Overview

Great fun and educational experience with local insight

Benjamin_A, Jan 2026
Leanne was incredibly knowledgeable. Her family dates back generations and she clearly knows and loves her city.

Guide was funny and...

Brian_B, Nov 2023
Guide was funny and entertaining. Best quote regarding a former employee, "Your done." Good mix of history and humor

Great comprehensive tour of New Orleans

Naomi_P, Oct 2022
Leanne was such a great tour guide! We enjoyed her local's perspective of the city and her knowledge of the history and architecture. The tour was paced just right and is scheduled so that you don't feel like you are wasting tour time when you stop for beignets and coffee. We saw so many beautiful things on the tour and were able to identify things we wanted to go back to and spend more time at after the tour. We felt more confident navigating New Orleans on our own after her insights during the tour. We would highly recommend any tour Leanne offers!
