4.00The guide was extremely informative. She has a lot of knowledge. I wished we could have covered more ground to see more sights, buildings, etc
Great Solo Tour Experience

3.00unfortunately, I can’t say that our tour guide Tish was excellent. I’ve been on many city tours and I’ve never had a tour guide walk away from their group to have a personal conversation with a friend They just passed on the street. this tour ran a good 30 minutes over which is no surprise because she felt the need to relate stories from previous tours she had done which I did not find told me anything about New Orleans French Quarter’s history by the end of the time all I wanted to do was walk away. I didn’t find it necessary to be told about storm damage to her house and what the repairs cost, nor where her daughter lives and works in the city. All of her sentences contained more umhs & ahs then words, as if she wasn’t sure what she was saying and couldn’t remember what to say next. I was greatly looking forward to this tour and unfortunately was equally greatly disappointed when it finally ended.
Great tour!

5.00We have been in New Orleans several times, but never took any tours. This time we decided to take a tour to learn more about the city. Scott was our guide. It was a very small group, Scott told us a lot about New Orleans, answered many questions we had. We learned a lot about the city and history of New Orleans. It was very interesting and informative tour. We would highly recommend it.
Amazing Storytelling!

5.00I have taken this tour a few times, but this was by far the BEST. Libby was FANTASTIC! Her knowledge of New Orleans' history was strong, but what truly set her apart was her storytelling. It made us feel like we were right there in the 1700 and 1800s. We ended up with a private tour for our group of 10, and she adjusted it to our interests. I will absolutely be using her again when I have people visiting from out of town.
Libby is the best!

5.00Libby was our tour guide. She is a true Creole! She is so knowledgeable, fun, enthusiastic... this was the best tour we did in downtown NOLA, and we did a LOT. She also had wonderful recommendations. She mentioned Pimm's cups, which I love, and can never find good ones anywhere- she suggested Napoleon House, and we went and I loved them (I got a whole flight, lol!). I learned so many interesting things and really enjoyed our time with her.
Great introduction to the French Quarter

5.00Interesting tour for first-timers to NOLA (my kids) and a good refresher for me since it’s been over a decade since my last visit. Loved getting reacquainted with the charming French Quarter, the history of NOLA, and contemporary information as well.
