Great experience!! I learned so much about New Orleans and it’s fascinating history We learned about the above ground tombs
The meeting place was kind of confusing, no real place to check in. Guide was very informative but sometimes got off subject but still liked him nice guy. Tour was nice just general information about cemetery, housing, development in area. I would do for first time but one and done.
The stories and history was interesting but the sightseeing was less than stellar. We spent longer than I would have liked in the cemetary and cafe du monde. Our guide did a nice job. The tour itself could be reworked.
Tour was very fun and insightful. Our tour guide Sean was amazing!
Cynthia and Aaran were fantastic! We were in an air conditioned van (can’t imagine doing a walking tour in this heat!) and really felt like we got to see an learn more about the city this way. Cemetery, history, great neighborhoods… more than we expected. Highly recommend.
This was a part of my younger brother’s 40th birthday trip to Nee Orleans. He and I along with our cousin throughly enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was exceptional and the driver was kinda cute. The tour guide Cynthia was a font of knowledge that flowed seamlessly from one location to the other. I loved that she was open to questions and infused her local experiences with the tour. I took notes and adopted a plan to always do a tour first whenever I visit a city. You see so much and can really get a sense of the places you want to visit from the tour. It was great, Informative and entertaining. The air condition was also very helpful. This was definitely a highlight.
Cynthia was a great guide on our tour of New Orleans, LA!!! Very knowledgeable about the entire history of the city, spoke about her own experiences as a resident of NOLA, pointed out small details anyone would miss if they didn’t take this tour of the city!!! Carl was an excellent driver throughout this busy city!!!
Guide spoke so fast that you could sometimes not understand him. The streets are so bad that the noise of hitting holes in roads was uncomfortable and caused some of the not understanding of guide.
Amazing experience!!! Very knowledgeable tour guide and will definitely recommend! I took this tour with my son and we walked away with so much information!
What a great tour! Unlike other tours, our tour guide took us to the areas of New Orleans people shy away from, like Ninth Ward and Treme. Not only that, he was REAL about his city, and proud.
