Thank you for this great review! James is very entertaining, and really understands New Orleans. Deep knowledge combined with a great storytelling style is the thing that makes our Lucky Bean guests love our tours, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to show off our beloved city to our guests. We look forward to touring with you next time you are in town!

Lucky Beans tours was awesome! Libby was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about New Orleans. She is a native to the city and three generations of her family have lived and thrived there. She spoke clearly, was able to answer all our questions and was prompt in her start and end times. We also were the only ones on the tour, so we had Libby all to ourselves which was awesome, esp as we saw huge groups of tours going by us with tour guides shouting so that everyone could hear. Our tour was intimate and fun! Thanks Libby!

We toured the Garden District with Libby of Lucky Bean Tours. She was excellent and amazingly knowledgeable! We couldn't believe how much she knew about the history of New Orleans and the Garden District - no question she couldn't answer! We really appreciated how she tied together the bigger economic history of the area to the homes we were viewing on the tour. She didn't walk too fast and it was not a strenuous walk (we are older folks). She really made the visit so much richer for us! Highly recommend her!

Thank you for reviewing! Reviews mean so much to this small business, and we deeply appreciate every single one. I love the Garden District for its beauty, but also for the larger story it tells about the development, downfall, and rebirth of New Orleans. I am glad we were able to walk and talk together. Please come back!
