“This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I appreciated learning about the cemetery, but also about US and NOLA history, while being outside and getting some extra steps in. It was a perfect excursion. Easy to get to/walk to from within the French Quarter. Highly recommend.”

“This tour was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Angie, was wonderful. She was sweet and knowledgeable about the area, and able to answer all of our questions. We were incredibly lucky- I bought the tour at 7pm the night before, and we were the only ones on the tour. There wasn’t a ton of walking (the route covers a couple of blocks) but you have to stand and the sidewalks can be uneven.”

The following day we went back to a couple of the places to eat or purchase goods. Definitely do this tour if you know nothing of the local food and it is great to get Beth’s recommendations.”
