Information tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We booked our tour but it didn’t meet the minimum number of participants, however Larry our guide stepped up to take our small group of four. He was the best, and gave us history of the city he was most knowledgeable of. We learned a lot. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and recommend it.

French Quarter History tour - ask for Milton

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a blast. Milton our guide was very knowledgeable and so sweet. We learned a lot about the French Quarter History and could listen to Milton all day. The beignets at the end were a special treat.

Fantastic guide and informative tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Jonn was a fantastic guide! He is very knowledgeable and shared super interesting information. He’s also a great storyteller, and just a really nice guy. Prior to beginning the tour, he made sure to understand what we were interested in, and emphasized those things. I would highly recommend the tour and Jonn.

Rich History and Culture experience

Published on Sep, 2024

John our guide absolutely made this tour! He was engaging and very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and culture of the French Quarter. It was obvious he loves the rich history here and helped my sister and I really appreciate it too! Cafe du Monde was everything we expected and a must do, so the fact it’s included is an awesome bonus to a great tour.
