Excellent guide Angie, was an expert in the history of the garden district. Angie was very personable and helpful providing insights and local knowledge. She was our guide for the French quarter as well. Highly recommended. Steven was helpful arranging a suitable time for us. We were sent a text the day before each tour reminding us of our meeting place and time. Great communication in advance by telephone as well.

We had a wonderful tour with Harris last week on Wednesday morning. He had the perfect balance of humor, knowledge of architecture, celebrity, and history. He presented the history in a very balanced way that made me more curious and wanting to learn more. After the tour -and without asking- he sent us info on further reading we could do and a list of all of our stops. If I returned to New Orleans I would look him up and try to take more tours with him. GREAT!
