Great way to spend an evening - It was a fun way to visit the French quarter and get a little history. The guide was great (Adalai sp?) and made the event entertaining while using her own experiences from growing up locally to add color.

Worth learning about - Pepe was great. I appreciate him giving us the history of new orleans and being down to earth. Giving us the history known in New Orleans which is heavily linked to slave trade, how the art of voodoo began which has been heavily misunderstood due to Hollywood. The story of Madame Laveau what is known in New Orleans compared to what you find online. The impact of pirates. It was a fun and educational tour. This is my third time with different tour guides and this has my approval

Amazing experience with Erin - Erin was absolutely amazing and had a refreshingly blunt and respectful perspective. Patient, knowledgable, and witty, tour guides could go to her ted talk
