All Tour Guides are not Created Equal - Our tour guide Lesley was outstanding. She was very detailed in her descriptions of the history of the French Quarter, the city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana, as well as international historical data pertaining to all areas aforementioned. It was very obvious that Lesley had studied in depth and had committed to memory much data which she presented in a joyful manner that could only be provided by someone who loves history and the human beings who together share a limited time on this earth to contribute to it.
Thank you Lesley. It was our good fortune to have you as our guide. We were all truly blessed to tour with you.

Awesome Walking City Tour - My wife and I was in town for her birthday along with our 16 month old son. Our tour guide, Libby, was very gracious to us, very knowledgeable of the city’s history, and gave some great activity and food recommendations. We really enjoyed the walking tour and highly recommend it.

Highly recommended. An excellent tour with Libby - Highly recommended. An excellent tour with Libby. She made it engaging for adults as well as a 13 and 11 year old. If you can swing it, I would opt for the private family tour. Specially if you have kids. Libby was in contact with me a lot leading up to the tour to make sure she covered everything we wanted. Very responsive.
The regular tours didn't fit our schedule and we had kids with us; ages 13 and 11. We opted for the private family tour. The best money ever spent. She took us around the French Quarter. Her love of New Orleans and its place in history was very evident. She answered all questions in great detail. The best thing is how she engaged the kids. She asked them questions, and made sure they understood her answers. She also brought along little trinkets of historical significance that she handed out during the tour to keep them engaged. Libby received the highest praise a 13 year old can give about a two hour historical tour "It was good"

Highly recommend - Rene was fantastic. A wealth of knowledge and unafraid to tell the full story with a splash of humor injected to keep it fun. She talks fast so as to cram as much info into 2 hours as humanly possible. I'm glad there wasn't a test at the end! She has a passion both for her city and her profession. Thoroughly enjoyable!
