5.00Liz was highly knowledgeable, fun and had wonderful stories that brought all the building we looked at to life. We got some steps in, walked at a good pace including the French quarter, antebellum area, the battery/waterfront. Definitely worth it and more enjoyable that trying to navigate on our own. No brainer....just book this one!

Liz was very knowledgeable on the origins and development of the city as well as its role in the nation’s birth and history.
