Leanne was awesome! Her stories brought the tour to life. She shared all her local favorites with us. A great tour!

Leanne is a super star guide. She is knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans, in particular the French quarter. She is flexible when it comes to make changes, either planned ahead or spontaneous, that we asked for. She gave us useful tips around additional places or food to explore that we run out of time to explore with her. She made herself available to answer questions days after the tour we hired her for. Highly recommended!

Tour: Explore The Locals' Fren,... Date: Nov 22, 2019 Location: New Orleans, LA, United States Being the 6th generation New Orleaner, Leanne was not only knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans but she was full of passion as she shared with us everything we wanted to know about this place. She was extremely flexible with the itinerary for our private walking tour for a party of five according to our needs and even exceeded the tour time from 4 to 5 hours and left it to our discretion for the additional fee. Thank you, Leanne! Party of Five from Singapore & Seattle November 2019
