My kids loved this! The guide was very knowledgeable and professional. She was very personable and when I told her my children’s father was creole, she made it a point to connect the tour to them. We will be doing more tours and I definitely recommend.

This was an amazing experience for our kids. The communication with location and information ahead of time was perfect. This tour kept our kids attention the entire time and our kids were taking about it all day long. It was very educational and we would highly recommend when visiting NOLA.

My 8 and 6 years old stayed engaged the entire time. All four of us learned interesting history of NOLA. Not as much walking as I expected (this was a good thing). I would highly recommend this tour. I wish I booked more tours through them.

I highly recommend this tour for kids. Our kids (12,10,8, and 6) all enjoyed it. Jill was very friendly, and interactive with the kids. We didn’t travel far on foot, but the time went by fast. After the tour she texted me with recommendations for both experiences and food for our vacation. This is worth the money.
