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 !

Wonder NOLA Visit - There were only 3 of us in our family so we ended up with a private tour. Our guide was great and she kept us in the shade the whole time which was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and gave good tips on places to see and stop at while here.

GREAT 45 min tour! - Peak was awesome! She gave us a lot of interesting info but at a good pace, which was exactly what we were looking for. We saw other tour groups, on the two hour tours, who looked bored as they stood around listening to their guide. We were never bored! Peak also gave us recommendations for places to visit and they did not disappoint. We highly recommend this tour!

Excellent short Marigny Tour - This review is for the new “Marigny Short tour”. Great way to start our vacation to New Orleans, we got lots of helpful local recommendations personalized for us. Our guide was very knowledgeable in the history of Marigny and its current local music scene.

Great condensed tour - Great tour of Jackson Square with Libby. I took my mom who is elderly, and 45 mins was the perfect amount of time to give the background history of New Orleans for our trip. Our guide was passionate and had a wealth of knowledge of New Orleans history. 5 Stars!
