I am so grateful that our guide, James, sent out a text the morning of our tour - so clever! My friend and I were running late and I was able to give him a heads up and make sure we knew where to catch up with the group if necessary. James was an absolute sweetheart and very personable and knowledgeable. After about a decade since my last trip to New Orleans, this ended up being a really great tour for getting reacquainted with the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery. And at the end James pointed out the VERY nearby Magazine Street, which was fantastic to finally get to check out! Really lovely afternoon with a great guide.

Thanks Tara! James really enjoys showing our guests around the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery. I'm glad that you chose Lucky Bean Tours to help you get re-acquainted with this jewel of a neighborhood, and I'm glad you were able to take in Magazine Street. Please come again!

Josh was out guide and was very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The walking tour is a perfect way to see the sights. I will be using them next time I am in the area.

Thank you for reviewing! We are looking forward to seeing you next time, as we are constantly learning more stories about this unique place and we love sharing them. There is no better way to really understand the culture of a place than to start walking and talking, and that's what we do!

Our tour with Libby was like spending a couple of hours with an upbeat friend– who is also a well-informed and articulate history buff. If you enjoy a thorough overview and get really juiced-up hearing relevant asides and details, this tour is for you. Two hours zipped by!

Upbeat, well-informed, and articulate! My high school speech team coach would be proud! Thank you for such an inspiring review. You are helping Lucky Bean with your praise, as well as the city in general by providing us with the opportunity to continue to share the stories of New Orleans with visitors. Please come again for some more relevant asides and details!
