Kindrell was amazing! One of THE BEST tour guides in all of New Orleans. My friends and I had traveled to New Orleans for the first time and Kindrell picked us up in front of our hotel. His van was very clean and didn’t smell. He kept the temperature pleasant for us.
Our tour was to the Oak Alley Plantation and a swamp tour. As we drove down to the plantation, he educated us with the rich culture of New Orleans. As we drove by certain buildings and landmarks, he would explain the history of the culture of New Orleans. In his explanation, he joked around and made us laugh. He kept us entertained with showing us some pictures in the car which explained catastrophes that had happened to New Orleans, such as hurricane Katrina. As we drove over the highway that was flooded he showed us a picture. It really put things in perspective.
As we drove to the plantation, he told us about the creole people and the food that they would eat he recommended some restaurants and food to try. Once we got to the plantation, he told us tips to make our visit there more efficient and fun. He provided us with some water and took some pictures for us.
Then we went to the swamp tour and on our way there, we actually saw some gators along the side of the road to which he would stop so that we could actually see the gators.
He texted me a listing of restaurants and after our trip, we tried a couple of the places that he recommended. One of the places that he recommended was a local joint and it wasn’t in the French Quarter so we really felt that we were getting authentic New Orleans style charred oysters! We would have never found this place if it wasn’t for his recommendation.
I would recommend Kindrell on your next tour of the city! You can’t go wrong because he is so knowledgeable and entertaining.
