We enjoyed the experience on the New Orleans City and Cemetery Tour with Kate and Dwayne. It was a perfect way to get an overview, learn some history, visit various neighborhoods and feel comfortable in the city. We thought it had the perfect blend of on and off the coach time, allowing you to have some up close encoutners in important locations. Kate has a tremendous amount of knowledge of the history and neighborhoods of NOLA, Duane is a skilled driver and a dear gentleman. Great team, wonderful tour and we loved the opportunity to stop for the beignets and cafe au lait!! Thank you Kate and Dwayne.

Our tour guide Leslie was so knowledgeable about New Orleans history that she really needs to be teaching the subject at a local university. Amazing depth of knowledge and extremely engaging delivery. What a treat!
