We had a fantastic time with Beth as our tour guide! Beth's entertaining storytelling is exceptional. She has guided us through New Orleans' French Quarter, telling stories about many myths as well as facts. She is very knowledgeable, personable, and sweet. Beth also gave us some recipes I can't wait to try out. Food selection with a history of each meal was a wonderful and tasty experience. I will go back for another tour with Beth when I'm in NOLA again. I highly recommend Dr. Gumbo's tour company and Beth as your tour guide.
