Our guide, Gary was excellent. We saw and heard about all of the key sights in NOLA! Plus he took us to a Cafe DuMonde in City Park where we were able to get beignets without waiting in horrendous lines in the French Quarter. This tour allowed us to get our bearings for where we wanted to go on the rest of our visit and Gary even dropped us off at a restaurant we wanted to try at the end of the tour.

Brian was great, funny and educational. On our way to the Whitney Plantation, he pointed out several landmarks and showed us a lot of movie sites without the extra cost, including evergreen plantation, oak alley plantation and other locations. We even stopped for food, Brian was very generous and very hospitable. The entire experience was made 100 times better thanks to "Derek". Recommend this 100%.
