Great Introduction!! - Karen was our guide My husband and I both appreciated the entertaining way in which she introduced us to the history of the city and the French Quarter. Karen is knowledgeable and knows how to entertain the group. The group size was small, we could hear well, and the pacing was right on.

Fun & Facts in the French Quarter - Rooster was our guide. Learned so much about the history of the French Quarter, with lots of laughs along the way. He even brought beautiful Mardi Gras glass beads as prizes for correct answers to questions. Covered history, food, and architecture just to name a few. The holy trinity of a tour. A little something for everyone!

She was highly knowledgeable about the French Quarter and a true history buff, making the experience feel like a walk through time.

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.
