    Interesting and fun tour!
    Kevin_M, Apr 2024
    Excellent guide...very informative, funny, and organized in taking us around the city. It was a hot day and she was thoughtful about keeping us in the shade, making sure we got cold water or bathroom breaks (if needed) along the way! Loved her!

    Great history tour of the FQ!
    Lina_C, Dec 2023
    We absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and the FQ as well as explaining a lot about voodoo and the role it’s played in the city. It was not a sensationalist / gimmicky tour but really went into the actual history and people who make New Orleans what it is.
    Nika for president
    Janie_B, Dec 2023
    Mannnnn. Give Nika not only a raise but make her President of America. I’ve been on a lot of tours and this was my favorite. Not only was she well informed. Above and beyond educated on these topics. Her energy and her excitment about the topics at hand are unmatched. She is amazing. Nika for President 2024
