Guy and Doug were outstanding guides for my group of about 25 friends in mid-November. We got lucky with fantastic weather, but their combined insights and natural storytelling talents are what made it really memorable. Highly recommend their tours.

Guy was a wonderful tour guild and we appreciated the sincerity with which he explained the cultural history and context surrounding the buildings we were viewing. If we come back to NOLA we will absolutely book one of their other tours. This was our favorite activity of the trip.

Very interesting, informative, and fun. Our guide, Guy, was very engaging and knowledgeable. I’ve been to New Orleans many times, but learned more in this 2 hour tour than I did from all my other visits combined.
