We signed up for the “New Orleans French Quarter Walking and History Tour” advertised for 2hr 30mins, covering the French Quarter, Jackson Square Ursuline convent, Louis Armstrong Park, Mississippi River, the church….but all we did is walked around the French Quarter! The tour ended after 1 hour 45 minutes! David our guide was nice, showed us some interesting buildings where old movies were filmed. But I wish he had covered all the places mentioned in the tour description and not ending the tour early! I do not recommend this tour.
