The best guide ever ! - While in New Orleans for a convention, we were offered a guided bus tour of the city. I want to mention our amazing guide, DeAnna Dupont, for all the historical information and anecdotes she shared with us with passion, humor and knowledge. Of all the tours I have taken while travelling, this was the most instructive, funny and pleasant one I've experienced ! I highly recommend DuPont and Cie for a great visit around town !

Entertaining-Learned a great deal!! - Lacey was extremely knowledgeable - it didn't matter what off-beat questions we threw her way! Bring an umbrella for sun protection. Highly recommend this tour!
