My husband and I along with our late 20s sons truly enjoyed Andrew's tour. The fellows were talking about it all day and recommending it to their friends, not to mention posting on social media. We took notes and went back to several recommended sites and local spots. Overall a very positive experience.

The tour of New Orleans with Michaela is an absolute must-do. She is a 4th generation New Orleanian and is the real deal. She lives and breathes the city. She seemed to know everyone on the street which made the random historical and cultural tangents all the more interesting. She gives an in-depth background to NO but also gives you her own perspective about the many changes that have taken place there. Her van is very luxurious and comfortable and she was really flexible with timing for our group. At the rate she charges and for the quality of the tour, this is a bargain and can not be missed.
