I attribute this to our guide. She had great information about the city and its history and she interjected some humor. Honestly she made the entire tour well worth it. This is a great tour if you want to really see the quarter and learn about New Orleans and its history. I would highly recommend this tour. 2010-05-25 , We had a fantastic afternoon touring the French Quarter. I attribute this to our guide.

Very interesting! 2009-08-17 Nelda D, United States of America I really enjoyed the guides explanation of the French Quarter. Very interesting! 2009-08-17 Emede C , USA This was a good tour, but the guide was a little slow. I was expecting more history and unknown-to-the-general-public kinds of facts. The best part was the opportunity to tour the Ursuline Convent, which I would never have discovered on my own. The tour was definitely worth doing, but by the time I took the tour, I had found most of the places on my own. 2011-03-22 Mary B. G , This was an interesting tour although a guide seemed to have trouble keeeping up her energy level. I have taken the walking tour with the Friends of the Cabildo and found it to be more interesting. 2010-03-05 Lauren H , USA This was an interesting tour although a guide seemed to have trouble keeeping up her energy level.
