This was an outstanding 2-hour walking tour. Our guide Leslie was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history, different cultures, and architecture of the area. It was a small group, fewer than 10, which was perfect. Highly recommended!!

Tish gave wonderful historical facts, brought the French Quarter to life. We had been to New Orleans previously, but learned a lot of new things.

The tour was nice, and we enjoyed learning about the history of the French Quarter. However, our tour guide seems to have gotten some historical facts wrong (in particular, the date/centuries when things happened), so we weren't impressed by that. Otherwise, it was a good tour with nice views and plenty of good photos and memories.

Scott the tour guide was very knowledgeable and added a bit of humour to the tour, we learned about the history and also how to get about the city, about the local food and drink, we only wish we’d done the tour when we first arrived.
