Our tour of the Highlights of New Orleans with Michaela was wonderful! It has been almost two weeks since our tour and we are still talking about it! Can’t say enough about Michaela. Her knowledge and genuine love for the city is amazing.

Michaela was a delight! She is very knowledgeable, energetic, humorous, kind, and fun! We had a wonderful afternoon admiring the beauty of New Orleans and learning more about its architecture, history, flora, food, religion, and customs. It felt as close as one can get to going to Europe while still remaining in the U.S. This retired school teacher gives her an A+!

Michelle was fabulous. We saw so much and learned a ton during our 3 hours with her. She was very communicative in advance and flexible when our flights got changed. We had 2 teens who both really enjoyed her style and all the history she shared.
