We had another great tour with Josh as our guide. Josh also was our guide for the French Quarter tour when we did that tour earlier in the week. His knowledge of the history of New Orleans is second to none, and his manner and delivery are excellent. We would highly recommend Josh. The two hours flew by, as they did on the other tour, which is testament to the enjoyment we had on both tours. Thanks Josh and Luck Beans Tours! Pete & Jo

Lucky you! You got Josh on two tours! Josh's tours are the perfect balance of thorough research and storytelling ability, and he and his guests always have a great time. He is always learning more about the city and never grows tired of sharing it in his friendly, dryly humorous manner. I hope you are able to come back and tour with Lucky Bean Tours again. Thank you for taking the time to review! Libby

He really knows how to entertain his guests while giving them an unforgettable, authentic New Orleans experience. And if you think dull moments are boring for guests, they are absolute torture for the guides! Lucky Bean Tours has a strict No Dull Moments policy and so far we haven't had any violations.
