Exceptional tour of an historical gem with Robin

The Garden District tour with Robin was a highlight of our recent trip to New Orleans. Knowledgeable about the history and architecture of this historical gem, she gave an amazing walk that included the homes of present and past residents from Jefferson Davis to Ann Rice. In addition to all we learned , she took great care of us , and referred to us as “family”which is how we all felt . Do not miss the tour!

Poor customer service by cancelling less than 1 hour before

This tour company cancelled the tour 54 minutes before the start of the tour due to low attendance. They called me 54 minutes before the start. This is horrible. Luckily some other tour company took pity on us. Honestly did they not know there was low attendance 24 hours ahead. If I’m required to give 24 hour notice to cancel so should the tour company.
