Scott was very knowledgeable about the area. The tour is not scripted, he talks about the buildings and history as you walk through the French quarter. He took questions and put a lot of detail and thought into his answers. You can tell that he loves teaching tourists about this area. Very accommodating to the group and made sure everyone was comfortable. He also gave great recommendations for places to eat and other historical places/museums. Highly, highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and we learned so much. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get more information on the things around you.

Tim did a great job in spite of the pouring rain. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Thank’s Tim!
Depending upon the number of people on the tour (there was just 4 on ours), the tour guide will take time to answer your questions and actually take a deep dive into the complex and interesting history of the French Quarter and beyond. Our tour guide, Lesley, was excellent and extremely knowledgeable!
This tour provides an informative overview of how New Orleans came to the city it is today. Our guide , Tim, was a true historian and did a fantastic job of explaining the history of not only the architecture, but the culture & food . I highly recommend this tour
Yvonne is an excellent tour guide she took care of our group and included more specialized descriptions upon request. The content, adjustments due to trains and noises, and pace were done well. Would recommend.
Nice overview of the city and its history. Scott asked the group what we were interested in and worked it in. We especially liked the description of the various house styles.
The tour was very informational, Melissa really understood and explained the History of the French Quarter very well. She also stayed after the tour was over to answer our questions. I'd recommend this tour for anyone interested in local history.
We had Scott as our guide and he was awesome.Two hours of places and background information on the history and culture of New Orleans.He encouraged questions from the group regarding their various interests.Highly recommended.

We enjoyed this tour with Scott. Highly recommended. History tour New Orleans. Loved this tour. He is very knowledgeable.
Scott was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much! It was very hot so make sure to bring water!
The description of the tour on tripadvisor was accurate. It was a short 2-hour walking tour of the French Quarter/New Orleans. The meeting spot was walking distance from my hotel which was convenient because I didn’t want to travel to get there. I learned a lot about the history and culture of New Orleans. It was perfect!
A wonderful tour given by Lesley which was both informative and fun! Would highly recommend, you won’t find many who know more about the history of New Orleans, than Lesley.
Libby was a joy! She lead our group in a fabulous way, and with great stories to make the tour memorable. She often asked if everyone was ok and made an effort to keep us in shade if possible and stopped at a very cool shop with inexpensive bottled water. It was a hot one! Great off the beaten path places like Bevolo made this tour by Libby a great one! Book it!
Scott, our tour guide, was wonderful…he was very informative about the history and sights of the French Quarter.

We are extremely happy with our experience in New Orleans with Scott, our tour guide. He was amazing , very knowledgeable and he came to find us because we got lost. He took great care to ask us what we wanted to see and learn about. He answered all our questions very professionally.
Super knowledgeable guide,. Fun way to learn the history of NO. Loved the stories of how the city came to be.
Our guide was Scott and he was great! He gave a lot of recommendations for local food and attractions. Learned so much history about NOLA that we had no idea about. Highly recommend this tour!
The guide was truly fantastic. I loved the emphasis on small groups. I found it interesting how all the tours I took all interconnected the history of New Orleans. .. Also leaned how strange Nicholas Cage is being down there and I feel bad for the Big Easy. Honestly I think they'd rather have Shia LaBeouf.
