This tour company is the best way to visit New Orleans! Cassandra is supremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. She told the whole story - geography, culture, economy, political, all the historic figures from the 1700s to present day. Cassandra took great care of us, feeding us beignets and chicory coffee first thing. She was flexible to our needs.

We had visited NOLA countless times over the past 25 years but this is first time we actually took a tour. We learned so much and it was fun! The stories are really, really, really cool. Cassandra has a pleasant presence and it was effortless for our family to spend half a day with her. For a cranky old man like me, that says a lot. Funny, the next day, we bumped into Cassandra in the middle of nowhere an hour from New Orleans. She told us there was good seafood restaurant nearby. We tried. It was really, really good, indeed. Cassandra used to do food tours. If you love food, she knows a lot about food. For us, that was a big bonus! She is knowledgeable and has good taste. She gave us recommendations of places to see, to eat, etc. We enjoyed them all. We had a good time! Thanks, Cassandra!!! All the very best to you and your team!

We loved our tour. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We've been to New Orleans on several occasions and have done tours previously. We were excited to visit new places and learn information that we had not heard before. Part of our tour was in our guide's car. The car was very clean and comfortable. We loved that this tour was private, just the four of us. We could ask questions, take our time and even stop for a beverage along the way. We would highly recommend this tour!
