It was great, he was super knowledgeable and articulate. We got to see all the best sights in the Garden District neighborhood. He kept us in the shade and he was a very easy to follow guide.

We had a great time with Dave on our tour of the Garden District. He has lived in New Orleans for a longtime and had many fun stories to tell about the sites we were seeing. Unfortunately, the local cemetery was closed so we had to visit it outside the gate. The houses we saw were beautiful with interesting stories. We could imagine life during their early era.

We took a tour of the Garden Quarter in New Orleans and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide, Muriel, was extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and shared so many fascinating details that brought the history of the neighborhood to life. The tour was well-organized, engaging, and full of curiosities that we would have never discovered on our own.
