    It was a small group and the guide made it a very special and interesting tour. There was no rush and he was very knowledgeable about the city and the area.

    I did both the Garden District and French Quarter tours. Both were phenomenal! They were easy to book on line in advance and was contacted via email and from the tour guides prior to meeting. Both guides, Muriel and Dave, were beyond great! I learned a ton, got some insights about local places, and got to experience New Orleans from their perspective. Each tour was approximately 2 hours and well worth the money!

    Our guide , Frank Currie, was a former university professor and his family goes back 8 generations to the New Orleans area. It seemed like he knew everybody that ever owed any of the houses in the Garden district. His knowledge of the history of the homes, architecture, culture and plants in the area was amazing. There were only 4 people in our tour group so it was like a private tour. Only negative is maybe don't do this tour in the afternoon on the hottest day of the year. Still had a great time.

    Dave was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the Garden District and the architecture. We were shown so many unique and beautiful homes. We didn't get to go inside Lafayette Cemetery because of restoration work, but Dave took us to the gate and still told us everything about the burials. Highly recommend!

    Frank Currie was an amazing tour guide. I came away with a huge appreciation for the history of the area, the architecture and fascinating gossipy snippets of various old homes history. He is a fount of knowledge and passes it on in an interesting and engaging way. My favorite tour of the trip - was even planning to cancel it but more than happy I didn't. Thank you so much I'd recommend to anyone!

    Dave was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. We were fortunate to have perfect weather. Be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes, streets and sidewalks are very rough!

    We toured the Garden district with Randy. He did a masterful job working around the cemetery closure and made us understand and appreciate not only the recent history of the area but what happened as the area was settled. His personal connection to the area added extra color. He was a masterful story teller but also a scholar who knew his history. A well spent afternoon!
