Our tour was fabulous from the moment we met Quay!! As a local, we went to so many places and saw so many other important landmarks and spaces than we would have! He is so brilliant and a talented musician so had great knowledge of New Orleans history ! Lovely afternoon! Thank you so incredibly much for sharing your space with us!! Highly recommend!!!

We booked this tour in advance before going to NOLA. It was cancelled at 10:30 at night the night before with only an email. No text, no phone call. We went to the meeting point before we realized it was cancelled. There was no attempt to get us on another tour. I would not book this until I knew there was a backup plan for another tour. This tour was supposed to be the jumping off point for our entire trip, but instead we lost 1/2 to 3/4 of a day trying to regroup and figure out alternatives and we never did get our whole city tour as the other options were booked. You have to cancel 24 hours in advance, but they can cancel on you last minute! Would not recommend. Very disappointed.

Had a great time with Quay. We went with him upon our arrival to NOLA for our first visit. We wanted a general tour of the city get get some history and understanding. Quay delivered. He knew a great deal of the city, was very friendly and catered the tour what what we requested…even adjusted the hours at our request. We went on several tours, and we all agreed Quay was at the top of the list.

We highly recommend New Orleans tour guide Quay Frazier. We hired him for a 4-hour private car tour of NOLA, and it was an outstanding experience. Quay asked us what we’d most like to see, and he customized our tour to incorporate our interests. We appreciated his easy-going style and deep knowledge of the city’s history, and we especially enjoyed learning about the musical history of NOLA as Quay himself is a musician. We also liked that Quay knew where to stop for memorable pictures and took photos of us. We would tour with him again and will be recommending him to anyone looking for a great tour experience in NOLA.

Quay is a knowledgeable and friendly Tours Guide! He was very amendable to our wishes, and was able to tell us things that we never would have known!This tour was above and beyond our expectations!!!

We learned some really interesting things and got to see parts of New Orleans that aren’t usually discussed. Adjustments were made according to what we were interested in seeing. Fantastic day!! Highly recommend this tour.

Quay’s knowledge of New Orleans culture and history was extensive and diverse. His inside knowledge, from a musician’s perspective, was also unique and fun to observe. His pleasant demeanor, sense of humor, flexibility on itinerary, not to mention excellent driving skills made for an amazing experience!… oh, and the stop for beignets was a delicious bonus 😊

Quay was awesome! Very informative and pleasant. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon. Writing more words now to get to 100 characters.

Quay was very knowledgeable and energetic. We enjoyed the trip. Perfect for teens. I recommend for any family that wants a good overview of NOLA.

Our tour was canceled the night before our early morning meet up time. No explanation and didn’t get the email notice until we arrived at our meet up destination. Unreliable. Reservation was made over 2 weeks before the excursion was planned so plenty of time to notify us ahead of time.
