Fascinating and Informative - Knowledgeable tour guide with a New Orleans flair. Many great stories and a history lesson of the city. Stopping along the way to show architectural styles, history of jazz, historical sites and points of interest. Adding to showing off the local version of Bourban St. Definitely take the full hour tour! Even the mule named Beignet showed her personality!
