This was such a great tour! I feel like we learned more about Hurricane Katrina than the news ever talked about. He explained life after the storm and what it took to recover. Also, what's been done post, Katrina. He explains everything so well that it really gives you an up close view of the biggest natural disaster in United States history. Save your money on other tours. This guy will knock all those off in one custom experience. You go for Katrina education and leave with an upclose view of it all, but you also get to see the most beautiful cemetery (because his family is actually in there..true local!) the garden district and so much more! This tour is worth every penny! 10/10 recommend you booking now so you can catch him on your next vacation!
