    We took the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery Guided Walking tour with Randy and we lucked out by getting him!! We learned so much about the architecture of the district and history of the city. His humor was so appreciated and we had a great time laughing and learning for the two hours. A note from my husband: Don’t write off (W)Randy! He wryly wrangled our wriggling group of wretched, wrinkly wrecks past wrought iRon and wrest from us our wrongful misapprehensions of New Orleans history. Thanks so much Randy and have a happy birthday.

    The tour was great. I learned a lot about New Orleans from Randy. It was great to learn about the beautiful houses in the garden district.

    Orion was the best tour guide!! He was incredibly informative, approachable, and quirky in all the right ways. This man needs to write a book - he is so passionate about New Orleans history and landmarks and his passion was contagious- highly recommend! Also he brings cool fans and other trinkets to help make the walk more comfortable

    Dave Roberts was our guide and he was very friendly and informative. He made sure to find a shady spot for the group at each stop. I would highly recommend this guided tour

    Muriel was so knowledgeable and prepared! The Garden district is gorgeous and although we could not go into the cemetery, we could easily view the tombs and its beauty from the gate while Muriel had fantastic information and photos to help explain the burial process. All the landmarks we visited were fascinating. I enjoyed learning the different architectural styles and history of the homes. If you’re lucky enough to go while the confederate jasmine is blooming you’re in for a treat, it smells heavenly!
