The tour guide was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny and professional. I learned a lot and appreciated his passion for what he does. I wish he could conduct a tour of the French quarter (the one I did today was horrible). I highly recommend this company and this terrific guide.

The tour guide had an encyclopedic knowledge base about the Garden District of New Orleans. His presentation was also super fun and interesting. I can't imagine that anyone could do a better job on this topic than he did.

Great tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions well. It was a gorgeous area and it was exciting to learn about the history while being able to view each house. This tour is a must-see for the classic and stunning New Orleans architecture and history!

We had a great time. Our tour guide, Angie, was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. She gave us a lot of history, information about the houses in the neighborhood, and NOLA traditions. A few pieces of advice would be to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for walking on uneven and rough sidewalks.

Our tour guide Harris was knowledgeable, engaging, and informative. He managed to give a tour that everyone from my teenage boys to my parents enjoyed. It was definitely worth the money and I would recommend this tour group to anyone!
