Amazing experience! - I had a group of 10 friends on this tour with me, and everyone was enthralled with the history, food, neighborhood and detail Michelle shared with us. To keep the attention of our group was impressive in itself, but that everyone raved about the experience during and after is incredible. I have always loved New Orleans and it's history, but now have a newfound understanding of not only what makes it so special, but deep appreciation for why it is so very unique. The history we learned was fantastic, the places we visited beautiful and the food astounding. 100% would book Michelle again for another tour. Thanks Michelle!

So much fun! - Michelle was so amazing! She was knowledgeable, friendly and took us to great places. You can tell how much she loves her city. Don’t go with the big tour companies, use Bon Moment. A very personable experience. We loved it!

Great way to spend my friends birthday in our own town - but felt like we were out of town. Michelle was great! - Great company! Great tour! Was just long enough to enjoy some history and good New Orleans food. (started out rainy but soon after we started the sun came out) Would recommend to locals as well as out of towners. Bon appetite!

Best tour ever - The best tour you could ask for. Michelle came highly recommended by other tour guides and I’m glad we jumped on the experience. Not only was she informative and friendly, she assisted our gluten free friend in food she could eat and enjoy. She put our needs first. She was super friendly and even lent us her umbrellas when it rained. Highly recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans looking to experience food, culture and history.
