Located on the downtown side of Jackson Square, they offer walking tours of the quarter. The tours include complimentary tickets to the Cabildo and a tours of two houses. It is a very good value. Our guide was as local as could be, and her family was obviously devoted to the preservation of New Orleans. It was like getting shown around town by a particularly interesting friend.

Actually never got on a tour because when we showed up at the museum meeting spot at the appointed time, the woman working that day told us they were not giving tours due to the French quarter festival in the city. However, the way she said it was, "it's obvious that we can't give a tour today". While we understand that the crowds that day were out of the ordinary, the website states the precise times of available tours and it should have been updated if the company wasn't going to be able to offer the tour that day. Also, after being greeted so rudely by the woman at their shop, we noticed a sandwich board sign just outside their doorway stating, "French quarter walking tours today at 10:30 & 1:30." So, why did the sign indicate a tour was available? We decided to bring this matter to the woman's attention and this time she actually shooed us out of the store with a swipe if her hand! How rude can you be? How about a more appropriate response such as, "I'm so sorry we won't be able to offer a tour as planned today due to the large crowds, we hope you will be able to come back another day." Well Friends of the Cabildo, we were able to arrange a wonderful walking tour of the French Quarter that day with a company called Free Tours By Foot and the guide was wonderful and informative and was able to navigate thru the crowds with ease. We also saw another company giving tours that day as well, so you missed the boat and in the process treated your potential customers extremely inappropriately.

We are sorry you had the experience you did. French Quarter Fest is an extremely busy time of the year, but we have responded to your comments to ensure that an issue like this doesn't happen again.

My husband & I took the Friends of the Cabildo tour of the French Quarter on 4/2/14. It was one of the most informative & entertaining tours of any city that we have ever taken. Robi was our guide & he could have kept us interested in New Orleans history for an entire day - the 2 hours just seemed to fly by - it was not enough time. We especially liked the fact that our guide was a volunteer & that our ticket 'monies' are used to help support the exhibits at the Louisiana museums. We highly recommend this tour.
