A walk down history with the French Quarter - Our tour guide Kyran was exceptional. She was highly knowledgeable about the French Quarter and a true history buff, making the experience feel like a walk through time. Kyran made the tour engaging and exciting, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment exploring the highlights of the French Quarter with her.

Great tour of the French Quarter. - Great informative tour. Our tour guide Karen was brilliant. She has lots of knowledge both about the history of the French Quarter and also interesting local resident knowledge. The tour was well paced with stops in the cool to accommodate for the heat. This was my third Two Chicks walking tour (previous tours were in 2018) and all have been excellent. At the end she recommended some great places for lunch. Would highly recommend.

Great history lesson on French Quarter and New Orleans - Great historical tour of the city. More about telling the story of the founding of the French Quarter than walking but was really interesting!

Boring tour of amazing place - Really boring tour of the french quarter, which is incredible because it's actually a really cool place. But our tour guide was inarticulate, jumped around from topic without any sort of making sense, and was just plain boring. I asked a few questions that went unanswered (it could be that she didn't know the answer since she was a recent transplant). Anyway, we ended up ditching the tour because it became really annoying at some point.
