We were looking for a shorter tour that would fit into our schedule and this was great! Dave was such a great tour guide. He took you to more than just the expected tourist locations in NOLA. You can tell how much he cares for his city and really loves to share it's great culture with everyone. He took us... More

This tour gives you a little of everything - from the most visited area French Quarter(Bourden street) to the ninth ward and city park. The tour guide (Billy) was very informative about the people and happenings in the area and was able to suggest many places to visit(really like his suggestions). He was able to bring to life his experiences... More

We wanted to see a large portion of the city, being that we're in town for the Jazzfest and seeing the city would be limited. Our tour was very informative and personal. The flood devastation was numbing. You really get to see what really was and is happening to rebuild. The cemetery and park stops were nice to break up... More

First off, I am not into, what I like to call "old-people tours." I'd rather go out and explore on my own. That being said, for what this is, it is a great bargain. Our tour guide was very informative and he was very, very passionate about his city. Pointed out many things we wouldn't have known just by exploring... More

The tour was excellent, our guide was personable, informative, and clearly in a lifetime love affair with the Crescent City. Our story, tho, is about extraordinary customer service. We called the company office after office hours in search of a lost cell phone. Getting no answer from the main phone line, in desparation, I punched in on the "Accounting" line.... More

The tour was great. Our tour guide grew up in the Big Easy and had many stories to tell. Thisw tour also went to the musicians park and area that was rebuilt for the many musicians in NOLA. The ony downside of the tour is that the windows on the van were not big enough.

Took the tour while I was in New Orleans for a conference. Jerry was a really good ambasador of NOLA and provided good commentary. Saw the areas of NOLA that I was interested in seeing including the Katrina sites (Lower 9th Ward). Didn't get to see the "Brad Pitt" homes as there was new rules about tour busses in that... More

My first time every taking a "city tour" of any kind in any city, but since we were only here for 3 days, we wanted to see more than just the French Quarter. This tour company was recommended by the concierge at our hotel, and it did not disappoint. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, which... More

We have seen NOLA once or twice, but never in this light. Billy was awesome, hilarious and knowledgeable! We really enjoyed it and will do this again, only if... More

Let me start by saying that Billy was an excellent tour guide. We did the tour on the morning of a marathon in New Orleans. Billy explained this to all on the bus and promised to do his best to show us "his" city of New Orleans. As Billy navigated the city avoiding the marathon crowds, he pointed out places... More
