Wonderful city tour - The driver/ tour guide, Teddy, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and shared great info with us. I would’ve liked more than one stop to get out, but overall it was great.

Teddy is the ultimate NOLA Tour Guide! - This was my 85yo mom's first visit to New Orleans. She uses a cane and walker, so I wanted one tour that provided an overview of the city. I chose this tour because it was a van vs. a tour bus. The afternoon availability was another plus. When I tell you that the experience exceeded my expectations by miles is an understatement. Teddy called ahead of time to confirm pickup time. We were exiting the Algiers Point Ferry, and Teddy met us right at the exit. He even had a stool to assist Mom in getting in the van. Teddy was born in NOLA and has an encyclopedic knowledge of everything from the founding of the city, the neighborhoods, Katrina, rebuilding, the cemeteries, and where famous people live. There's a mid-tour break where you can get coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde. My mom is a history buff, and that is clearly Teddy's passion. Our trip would not have been the same if we hadn't taken this tour. Mom has not stop raving about Teddy.
I highly recommend you book this tour (request Teddy) if you're truly interested in knowing the great city of New Orleans!

If you Take this Tour, You Won't Need to Take any Others - Although we took some other history tours, this one was far more extensive and interesting. Our tour guide Oz did a terrific job going through many parts of the city that the other tours did not cover. Having lived his whole life in New Orleans, he had an abundance of knowledge about the city. An added bonus was that he picked us up at our hotel and returned us to that location after the tour was finished. Would highly recommend this tour.
