Excellent, engaging tour - Bob provided an excellent, informative and engaging tour. He was knowledgeable of the history of the area and architecture. No shortage of stories about the beautiful homes in this area. Highly recommend, as you'll get to see a part of New Orleans you may not see if you're staying near th French Quarter.
