Oz was an excellent tour guide. He is a native of NOLA and very well versed in the history of the city. He was also charming, polite and easy to converse with. He gave us so much interesting information and allowed us to stop for a few minutes for photos. He had some funny anecdotes, but mainly he focused on history of the city. I would highly recommend Oz for your CityTour of NOLA.
Such a joy to learn about NOLA beyond the knowledge of Mardi Gras. Our tour guide was a true 5th generation gentleman. Extremely knowledgeable & fun. We went everywhere even all the way up to the 17th Street canal to see where the canal breached during Katrina. We live nearby in another state, but always love coming over to New Orleans. I can't think of another place with so much history & character & Celebration Tours just made that even better.
We didn’t get to go on the tour - the tour guide skipped our pickup and wouldn’t answer our calls and messages Waited for 45 minutes outside our hotel. Viator customer service also couldn’t get ahold of them. Bummer way to start the day
We had a great, educational experience on this tour! Teddy, our driver and guide, was a wealth of knowledge about all things New Orleans. He was professional, yet personable, and thankfully did not try to entertain us with silly, ridiculous jokes. Teddy was everything we could have hoped for as a guide because we were very interested in learning about the City's past and present. We learned a lot and felt as though it was 3 hours very well spent.
Very nice tour of the area. One and a half hours with two stops....
Teddy is an excellent tour guide. He's native new orleans and tour was very knowledgeable and interesting. Our group of 8 enjoyed it very much. Highly recommend.
Oz was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of the city. We were able to see a lot of the city as well. This was a great way to see and learn about New Orleans.
Gave us details of the places we went to. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Ensured our safety and provided good suggestions of where to go for food.
Oz, our driver was extremely knowledgeable and the perfect host for our visit to this magical city. His insights and sense of humor highlighted a wonderful experience. Being native born and raised, his love for his city was on full display. We thoroughly enjoyed our three hours together and he felt like an old friend by the end of the tour.
Teddy was so great. He’s a local boy with tons of history knowledge. Highly recommend!
