During my first visit to New Orleans, I was looking for a tour that would encapsulate the city’s rich and compelling history and culture. The Celebrations Tours van drive throughout the city, led by the terrific Teddy, delivered.
Literally and figuratively, we covered a lot of ground in the three-hour journey — including the French Quarter, the riverfront, the Ninth Ward, the lakefront, Metairie and the Garden District.
Teddy, a New Orleans native, was a top-class tour leader. He provided an in-depth and engaging summary of all the neighborhoods and sites we visited. He also narrated the impact of Katrina in vivid detail.
In addition, he was a gracious and welcoming tour guide and shared some great stories about his own upbringing in the city.
I emphatically recommend this tour.
