Small Group City Tour is the way to go when in New Orleans!!!

5.00We had an amazing afternoon outing with Rene (our guide for this tour) around all parts of New Orleans. I will start by saying there were torrential rains; thunder and lightening the afternoon we did our tour -- and the weather did NOT dampen our spirits even a tiny bit. Rene is born and raised in Louisiana and his family goes back multiple generations -- and he knew every little nook and cranny of town along with tons of fun facts. The history and his enthusiasm as we traveled along.....it is infectious. We exited the vehicle briefly only twice -- so the rain was almost irrelevant. We were provided with BIG golf umbrellas when we went to learn about the above ground cemetaries and when we did our stop for Cafe au Lait and Beignets. It was a perfect break in the middle of all the fun wandering via van. The small group can hold a few others but, ours happened to be just our own small group which made it that much more fun! We were all in town for Jazz Fest and we had planned in advance to tour on this particular day and not attend music at the Fest. With the rain, we really lucked out on our no music plans -- as the rain did not impact us at all. Rene picked us up on time at our hotel in downtown New Orleans in a van. Rene was FULL of so much information and answered our multitude of questions. Small Group Tour is the way to go!!! Rene is funny and informative. If you need recommendations of restaurants or want to know about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of that, Rene has you covered. He covered it all. We learned so much in that one day (1:00-5:00)!!! Highly recommend Tours by Isabelle and Rene -- you cannot go wrong. And, Isabelle herself, VERY easy to connect with and work with as we had a couple minor changes (one friend wanted to join but, then was not able). DO THIS TOUR. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Great Tour

5.00John our tour guide was extraordinary. He was friendly and oh so knowledgeable about every aspect of the city and history. We could not endorse him and tours by Isabel Avery higher-they were that Sensational
Great tour!

5.00Isabelle is so knowledgeable and has created a tour that was fun and a learning experience. We had limited time and could not have seen all the sites we did without her.
Our guide Gisele was bad.

1.00Our guide Gisele did a bad job with us. The tour was an hour late and she forgot all about our post tour reservation that she knew was important to us. Then to make matters even more frustrating, even though i was showing her the simple map directions on my iPhone, she dumped my wife and I off 5 blocks away from the restaurant. We had to walk alone in the dark and arrive over an hour late for our reservation for a table so we could watch our college football game. So we only caught the last few minutes.
Best city tour!!!

5.00This tour was recommended to us and it was so much better than we expected. We had a group of 10 people, we were picked up and dropped off at our door. Isabelle was our tour guide and her knowledge of the city made all the difference. The tour took us around many different areas in the city with several stops. If you are looking for a fun, informative tour about the history of New Orleans this tour can’t be beat. All ages on our tour, 20 to 80 and everyone had a great time! We will definitely plan a swamp tour with Isabelle on our next visit!!
Excellent intro to the city

5.00Highly recommend this tour for an in-depth tour of the city of New Orleans. We covered the French Quarter, Garden District, the levees, and a walking tour of a cemetery. An added stop for beignets in the city park was a treat. Our guide Rene is so knowledgeable. Excellent tour and tour company.
