Local’s Perception of Tour - I enjoyed this tour so much! I live in the area and grew up in New Orleans and have always taken our beautiful city for granted so i decided to take this tour. Learning about the history and architecture was fascinating! Many things I was already familiar with but I actually really learned a lot. Our tour guide was Eva and she was great! Very laid back and knowledgeable! I recommend this tour highly!

Top notch tour guide provides insights to the architecture of the District as well as some of the people living there. - Erin was a phenomenal tour guide. She was passionate about the district and knowledgeable. I really appreciated the fact that she had taken the time to research what she was talking about. It was also very easy to understand her (although she was aided by the fact that our tour group was small), and her demeanor encouraged questions. Fabulous.
