Muriel was an exceptional guide ???? I would highly recommend her and this tour to see how the upper crust of New Orleans once lived and now still does so.

This was a well-paced 2 hour walking tour with very knowledgeable New Orleans native. David was our guide, he gave great overviews of the different homes (mansions) we stopped at including Anne Rice, Archie Manning, John Goodman homes. Unlike many guides, we finished on time without rushing thru the end of the tour.

Chatty guide discussed architecture and famous people who used to live there...no Mansion was open for tour inside. I could do this for free myself using a cellphone app! Have lunch at the Channel Bar - order at the counter.
