5.00Bob gave me two awesome tours today! One of the homes of the rich and famous and the other the French Quarter ghosts and legends! He knows so much about NOLA! It was an honor to have him as my tour guide! I saw lots of Freret and Henry Howard houses!

5.00Christine was a superb tour guide. The tour could have been cut down to 1.5 hrs. Just my opinion. We enjoyed the spots Christine took us to. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and she was extremely knowledgeable about the topic. I highly recommend this tour.
Bob was the BEST!

1.00Bob was knowledgeable about all the movies that were filmed in the French quarter but I thought I would learn more about ghosts and haunted stories. We didn’t even go to all the points on the itinerary.
A good time!
