This will be a short review but we spent three hours on a Saturday morning on December 23 with Dom. We learned and and saw an immense amount and actually feel like it could be done all over again.

Christmas in New Orleans has become a destination for many families. People often think New Orleans is an adult town, but find that we are more family-oriented than expected, particularly during all holidays. Thanks for selecting me to be your guide. Dominick
