I love my guests too! Thanks for making my job so fun, for touring, and for reviewing! I am so utterly fortunate to make a living showing off my beloved city! We're working on some more tours so we'll have even more stories to tell when you come back!

The Garden District tour was great and Libby, the tour guide, customized the tour based on my interests. Libby knows a lot about the history, architecture, tales and stories about New Orleans and the Garden District. I definitely recommend her tour!

We loved our tour of the Garden District! Libby was very informative and personable. She chose great places along the way and shared lots of interesting information as well answered our questions. We felt that we got so much more out of our trip to New Orleans by booking this tour.

Thanks, Jessica! I wish I could greet everyone right off the plane to give them tips on how to best experience New Orleans, but that would mean they wouldn't have the joy of discovering our culture (plus I don't really want to work at the airport). Please tour with Lucky bean next time!
