We did the tour of the French Quarter on a Saturday afternoon. Despite the rainy weather, we had an enjoyable time learning the history and intrigues of the area. Our guide, Kate, was entertaining and informative, displaying a clear passion for New Orleans. She answered a range of questions and recommended food and entertainment options. This tour is highly recommended... More

One of our favorite things to do on vacation is to take walking tours. We lucked out while we were in New Orleans. While staying in the Garden District, we accidentally happened upon Sarah's tour; she warmly invited us to join. Lucky for us, it happened to be the best walking tour we've ever had. She was knowledgeable, lively, and... More

Maggie did such a great job on our cemetery and garden district tour!! She was funny and informative. We also did a pay tour, and it was a complete bust. This tour is free, so bring her a big tip - it's worth it! More

We took the Garden District tour on a "cool" Sunday morning. Our guide, Denver, knew the neighborhood, was ready with answers to most questions (and admitted when he didn't know), and made the tour a great time for us. We were lucky and Lafayette Cemetery was open even though it was a Sunday - it's closed most Sundays. If it... More

I had some friends come to New Orleans for the day and they wanted to tour the French Quarter but not spend all day doing it. This tour hit the top spots and gave you information to seek out your specific interests on your own after the tour. It was entertaining and informative even for someone who lives in the... More

I was fortunate to be part of the very first ghost tour with guide Kate. she was very informative, funny and a great leader. The tales accompanying the houses are truly haunting. I only wish I had another day to go back around & take pictures of the sights; as it got darker, I had trouble getting enough light for... More

My friend and I loved the two 'Free Tours by Foot' tours we went on this past weekend - the Garden District tour with Sarah, and the French Quarter tour with Kate. Both Sarah and Kate were not only interesting, but they weren't afraid to give us their own personal take on a city they both clearly love. And they... More

Sarah took us through the Garden District and the Lafayette Cemetery. It was a full and interesting tour with lots of personal anecdotes about New Orlean history and lore. Learned lots also about the Creole people and the historical and on going effect they have in the area. Would definitely recommend it to any first time NO visitor. More
