Fantastic. It’s a great walk filled with actual history, not touristy stories. Pepe had a great sense of humour, he is engaging and takes the time to get to know everyone.

Peppy was an amazing tour guide! His historical knowledge was a perfect blend of accurate and entertaining and his accommodations for everyone in the group was extremely considerate! We will definitely be looking to him for all future tours!

Pepe was the best tour guide. Not only was he very informative but very fun with the way he talks about french quarter history. I would recommend him to everyone who visits New Orleans and French Quarter Phantoms tours for a fun experience.
