A walk down history with the French Quarter

David_T, Nov 2024
Our tour guide Kyran was exceptional. She was highly knowledgeable about the French Quarter and a true history buff, making the experience feel like a walk through time. Kyran made the tour engaging and exciting, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment exploring the highlights of the French Quarter with her.

Karen is the best!

Karen was an excellent tour guide and spoke with a passion about her city and the history. She was thoughtful, and made sure we were comfortable at all times in the extreme heat. I loved her recommendations about things to do, and books to read. It wasn't so much a tour as it was walking around with a friend. I would rate this tour top notch, and would even do it again.

Great Tour of the French Quarter

We received a very nice tour of the French Quarter. Our tour guide, Suzanne, was very knowledgeable. We asked if she had any recommendations for books to read to learn more about the French Quarter, and she followed up the next day with a great list. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great stroll with Christine, one of the owners of 2 chicks tours. I lucked out with a private tour. Well worth it! Christine knows and loves New Orleans. I highly recommend using this company...much better than the large group free tours.

Linda M, Apr 2017
Karen was wonderful.She had a nice easy pace and pointed out many sights of New Orleans. We got an overview of the history and origins of the city. As we walked through the area, she told us about the shops and museums and restaurants. She was very friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. We only walked about 2 blocks on Bourbon St which was fine! but she showed us many different types of architecture in the area and was very knowledgeable. The tour was about 2 hours but seemed to go too quickly. I would recommend her and this tour. Several locals greeted her as we walked: Made us feel less like tourists and more at home.
