Tour guide Jonn was fantastic. We had a large group and he remained engaged with everyone and remembered names, hometown cities and all, very impressive! He was so kind and willing to show and help us take group photos at some beautiful spots. Those are memories, we'll cherish forever.

My tour seemed very disorganized and scattered. The guide, Suzy, was nice but started the tour around 20 minutes past the starting time and ran about 10 minutes late at the end. She had some interesting facts but the tour wasn’t cohesive. Also the description of the tour makes it look like we’ll get beignets and cafe au lait at the end and won’t have to wait in line. Instead the guide just gave us coupons to get them on our own later. I wouldn’t do this tour again.

They canceled my tour at the last minute and I was not able to book another tour. We cannot get a refund at the last minute, they should not be able to cancel at the last minute

The tour leader Jonn, brought the tour to life with his knowledge of the New Orleans area. Most of all, you could tell from the way he presented the history, it was with genuine passion. I believe it made the tour much more enjoyable and connected to the culture of NOLA. Also, thanks for this tour allowing me to have my first beignet.

John was a great tour guide, he has lots of fun stories to share and great New Orleans tips! He also made sure to point out good photo locations and helped to take group photos.

Susie was great! We enjoyed the tour and she was knowledgeable about New Orleans and the Quarter. Love the voucher for Cafe du Monde, we can use it anytime.

Suzy had an engaging way of telling historical stories as we walked through the French Quarter! Even with crowds of people around us Suzy was able to keep our attention. We stopped at several places and learned so much about the history and cultural influences in the area!
