Entertaining and informative walk
Review of: New Orleans French Quarter Walking and History Tour

Really enjoyed this walk. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and obviously loves New Orleans. She took us into places not generally accessible such as the theatre and into courtyards we wouldn't have known about. Well worth doing.

Don't worry about getting lost. The tour guides are most helpful in explaining where you are and how to get anywhere else in the city at the end of your tour. Nothing to be afraid about.
