5.00Our guide was amazing. Originally from Germany, she knew more about New Orleans than friends that have lived there all their lives. She was kind, funny and professional, stopping at various hot spots for stories and history. I would strongly recommend doing this if you visit the French Quarter! Rob-

5.00Well worth the price, super interesting and fun. We were in NOLA a few days prior to a cruise and a week before Mardigras so it was busy but not swamped. We would recommend this to our friends and to you! When we return, we’ll do it again!!
Fun Afternoon
