Jeremiah was our tour guide. He was very spirited and lively. A lot of knowledge and information about the history of the city. He gave the real story of Marie Laveau and dispelled the wrong notions of voodoo and it's practices. The tour started on Rampart and went all the way to Jackson Square. It ended at the street corner of the Ursuline Convent Museum which was practical for us since we had reservations for lunch near the area. I highly recommend this tour and Jeremiah.

Though the guide was knowledgeable, he spoke quite fast and was sometimes difficult to understand. He had a different sense of humor that we didn't follow sometimes. However, he knew his New Orleans history and lore.
