Mrs. Yvonne was an absolute delight! She knew her stuff and took the time to double triple check everything she taught us. My hubs and I had such an amazing time and I say this with all my heart -I could have spent another 2 hours learning more from her. Her enthusiasm and energy was top notch! If you can, book with Mrs. Yvonne. You won’t be disappointed.
Go on Lesley's tour!

It was extremely thorough. Guide was a New Orleans native and clearly loves her city so she made it authentic and entertaining. If you love history and architecture, this is a great tour for you. All outdoors and lots of walking and standing but if you are up for it, constant stories.
Magnificent, informative New Orleans tour for 2 Californians😍
