French Quarter Phantom tour. Our tour guide Justin led a walking tour loaded with stories of history and local lore. It was funny and tied into local customs and sights. It was probably the best walking tour we had in a long time even in other cities. This guy is a Walking encyclopedia of information. He knows so much more than he can even mention in the time allotted. And if he does not know an answer to your question, he will say that he doesn’t know that instead of weaving a line made-up of half-truths. He has talents in performance and artistic drawing as well. We enjoyed this tour that described voodoo in New Orleans and history of the French Quarter. Would recommend. As an aside, we thought the hurricane that was buy one get one free did not taste as liberal of a pour that we can get at another bar. Our tour was in the morning. Maybe the drinks are more generous in the later day.

Our tour guide when genuinely passionate and so knowledgeable. Justin even went out of his way to stay after to provide recommendations on food and experiences for my girlfriends 21st birthday. He was very considerate of a member of our tour group that struggled with walking and tried to find places they could rest. 10/10 would book with Justin again!
