Leisurely trip around the French Quarter - Scott, our tour guide, was amazing. Four people were in our group and he structured the tour based on our interests. He shared information about the history, architecture, culture, food and music of the French Quarter. Two hours at a very leisurely pace. I was very impressed with the city and how it has changed in the twenty years since I was there previously. Very good tour that is a great option for those wanting a brief overview and don't mind walking a bit.

Very informative - Loved this tour. The day started out rainy but it was off and on and our tour guide was fantastic finding dry spots for us while she told us the history of the town. Lots of things I didn’t know about this city I learned from this tour. Loved it and would recommend and do it again.

Going back on time - Scott was very informative and left us with a need to return and explore more of New Orleans. The weather impacted our experience as it got far too cold.

Great Experience - It was my first time in NOLA and we were staying in the French Quarter. We decided to book the corresponding historic walking tour and it was great! Ivonne was knowledgeable, animated, interesting, and engaging!! We learned so much and enjoyed the sights. It did not feel like 2 hours, the time passed by quickly.
We strongly recommend this tour!

Enjoyable Tour - Renee was great! She was a wealth of information and has a great passion for the city. When I arrived, I asked how many people would be on the tour. They said 39 had signed up so they had 4 guides so they could divide us into 4 groups and have a small size per group. That was great!
