My brother and I drove from Houston to Nola. The construction on the first 8 miles into Louisiana made an 5 1/2 hr trip 8 hrs. Note to Paul: The welcome sign on both sides is MIA because of this as the Texas one is still up and easy to spot. Anyway, having this tour on our first day was such a needed, refreshing and welcomed experience to counter the drive. For one, you don't have to drive. Two, you will get a timely pick-up with all the information you need to navigate around. We appreciated that and all the jokes. It was as if we were visiting with a good friend. It gave us confidence to venture out and navigate around. For those who may not know if your street is missing a sign look down on the corner the name is there. That saved us every time. Also, if your on the tour record what you can so you can go back. It makes a return trip that much easier and Paul doesn't mind 😁. He's worth the booking and you will see a lot in 2 hrs. Thank you, see ya again maybe next year.

We were with two friends who had never been to the Big Easy. This was a pleasant tour, but the guide was very adamant he only gives facts, no ghosts etc. Made the tour a little dry as it felt as if being read and all of us were quite honestly a little bored. He drove you around to each area and provided info about each spot. Unfortunately, a couple of the cemeteries are closed so we couldn't go in but that's not the guide's fault. Guide was frequently commenting that his business relies on 5 star reviews. So you can make your own assumptions about that. His vehicle is a Rav4 and only fits 4 people, 3 in the back. He's upfront about that. Two of us are on the smaller side, but that back seat was quite close. A bigger vehicle would have been more comfortable unless there are only three of you. We did not get out of that cramped car to wande each area, but I guess he does say its a driving tour. We did 6 tours while we were there and this one fell at #5. It's adequate for an overview of the city.

Paul was such a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable on all of NOLA and made the tour interesting and fun! He made us laugh and we had a great time!

Rebecca_G

Paul made our first day in New Orleans so memorable! This is a man who loves his native city. Knowledgeable, funny, polite and so invested in ensuring we had an incredible day. Paul come visit us in PA whenever you want!

Gabrielle_G

Really enjoyed this. Recommend the VIP as the smaller group dynamic made for a more personalized experience (and a good way to meet some new people if that's your thing).

Butch_P

We had a great tour and saw a lot of New Orleans we’d never seen before on other trips. He gave us lots of info as well as seeing some of the best of the best - highly advise this private tour if you are not a larger group than he can take in his vehicle

Lauren_K

Paul was a fantastic guide - you can tell from the moment he introduced himself he loves this city and wants you to love it too. He shared so much about each area and really took his time explaining the history and significance of each area. He made sure we had dining and entertainment mapped out for the remainder of our trip. We took all of his suggestions and had a blast.

A good trip thru the city, showing what the WHOLE city feels like. Yes, French Quarter was covered, but real, local neighborhoods... Passing by schools and grocery stores, driving on side streets and boulevards. He's a lifer, a local, and will respond if you have questions. I asked a specific question and he changed plans on the spot to fit it into the journey.

Uncle Paul took us (my 8yo son, 5yo daughter and myself) on a driving tour around NOLA. I was so impressed with his ability to curate the tour to the kids. They learned so much more than I expected and were telling our friends and family all about it when we got home. I loved how he pointed out kid friendly places for them to connect to on the tour-a beautiful library for a school, stop at the playground, playing at the big oak trees and so much more. He went above and beyond when he was getting my daughter excited about the playground and went down the slide himself. :) I didn't expect them to really hold onto much of the info from that day b/c we fit a lot in but I can tell they really were listening and absorbing so much of what Paul spoke about. I think in part b/c of his delivery but also b/c of his warm, friendly demeanor. He really knows his stuff and is a genuinely kind person to meet who loves his city. Super recommend to all.
