Cassandra gave my wife and I a really excellent private tour! We HIGHLY recommend booking with her and doing so your first or second day in town. You will learn so much about the history of this great city as well as learn how to navigate the French Quarter. The Garden District was so pretty- perfect for a casual walk while learning about the people that make this city so wonderfully unique. Cassandra went at the pace we wanted to go at and couldn't be more patient and friendly. Quit reading, go book it.

My mother and father in law had an amazing experience with the tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and very well spoken. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. She took her time in talking about the history of New Orleans.

My wife and I were taking our 13 year old grandson to NOLA - his and my wife's first time there. We wanted him to learn about the area, but also have fun. We spent 6 hours together, got a great overview of the history, people, Katrina. and stopped for a terrific lunch. We have no problem recommending Cassandra as your guide!
