This walking tour with James was a highlight of our trip. He covered a good balance of topics - history, architecture, and present day - in an engaging way. I was surprised when it was time for the tour to end - two hours went by so quickly! It was a small group tour, only 8 people, which made it easy to ask questions.

We are so pleased that you decided to venture uptown to the lush, historic Garden District, and so grateful that you took the time to review your tour and help us get the word out to other guests who appreciate the blending of history, architecture, culture, and beauty.

What a great way to start our visit. James was so informative and funny. We learned a ton of the history of the area and saw beautiful houses, trees and gardens. He gave us tips for the rest of our visit as well. Highly recommend!!

Thanks for this great review of your Garden District tour with James! He is so funny, but he also knows a lot about that lovely historic neighborhood. The houses and gardens are photo-worthy on their own, but when you know the stories behind them, the place becomes so much more meaningful and memorable. Thanks for choosing us, and please walk with us another time! Libby

Josh was a great guide. Very patient and very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the city itself. He had great suggestions of things to do.

Thanks for this well- deserved great review of your French Quarter tour with Josh! He has such a friendly and easygoing manner, that he would probably be good at any job, but his vast knowledge and enthusiasm for New Orleans make him an amazing tour guide and I am so happy to have him here at Lucky Bean Tours. Thanks for choosing us to show you around, and I hope you had a great New Orleans experience. Libby
