All Ashore in New Orleans!

Our guide Arthur was very professional and knowledgeable (and obviously very compassionate) about the city of New Orleans. The most fascinating part of the tour for us was when he took us to the cemeteries and provided in depth details on some of the unique burial customs practiced by the various immigrant groups which formed a very important part of the history of New Orleans. I would highly recommend this tour for those who are interested to learn more about the cultural history of New Orleans.

as a 2nd time visitor to New Orleans, we wanted a more in-depth look. to better understand the geography of Lake Pontchartrain to the river, as well as French quarter and garden district. my wife is limited to a walker, so getting in and out of a car and walking is difficult, Arthur drove us around and let us just soak in the architecture as he told us about the various homes, and areas, exactly what we wanted. we saw areas normally not seen as well as views of the river. the 2nd day we toured a city mansion, that had an excellent depiction of how slaves lived. as well as a more expansive rural mansion with extensive gardens, Lunch at lake Pontchartrain Art deco airport was a pleasant interlude and then a drive among the lake side mansions. he helped in the understanding the relationship of the Bayos and the industrial canal, and locks was very informative. Arthur was great

Kudos to Arthur for a great introduction to New Orleans. Prior to our tour he was able to adjust our time to accommodate a conflict. He started our tour with a brief history of New Orleans and then made sure we got to see all we expected and more. We were able to cruise the French Quarter and the Garden District, visited the Chalmette Battlefield (site of the Battle of New Orleans) and cemeteries, saw the still recovering 5th Ward, and of course, beignets. Arthur provided an engaging commentary throughout. Just wish we would have had more time.

he did a great job. we did what we wanted to do and see and it wasn't very much. got to airport in plenty of time and skipped the line at cafe du mon and went to the best benets in town. Arthur knew it all, Jeff

Fantastic experience. Arthur was able to guide us through the settlement of new orleans and its growth and diversity. Vignettes abound in the various neighborhoods, churches, cemeteries and grand homes. Highly recommend this tour.
