I am so glad that I came across Lucky Bean Tours during my stay here in New Orleans! James is so well educated on the history of the area and very easy to talk to! He made the entire tour interesting and went out of his way to explain not only the history of the area, but also what things are like around there present day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a credible tour guide! Jess

I am so glad that you enjoyed your walk through the beautiful Garden District with James. He definitely knows a lot, but he is also naturally funny and a gifted storyteller. Anyone can walk among the old tombs and elegant mansions and be impressed by their beauty, but walking with a good guide who knows the stories behind them makes the experience so much more rewarding and deepens your understanding of our unique culture. Please come back to New Orleans, and, now that you've discovered Lucky Bean Tours, let us walk with you again!

Thank you for reviewing your Garden District tour with James. He really is so funny and knowledgeable, and truly enjoys sharing his love for New Orleans history and culture with his guests. He spends his spare time wandering the cemeteries of New Orleans and talking to the people who work in them and he has become an expert on customs, symbols, and logistics surrounding our unique interment processes. But, he can always find the humor the interesting facts he uncovers. The result is a tour that truly is informative and entertaining. Thank you for touring with Lucky Bean Tours!
