“Spent our first morning in New Orleans on this amazing tour which took us all around the city. Our guide Joseph was SO informative with lots of history, architectural details, and cultural insights. We were able to check some things off of our bucket list (seeing the different neighborhoods and districts, a cemetery, and sampling beignets,) gained a lot of insights into the history of the city and the aftermath of hurricane Katrina (including seeing where one of the levees breached and a house that was turned into a museum of sorts), and also got a good sense of different places we want to explore further. Had we only had…”

“This was a wonderful learning experience, and the ride was nice.”
See French Quarter, Tremé, Garden District, and St Louis Cemetery No 3 on an air-conditioned guided tour with Marie Laveau.
“My daughter ( who was going to school in New Orleans) and I wanted to get an overview of the city and visit Marie Laveau's burial site. The bus left earlier then scheduled from its pickup point but we were lucky to catch it nearby. The driver/guide had a wonderful creole accent but was very difficult to understand. so the city tour was not enjoyable. We visited A cemetery - but not the one where Laveau was buried so this was OK but in the end pointless. Overall a very disappointing tour.”

A 6.5-hour New Orleans combo: city highlights by coach plus a 2-hour Steamboat Natchez jazz cruise with lunch options.
“Robert was our city tour guide and was FANTASTIC! Very knowledgeable and made the experience more personal. We learned more than we expected and would recommend it to anyone that asks. Paddle Natchez boat tour was fun but somewhat uneventful. We’re glad we did it but probably would not go again. Overall, the combination of both tours were worth the money with the city tour being the best.”

“A bike tour was a great way to see all that NOLA has to offer. We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable and provided us with the history of the city and different neighborhoods. We saw the Mississippi River, Jackson Square, parks, historical neighborhoods and stopped at a Cafe du Monde for a beignet. This is an excellent local small business! I highly recommend the tour and the company.”
