Karen and Christine are amazing! As I am a history and cultural presenter Christine made the perfect suggestion for my tour. Sent me an amazing reading list, and Karen with her insider knowledge and keen eye for architecture really brought New Orleans to life. Great eating and shopping recommendations as well.

Kaffey was a great guide with tons of historical information about the French Quarter. It provided a whole other way of seeing New Orleans... not just a party town. The tour covered highlights in the French Quarter so you had an idea of places to come back to later. Was super great we had a small group.

Really enjoyed our French Quarter tour with Karen. She was loaded with great information, but at the same time just down to earth and easy going. Like a walk with a friend that just happens to know all you could want to know about the French Quarter. Hope you get to experience it too!

Great tour with Karen! She knew her stuff :)! Great personality that added to the tour as well. Was very knowledgeable and open to questions and comments! She kept us in the shade and AC as much as possible to avoid the crazy hot temps and humidity!

Karen was an excellent tour guide and spoke with a passion about her city and the history. She was thoughtful, and made sure we were comfortable at all times in the extreme heat. I loved her recommendations about things to do, and books to read. It wasn't so much a tour as it was walking around with a friend. I would rate this tour top notch, and would even do it again.

DeAnna is a dynamic tour guide! Her long family history in New Orleans gave me a much greater insight to the history of this fascinating city.

Christine was incredibly knowledgeable and quite personable. We've been to NOLA often, but this was our first tour. We learned about so many things that were in front of us for years. A fresh look at this wonderful city, highly recommend.
