Roger did an outstanding job of relating the city's history and answering multiple questions. He was a fantastic guide.

I took this tour in 2018 and had a fantastic guide, who told the story of the city and its rich culture through the architectural styles in the Quarter, Today unfortunately our guide was not so great. Our guide did not have a good command of basic facts (such as the year of the Louisiana Purchase) and often referred to “the old days” instead of giving the context of a particular decade or even century. Plenty of gossipy anecdotes, but that felt like a pretty light meal given the feast I’d had in 2018.
