Great tour, awesome guide! - Scott was an awesome tour guide. The is so knowledgeable about the city and its history. He has a true passion for New Orleans and you can feel that from his tours. My wife and I booked this tour and it ended up being us and another very friendly couple. Scott pointed out some very unique features of New Orleans that you can only get from someone who is invested in the culture and the city. From current day issues to past struggles, the tour was very informative. Zero pressure m, just listen and engage. This was the best thing that we have done on our trip so far. Thank you Scott!

Bring an umbrella - When they said walking tour, MAN DID WE WALK. Our trip got rockin and rollin day one in the city with this adventure. Met our guide Lesley who was a wealth of knowledge and humor. She knows these streets; it started pouring, like I mean raining CATS AND DOGS but she knew where all the cover was to keep seeing the highlights. My boy would’ve been all soggy if Les hadn’t put her full effort into keeping us dry. Docked a star because still not sure why the national WWII museum is in the big easy but some mysteries were never meant to be solved. Had a hoot and a half but man your dogs may be BARKIN by the time it’s done you’ll see everything ever.
