JAY was the absolute best tour guide. The plantation + urban culture city tour is a MUST combo for new tourists. It is definitely a must in order to understand the rich history of the city. This tour gives you an insider look and helps you view the city through a more knowledgeable lens. Jay is a New Orleans local who is passionate about sharing his knowledge with the participants. He is very open to questions and has amazing energy. I loved this tour! I wish I would’ve attended towards the beginning of my trip to get the most out of the city. It is 1000% worth the price!
