We enjoyed hearing about these stately homes and gardens and we learned a lot about the architectural and historical influences of these elegant structures. Josh was an informative guide who loves his work (and it shows!) An important aspect of our guide was how well he related to the group. We had a very positive experience!

Thanks for this lovely review! A good tour guide is knowledgeable about his or her subject, but a GREAT tour guide is also engaging and helps their guests make significant connections to the subject - and Josh is a great guide. He is just generally a pleasant fellow who is funny and courteous and knows a TON about New Orleans. I am so happy you enjoyed your time with us, and I hope you tour with us again next time you are in the city. Libby

Josh did a great job, knowledgeable and friendly. Learned lots of history and where to eat, drink and enjoy music! Definitely a great way to start our New Orleans visit!
