An excellent walking tour of the French Quarter! Our guide, Arlene, was personable, knowledgeable, and she clearly loves her city. She painted a rich picture of New Orleans's history, pointed out the many facets of its architecture, patiently answered our questions and made sure her information was delivered in shady spots: in short, we could not have asked for a better guide. Of note is that Friends of the Cabildo is a not-for-profit organization: Arlene and her fellow guides are volunteers.
