3.00It was not a good experience. I have been on one before and it covered a lot more ground and information. Tour guide was also rude and inappropriate to some degree when discussing the black history in New Orleans. I think you guys should do more training on how to discuss sensitive subject matter.
New Orleans inside addition.

Great tour with Gary K. He’s humerous and when we stopped we had sufficient time to look around, go potty and eat.
