Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about history, plants, celebrity residents, and architecture. She was funny and obviously enjoyed sharing her love of New Orleans. I also really enjoyed her detailed description of New Orleans burial customs My only suggestion would be that she talk a bit slower. My brain was having trouble hearing and keeping up with all the wonderful information. I wish there was a 4.5 rating. She deserves more than a 4. She received a nice tip. I would definitely encourage you to take this tour.
