The stories and history...

The stories and history was interesting but the sightseeing was less than stellar. We spent longer than I would have liked in the cemetary and cafe du monde. Our guide did a nice job. The tour itself could be reworked.

Great overview of NOLA!

Cynthia and Aaran were fantastic! We were in an air conditioned van (can’t imagine doing a walking tour in this heat!) and really felt like we got to see an learn more about the city this way. Cemetery, history, great neighborhoods… more than we expected. Highly recommend.

Cynthia’s Amazing Tour

This was a part of my younger brother’s 40th birthday trip to Nee Orleans. He and I along with our cousin throughly enjoyed the trip. The tour guide was exceptional and the driver was kinda cute. The tour guide Cynthia was a font of knowledge that flowed seamlessly from one location to the other. I loved that she was open to questions and infused her local experiences with the tour. I took notes and adopted a plan to always do a tour first whenever I visit a city. You see so much and can really get a sense of the places you want to visit from the tour. It was great, Informative and entertaining. The air condition was also very helpful. This was definitely a highlight.

New Orleans, Louisiana City Tour

Cynthia was a great guide on our tour of New Orleans, LA!!! Very knowledgeable about the entire history of the city, spoke about her own experiences as a resident of NOLA, pointed out small details anyone would miss if they didn’t take this tour of the city!!! Carl was an excellent driver throughout this busy city!!!
