Good quick pick! - My husband and I enjoyed a private tour with Lesley of the Jackson Square area of New Orleans. We learned so much of the history and were able to move along at our own pace. She was very knowledgeable and gave great insight into the area as well as recommendations for places to go and things to see. Thank you Lesley!!

Awesome short tour of French Quarter! - This was a great tour and a great intro to New Orleans history and beauty! Loretta was a fun and friendly tour guide that made it feel like we were hanging out with friends. We did the short tour of the French quarter. She tailored it to be appropriate for our kids too. Five stars!

Short and sweet! - I was looking for a tour that could help me understand the French Quarters layout and this one did the trick! I had researched a lot about New Orleans prior to my visit and Loretta still taught me things I had not read. Highly recommend this tour!

Highlight of our trip - Libby was an exceptional tour guide. She asked about our interest and passions and tailored our tour to highlight things that we would enjoy and connect to. Even though it was a short tour, the tour did not feel rushed and she took the time to answer any questions we had and to point out many items of interest throughout the French Quarter. She gave amazing recommendations for food (such as Brennan’s) and unique shops (such as Hové Parfumeur). Our only regret is not taking this tour as soon as we arrived to New Orleans!

Highly recommended Nola tour with Libby ! - This has got to be one of the very best tours I have ever been on and I travel a lot. The tour was led by Libby who besides being passionate about her city of New Orleans, had such a wealth of knowledge to share about her home town. From food to music , I tried a few and she was spot on. She even texted me the highlights of the places we visited. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
