I learned a lot about NOLA, the gentleman conducting the tour was well educated regarding the city history.
We had Gary for our guide and he did a marvelous job of not only showing us the city but explaining Hurricane Katrina to us and showing us the devastation that he caused.
Our driver was Gary who made this voyage a terrific one! He’s a real history buff and he was very informative. He made us all feel comfortable and made sure we were engaged at all times. I would highly recommend his tour!
A wonderful tour...with pick-up /drop-off service! Deb was so knowledgeable...seemed she had a tid-bit of local info for every street/highway we traveled and for many buildings we passed. Loved the stop for the "House that Katrina devastated" along with Deb's narration of the Katrina events and timeline, the Storyville neighborhood story, the cemetery stop and history. It was All good and a very worthwhile afternoon...made us love New Orleans!
Really enjoyed the 3 hour tour which hit the highlights of the city. Gary the driver was a great mix of entertaining and informative. I highly recommend.
I attended with my parents who are nearing 70. We had a great time and the trip was both informative and beautiful. The driver/host was very entertaining. I highly recommend, especially if you choose the morning when the sights are probably less crowded.
Tour was good. Our guide Oreal was great. Was disappointed that I left something on the bus and called immediately to tell them. They promised to return it to my hotel. Called 3 times but never got it back. Was a water bottle holder the had a zipped compartment with money in it
My husband and I really enjoyed seeing New Orleans and learning all abut the area! Our tour guide was funny and so informative. We will be back!
Gary our tour guide and driver was fantastic at providing background and information on all of New Orleans during our tour in a humorous way. He took us thru history and thru the various levels of Katrina devastation causing the group to pause and internalize what really happened. in the end he brought the tour to a high note with positive facts on what is happening in NOLA and adjusted his schedule to drop group members off at various points and provided places to visit. His recommendation for Sazarac at Cane and Table was spot on and we will be visiting again . Thank you Gary for an afternoon well spent. You maybe too delicate for roofing jobs but you are certainly the best at this tour guide gig. Thanks again
Good tour a lot of information there was 6 of us and we thought our tour guide was excellent we enjoyed the hole trip
Gray k was tour guide for this trip n his sense of humor kept that 3 hour trip very entertaining. Since it was raining, this trip was worth as it was really not required to be out for long time
Our driver, Gary, was a wealth of experience as a native of NO, not to mention a history major in college. This tour was very interesting, relaxing, entertaining, and left us with many great recommendations on what we want to do, see and eat while here in NO.
Really loved hearing about the history of the areas we visited and seeing all the buildings. It was also good to hear about how the city has recovered since Hurricane Katrina. All in all it was a good tour and ws would recommend it.
My wife and I wanted 2 get a feel for the city’s neighborhoods and hot spots, and this tour was a great way 2 start our 3-day visit. The passion and love that our guide Gary has 4 the city was infectious. Really helped us understand the city and id cool things 4 the rest of our stay.
The driver/guide was very knowledgeable. Tour was full of information about the city, its history and its physical makeup. Information on Katrina was particularly interesting. Only negative was very late pickup at our hotel.
