My guide was Michael Allison. He kept a doable pace and we still covered a lot. I was fascinated by his explanation of Micaela Pontaldo and how he showed us her cartouche on the wrought iron balcony railings - I love those details. He also showed us Antoine's wine cellar. It was stunning. I highly recommend his overview of the French Quarter and the details.

We were delighted with our tour and all that we learned. My daughter and I are visiting from CA. I’m a walking tour junkie. Edmond provided a local perspective and knowledge. His charm and insight provided a unique narrative. I highly recommend.

Fabulous tour today with James Derbes. My husband Matt and I are volunteer tour guides for SF City Guides, so we love history and had lots of questions. James was very knowledgeable and spend extra time with our small group so that we could complete all the stops. Would recommend this to others.

Mark was a great guide. Were lucky to have a very small group. Marc's tour was an informative mix of the history, culture and customs of New Orleans, He was very knowledgeable since he has lived in NOLA for many years. I would highly recommend this tour.

Judy took us all across the French Quarter from Joanie on a pony to the Supreme Court building & everywhere in between. She’s extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Quarter & can tell a great story. As we were a small group, if we saw something in a store we wanted to see, she indulged us for brief visits. It was the best, most fun history lesson I’ve ever gotten!
