the history of NOLA with a personal connection and commitment to its culture, its arts, its music and food. His love for the city he represents is apparent and no one else can do this tour better than him. We were lucky and forever grateful.

Very informative city tour in the comfortable Gray Line bus through New Orleans. Our tour guide Harris was very knowledgeable and a native of NOLA; he had some anecdotes in store and could answer any question! Highly recommended!
Ihre positive Empfehlung wird sehr geschätzt. Unser Reiseleiter Harris freut sich sehr darüber, zu wissen, wie sehr er zum positiven Erlebnis unserer Gäste beiträgt.
Nice tour, saw lots, great amount at each location, clean bus, great driving and perfect guide. Would do again
We love to have you do the tour again too!
Good short day tour. Lots to see, lots of history. Wished we stayed at St. Louis #3 longer. Worth the money, thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Thank you for the wonderful review.
We took this tour the day we arrived, to get a feel for New Orleans. Our guide Katherine was excellent, keeping up her very informative chatter throughout the trip. The bus took us to areas we wouldn’t have made it to on our short trip and it was really interesting. Driver Stacey was also great. Definitely recommend if you’d like to see more of NOLA and learn about its history.
You are so right about this tour. If it is a first time visit to the city, this tour lays all the groundwork on neighborhoods and cultures.
Harris was an Amazing tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The fee was fair and our group size was perfect. We had a fun time and learned a lot about the Big Easy!
Fun and learned a lot seems to be the greatest review for this tour. Thank you.
