Very interesting and captivating - Our guide Kevin gave us a very interesting tour of the French Quarter. It was incredibly interesting. Just if you are going to walk in the heat during the day, do not forget hats and plenty of water to enjoy everything.

Great walking tour even with the rain - The tour was full of stories and history by our guide Kyran. Very knowledgeable. Even it was raining, we had the chance to understand Louisiana, New Orleans and the French Quarter origins and history through its architecture. Well worth the money.

Highly recommend - My tour guide, Mark, was both knowledgeable and personable. The amount of walking for a two hour tour was very manageable and left me well oriented to wonder the French Quarter alone without getting lost. The museum house was beautiful and the ladies working were super sweet as well. Thank y'all for a wonderful day!

Fun walking tour - Katie was delightful! It was a bit toasty on the 10:30am tour but she was extremely thoughtful and kept us in the shade and indoors as much as possible. She was very knowledgeable and we learned some fun and interesting facts about the architecture and rich history!
