Exceeded expectations
Anita_S, Apr 2024
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.
Disappointing
Jeffrey_N, Apr 2024
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.
Canceled without warning.
Lew_M, Feb 2024
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
A Great History Tour.

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...

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!

The French Market was...
Lauren_W, Nov 2022
The French Market was great. Only thing I would change would be the cafe du Monde voucher should be A shortcut to the line or something. We didn’t have time to get it at the location because there was so much to do!
10 out of 10 would recommend even in the blistering July heat!

Jack is one of THE most knowledgable tour guides I’ve ever met. He doesn’t just go by a script, he truly knows his history and is always learning more to help him make your tours better each time

Super interesting and so many things we did not know about this great city. Our guide Jonn was so knowledgeable and fun.
A really good tour.
Peter_W, May 2022
A great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. It would make sense to do this early in a visit to pick up some context and tips for places to go. Recommended.
Great experience. Can hardly wait to go again
