Quay was an excellent guide! His knowledge of New Orleans history was very thorough as well as impressive. He was very kind , keeping in mind that my husband and have very limited vision. We highly recommend Quay to lead your next tour!!
Quay was incredible, so knowledgeable and a ton of fun to be around. He really treated us well and we learned a ton about NOLA history. Highly recommend his tours!
Quay was AMAZING! He curated a ghost and music history tour for our extended family. It was a perfect mix of ghost stories and music history. He knew where he could take our kids (ages 16, 16, 14, 13, 12) so they could hear jazz music prior to the bar turning 21years only. Quay was also very personable and connected will with our kids! We highly recommend using Quay as tour guide/historian!
We visited NOLA in Feb 2024. We hired Quay for a French Quarter Tour and he was fantastic. He was very informative and a lot of fun!!
