Great. - Excellent visit in perfect French with Lawson. Scholarly but never boring visit, adapted to our knowledge, which allowed us to understand New Orleans between Creoles, Acadians, and other French and Spanish. Differences between Louisiana and other places of slavery.

Great time - Visit and story of the history of the Creoles very well constructed and interesting, our guide Muriel very friendly and attentive. Tours by Marguerite seems to be a small structure but as a result it offers very personalized and local booking support. Furthermore, this is one of the rare visits in French for those who do not have such a good command of English. A great experience

Best guide ever. - Muriel, was the best guide I’ve come across. I made the mistake of choosing the tour in the French language. She went above and beyond by choosing to do the same tour in English three hours later. The knowledge she has of the people who inhabited the French quarter was extensive.
