First of all, and my son and I booked this walking tour we had already read the reviews and they were all excellent! Everyone had mentioned the guide, “Geordi” (Pronounced Jor-Dee) as being a wonderful guide. Now of course, I wanted Geordi as our guide, but I knew it wasn’t a guarantee.
When we arrived at our meeting spot for the 10:30 AM tour, It was a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the mid 60s. How could this begin any better? Well it did! This young man called out My son’s name (as he is the one that booked the tour) in a cheery tone with a big smile. It was Geordi!
It was a fantastic tour. Geordi is very knowledgeable about the area which is drenched in history. He has a gift of captivating the group with loads of trivia, and plentiful intriguing facts, some that may not be in history books! He has a wonderful sense of humor, matched with a very caring and attentive demeanor.
There was a total of six people in our group, and Geordi made sure we were all taken care of ie: stopping for bathroom breaks and being very patient with me😉who frequently lagged behind to take pictures! Geordi is not only a superb guide, he is also a great human! The end of our tour it was lunchtime and we had worked up a good appetite. Geordi was very generous with his time, helping us to learn about the local restaurants in the French Quarter. After listening to his recommendations we finally narrowed it down to a great choice, Amen Street Fish and Raw Bar. Then we went across the street to Carmella‘s café and dessert bar, and got some treats to take home!
I highly recommend this tour with Geordi!! In my opinion, I think Geordi absolutely makes the tour!

Thank you for booking the French Quarter Walking tour. Happy to read that you took the locals' favorite, Amen Street, recommendation after such a positive experience in the original walled city area. Hope to see you out and about again in the Holy City!
