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 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.

Quay was super nice and an amazing tour guide!!! He’s also absolutely insane at the saxophone and it was super fun playing with him.

Quay was an amazing tour guide and this tour was by far the best part of our trip to New Orleans! He really went above and beyond’s to personalize this private tour to show us parts and the city we hadn’t seen, and shared historical and cultural considerations that make New Orleans the amazing city that it is! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans!
