Great overview of the French Quarter (and NOLA)! - Such a great way to learn more about New Orleans and the French Quarter! Peak was so knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. Not too long. Not too short. Highly recommend as an easy introduction to local history.

Highly recommend! - Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the extensive enriching history of Nola! It was such a great experience, we booked another tour the same day. That tour had different stories and was equally entertaining and informative!

Informative! - Very informative. Some badass women have come from New Orleans! Loved the square and the cathedral. Wish we had time to go into some shops but we did that after the tour on our own.
