My family and I very much enjoyed this tour which included stops at a park, cemetery, and house flooded by Katrina. We also saw a number if different neighborhoods. Our tour guide, Nicholas, was excellent- very knowledgeable and funny.

We ended up having a small tour with just my wife and I. Our guide William was great. He didn't skimp a bit on explaining the sites and history. He was great about answering questions and personalizing the experience.

It was very informative and exciting. The history is amazing and the guide was very personable and informative. I will be recommending this tour to any one that will head your way.

The city tour by Tyler and Keisha was truly excellent. It showed so much of New Orleans and didn’t spend time on the Quarter. I would recommend this to my fiends.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. Food and drinks were great.
