1st trip to NOLA

Published on Jun, 2024

Dominick had an extensive knowledge of NOLA both past and present. He recommended incredible places to eat and visit.

100% worth doing

Published on Jan, 2024

Dominick was our tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and educational. He taught and showed us many things about New Orleans that have been "hidden in plain site" to us. I've been to New Orleans a few times over the years and this was my first tour. I'm shocked by how much I've missed over the years by just going with the crowd and I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a deeper understanding of the culture, neighborhoods, and history of this area.

Private Tour us the way to go

We were met a few minutes early by our knowledge guide. He is a native of the city and he knew the history well. He never rushed us and answered all questions politely.
