My mother and father in law had an amazing experience with the tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and very well spoken. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. She took her time in talking about the history of New Orleans.

My wife and I were taking our 13 year old grandson to NOLA - his and my wife's first time there. We wanted him to learn about the area, but also have fun. We spent 6 hours together, got a great overview of the history, people, Katrina. and stopped for a terrific lunch. We have no problem recommending Cassandra as your guide!

We had a wonderful day with Cassandra touring the French Quarter by foot and in the car for most of the tour of the Garden District. We learned about the history of the area, the architecture, the music scene and other interesting facts that kept the parents and 2 twenty year old daughters entertained. Cassandra is passionate about her hometown and her because of her interesting background, she has a lot of fascinating information about NOLA. I highly recommend taking her tour!
