Our walking tour of the French Quarter with affable volunteer Don N. may be the best tour I have ever taken. Of anything. Ever! Don was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and good-humored. Everything he told us was engaging and fascinating. Yes, all those ghost, voodoo, and other haunted types of tours are popular in NOLA and may be entertaining, but this offered a wealth of actual, useful information! The tour went well over the allotted two hours, but our entire group eagerly followed Don into the cathedral afterwards. We could barely bear to bid him goodbye and weren’t ready to see it end!
