A great walk through Treme - An excellent tour. Highly informative and treats painful parts of US history with respect. Among my favorite tours in the city.

We had fun and learned a lot. - Our tour guide David, was great. You can tell he loves giving tours and New Orleans' history. He also has some great jokes. He was very kind and punctual. We learned a lot and left with a deeper appreciation of local history.

Awesome historical overview of food in NOLA - I had an incredible tour experience we had. Our guide, was absolutely fantastic! It’s hard to believe that we were his first tour group. His wealth of historical and culinary knowledge added so much depth to the experience. I left with a greater appreciation for the city and its rich cultural heritage. The food samples were an added touch. I’d definitely recommend the tour to friends and family.

Phenomenal - Very educational and my tour guide Nate was wonderful. He knows the culture and history true local to the heart . Looking forward to a voodoo tour next round . There is more to life than Bourbon St if you walk just a little further 😉

David Higgins is awesome! - Our tour guide was David Higgins and he was amazing! We met him at the coffee shop and, before we knew he was our guide I told my wife…that guy looks like a cool guy, I wish he was our guide! And he was! We had an entertaining time, he told us lots of interesting information about the history of New Orleans and the areas we walked around. He gave useful historical context to New Orleans, as well as silly stuff like playing Miles Davis to a bird that hangs out along the way. It was a highlight to our trip, we recommend it for everyone!
