Great Tour by Gary K - Great tour by a a New Orleans native. It was obvious Gary K loves his town and loves to share with his tour groups. Saw unique places like the Flooded House Museum. He also provided numerous text links to help visitors i.e. Great restaurant recommendations, how to use trolleys, best music in French Quarter. Also small group size was great. Highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for more in dept tour, try another one. This just touches the surface. - it was an ok trip. I was expecting to see a little more on the trip. Also on the Hurricane Katrina area, i thought we were going to visit the 9th ward but we were only taken to the "Katrina exhibit"
