Andrew was the best! This...

Andrew_D, Apr 2026

Andrew was the best! This was well worth it. We had a great time with him. It is the perfect amount of time too.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Andrew! It’s Michaela here—though after such a kind review, I’m tempted to change my name to Andrew if it means keeping you as a happy guest! I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the Highlights of New Orleans Private Driving Tour. Striking that balance of "the perfect amount of time" is always my goal, so I’m thrilled it hit the mark for you. It was a pleasure having you along for the ride and sharing a bit of the city's magic. Thank you for the 5-star shout-out and for being such a great sport! Warmly, Michaela

Best driving tour of NOLA

Brina_M, Mar 2026

Michaela is the best tour guide ever! We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and about her city. Great drive and great information! We saw parts of NOLA we had never seen before and Michaela gave us some great ideas for our next trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Brina! "Best tour guide ever"?! You’re going to make me blush under this Louisiana sun! It was truly a joy getting to know you while we cruised around. Showing off those hidden gems and the parts of New Orleans that don't always make it into the brochures is exactly why I love what I do. This city has so many layers, and I’m so glad we could peel back a few together. I’m already looking forward to your next visit—you’ve certainly got a head start on that itinerary now! Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for spending part of your trip with me. Warmly, Michaela 🫓🎷
