Randy was such an excellent tour guide! Was very knowledgeable and kept us intrigued. We even went home and watch the Jersey shore ghost tour (lol)

Thank you so much for your review. But, we don't talk about that show in the office :D I am happy that you had an excellent time.

I took a tour with Mike and absolutely loved it. I learned so much about the culture and history of the French district. Mike is a walking encyclopedia and was so knowledgeable. It was just me and one other person so it almost felt like a private tour. 100% recommended especially with Mike. Incredible guy with a ton of stories! Side note, we ended up the tour at Cafe Du Monde and I didn’t realize that it is a cash only establishment. The other woman on the tour gave me $20 to buy beignets and a coffee. While this has nothing to do with the tour, I was touched and thankful for the good people in this world and wanted to recognize that.

We thoroughly enjoyed our French Quarter by Night tour with Karen. I’ve lived in NOLA for over 25+ years and I learned so much about the French Quarter! If you want to learn about the history, architecture, culture and people that made the French Quarter what it is today, I highly recommend this tour. As an added bonus, Unique NOLA tours keeps the groups small and intimate so we had plenty of time to talk and ask questions with Karen. She’s great …personable, superbly knowledgeable, and made the tour fun! 10/10
