I'm Keynin J., your private tour guide in New Orleans

Guide #52117

I am a native to New Orleans (3 Generations on my mother's side, 5 Generations on my father's side) that's excited to do what all host LOVE to do, may guest enjoy their home. My very first tour was conducted by my grandfather, who was a Native Choctaw Indian that bestowed the LOVE of this city into me. So when I give a tour of my city, I can feel him just smiling upon me. I have the grace of living in other places all over the world, being in the United States Navy, yet the only place in the world that I can truly call home is New Orleans. New Orleans has a way of getting into the soul and making anyone feel at home with themselves. With all the tours that I give, I want that feeling to exude from every fiber of my being. All of my tours are a mixture of all the books that I've read about this city, local legend, and (of course) my grandfather folklore that I lean on. All 3 different aspects of understanding give this city it's Mystique, Magic, Allure and Grace. I do my best to capture these parts in the Graciousness of New Orleans. All my tours can be customized upon request. New Orleans Tour Guide License I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    Keynin was extremely knowledgeable and well resourced. He focused o. The people that made New Orleans that aren’t always talked about. He focused on the women and former enslaved people that played important roles in creating the city we experience today. Highly recommended.

    We wanted a tour that offered an honest readout on history, as gritty and painful as some parts are. Keynin is a fantastic story teller but also welcomed questions to explore topics off of his normal narrative. He was warm in his humanity and passionate about New Orleans history. We loved our time with him and recommend his service.

    Keynin was an excellent tour guide, filled with knowledge, stories, and humor. He is well read and is willing to share the real story behind things. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would recommend him to anyone.

    We met our guide at Armstrong Park by chance, and the experience couldn’t have started better. He helped us with directions, then offered to show us around the park — and within minutes we knew we were in great hands. His energy is fantastic, his stories are unique and full of local character, and he brings the history of New Orleans to life in a way that’s both...
