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!

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.

Garden district food tour - Short walking tour of garden district. Stopped at three local eating establishments to taste the local cuisine. Michelle did a wonderful job explaining the area and history. The restaurants she picked gave us a sampling of the cuisine of the area. Would recommend to all groups.
