Michaela was so knowledgeable and fun! I booked the tour to help a friend learn more about the city on his first trip to New Orleans. I can’t wait to book other tours the next time I’m in town. You will not be disappointed! Even if you’ve been to New Orleans before, you will learn so much more with Michaela’s tours.

The tour with Michaela was a pleasure from booking to finish. She is very knowledgable and passionate about her city of New Orleans. We covered a lot, but never felt rushed. Michaela touched on New Orleans past and current history, vibrant culture and lifestyle. We appreciated her perspective on the past and future changes in her city. Michaela was punctual, her vehicle was clean, comfortable and luxurious. Michaela is a warm, vibrant person and a pleasure to be with.
