Awesome tour! Libby was extremely knowledgeable. A local who loves her city! Very casual and not rehearsed. She answered all of our questions thoroughly. A true steward of her city.

It was so cold! Thank you for your review. It is exactly what I want to hear. We started Lucky Bean Tours so that we could give unscripted, interesting tours to small groups of interested people. And people really appreciate it! See y'all next time!

David is a diligent researcher and never stops searching for the best stories from our history. He has worked hard to understand the shifts American culture that have affected New Orleans and is excellent at passing along what he has learned. I'm glad you could tour the Garden District with him and hear his stories. Thank you for your review!

Thank you! Suzanne definitely has a genuine fascination with New Orleans (especially our history) and does a great job sharing it with her guests! You should try her original Women's History tour next time!
