I am proud to be born and raised in New Orleans! My love for this city runs deep, and started with my grandfather's dream of owning a piece of its reputation for world-renowned food. He and my grandmother started Short Stop Po-Boys in a small grocery store over 50 years ago, and it has been a part of our family and local community ever since. Bringing people together was something that was so important to them, and they made sure that passion lived with every one of us. I remember sitting around listening to him share stories about how it all began, and those are some of the memories I hold most dear. They are also just the thing that sparked my never-ending curiosity! Over the years, owing much of it to my father, I've developed a sincere love for history, and there is no shortage of it in New Orleans! I spent 15 years in luxury hospitality which took me to other destinations all over the United States, and then the historical roots of the city came calling. With the support of family, friends, and other historians, I've found my way to being a professional guide, and have never looked back! Now as a grateful husband and father of 3, I instill that same excitement in my own family for our unique culture, and its incredibly rich beginnings. With every guest, my true goal is that you return home with a deeper understanding and love for the spirit of New Orleans. I do everything I can to make sure that happens! -Licensed Tour Guide -Licensed For-Hire Vehicle Operator -CPNC Certified by the City of New Orleans -Owner of La Vie New Orleans Private Tours

Overview of your New Orleans tour

With the perfect combination of luxury transportation, and experiencing some of the city's most extraordinary history, add on to your day with a stop for lunch and a thrilling ride through the Louisiana Swamp! I love history and telling stories, and this is exactly what you will see hear and taste on the citywide tour. Aside from the tried and true stops - such as the French Quarter, Garden District and Cemeteries - I will also take the time to bring you to the local neighbourhoods, and explore some of the murals and parks that are not as simple to find. Along with learning about our unique city, and enjoying a local lunch, you will then visit our Louisiana Swamp on a private chartered airboat with captain. Although it is impossible to make 100% guarantees with wild animals, our guests have seen wild alligators on every single trip. Additionally, Louisiana wildlife is rich with both resident and migratory animals.
