Traveler reviews
French quarter tour
Our guide was Henry who was phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the area. Kept us engaged with the stories of the history of the French quarter.
Omar is awesome!
We had Omar as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and had great information about local history.
Ask about a good guide to narrate the walk.
Hopefully the next group will have a better guide. Our guide spoke too quietly, did not keep us engaged and we left early due to the experience.
Superb tour of French quarter
Well narrated tour of the French quarter. 2 hours well spent. Our guide was super funny and knowledgeable, shared and showed some of the music origins from New Orleans.
Wish we could have experienced it!
We purchased this tour scheduled for 1:00, and arrived at 1:02 due to a wrong turn in getting there (and called to tell the operator we were going to be slightly late). We also received a text at 12:35 informing us that we needed to be there at 12:45 (this was the first time we had been given this information!) When we arrived at 1:02, we were told the tour had left 10 min prior (which was 8 min before it was advertised to begin). The employee refused to tell us which direction the tour had started in so that we could potentially catch up with them, and refused a refund.
