We had a great time! Our tour guide Yvonne was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much about New Orleans that we would have never learned without having done a lot of research ourselves.

Our guide was a wealth of information! So many little hidden treasures about the city! I think I could take this tour with different guides and have a wealth of information! It intrigued me to learn even more.

Peak was an amazing guide. She was knowledgeable and entertaining, provided answers to questions as they arose and shared many interesting stories about the culture, traditions and history of the French quarter. We highly recommend you choose to explore and learn about the French Quarter with Peak or one of her colleagues. Of note the group was 11 people (30 + signed up but they had 3 guides so everyone was in a small group

Yvonne is awesome! She is extremely well versed, has a great sense of humor and is passionate and enthusiastic! We really appreciated her local, home town insight!

None. Too much history. I'd rather have a mix of info- history, architecture, culture, the voodoo, vampire background, Katrina, recent events.

We had a great time. Our guide was kind, had great energy and was well informed on the interesting history of the homes and people of the French Quarter. I learned many things I never would have even thought to ask about the beautiful historical architecture. The 2 hours flew. Great group activity for our friends. We all recommend! Happy we did it for sure.

We had Libby for our tour guide and she was awesome! There were a total of 8 people in our group so it was nice keeping it small..Libby started off asking any specific we wanted to see so she could include it in our tour. It was 2 hrs long. Not a lot of walking long distance but a lot of standing. Libby was so fun with her storytelling. She didn't get spout facts. We all really enjoyed her style making everything interesting. I'd definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about the history of New Orleans and the French Quarter.

Excellent guide who was able to tell us more of what we were interested in. Told us a great local "dive" spot for Po boys. She was absolutely great.
