You're one Hell of a fool if you choose any other private tour provider. There is no need to continue searching. Pray that Michaela is available. She is the best! Michaela intimately shared her multi-generational love and knowledge of New Orleans with our family. We felt like New Orleanians by the end of the day. Thank you Michaela for a wonderful and memorable experience. Mike Lowry

I’ve been to New Orleans before but never saw it like this! Michaela showed us the French, Spanish and English architecture around uptown. The garden district homes are grand and amazing! But my favorite was the cute, little, colorful shotguns in the Irish Channel. She was a great guide! I will definitely try another tour with her again next time I visit New Orleans.
