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.

French Quarter Walk - John was a great guide and would recommend. He had a good sense of humor and really connected with the group. Walked us thru the French Quarter giving us the highlights and history along with best places to eat a muffuletta. We took him up on the food venue and he was correct the sandwich was delicious. My husband and I had a bowl of gumbo and split a whole sandwich.

Unscripted, fun and informative - Karen and Christine are amazing! As I am a history and cultural presenter Christine made the perfect suggestion for my tour. Sent me an amazing reading list, and Karen with her insider knowledge and keen eye for architecture really brought New Orleans to life. Great eating and shopping recommendations as well.

Not Just A Party Town - Kaffey was a great guide with tons of historical information about the French Quarter. It provided a whole other way of seeing New Orleans... not just a party town. The tour covered highlights in the French Quarter so you had an idea of places to come back to later. Was super great we had a small group.

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!
