Nola Tour Guy

Husband & I maded a very last-minute decision to take this tour, led by Eric. It was GREAT! I was relieved because my husband is a history guy, and is highly critical of people making sh** up, and he really, really enjoyed the info provided by Eric- the way that NOLA history was presented and especially that it was ACCURATE (according to him). I am NOT a history buff, and yet found Eric's presentation engaging, interesting, peppered with personal recommendations (which I always appreciate). At one point, Eric made sure we were aware of what looked to be an antique store, which we would have normally skipped over. Day after tour, we stopped in and were blown away by the art, history, and sheer beauty of this place (M.S. Rau). That tip alone was amazing. Just an example of the info that Eric provided. Can't be easy dealing with annoying people who may or may not tip you after a free tour - Eric was great. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn, be entertained, and gather a lot of useful tips along the way! Thanks, Eric!

Excellent walking tour to explore NOLA: French Quarters. Sandy was our guide, giving us the best insights, history and everything to know about this beautiful city! Sandy was funny and kept us engaged! We're glad that we did this walking tour on our first day. Thank you, Sandy!!

We went on three different tours (French District, cemetery and Garden District) with the Nola Tour Guy during our visit. Both David and Sal are knowledgeable with the history of the city and the buildings. It was far better than just roaming the areas by ourselves and I feel like I have better understanding of the city overall thanks to them. Highly recommended. And please even though they offer their services for free, tip them generously.They're worth every penny.

Laura was our tour guide and she gave us a nice tour of the Garden District. She knew the styles of the architecture and gave us lots of historical and interesting information about the homes in the area and showed us some of the current and former homes of famous owners. I would highly recommend going with this company.

I was hoping to get more insight into the architecture of the French Quarter. The dilemma of "history" tours is the amount of time standing in one place to listen. The tour, however, gave us lots of information, covered a fair amount of ground, and was interesting. The only main complaint - tour guide to tour guide - this "free" tour is so appreciated when you're on a budget, but don't ask for money up front.

A group of friends and I booked a tour and got Eric as our guide through the French Quarter. I have taken a NOLA walking tour before, and was with two people who were new to the city, and two people who were born and raised in the area. We all walked away with new information. Eric was very informative and transparent which was appreciated. At the end, he was happy to share recommendations on restaurants and bars, and answer any questions from the group. Would absolutely recommend NOLA Tour Guy again!

He was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. It was really interesting!

My group and I did the French Quarter Tour. The guide, Sandy, was certainly very knowledgeable, and at first we thought it would end up being a really cool tour. However, as the tour went on, she got steadily more and more vulgar. Her language was outrageous, swearing in just about every sentence, using completely unnecessarily inappropriate metaphors. I understand that New Orleans has a rough history, but the guide should be there to educate in a professional manner. She was a far cry from professional. There were small children present as well. We left about halfway through the tour as she was describing in grotesque detail the "guidebook" that people used to use to determine which prostitute they wanted to hook up with (and clearly enjoying the shock affect that her words were having). I have been on walking tours in cities all over the world, and never have I heard a tour guide as brazenly vulgar as this. If you have children, or consider yourself "polite company" in any way, I do not recommend this walking tour.

It was a fun informative tour.Good paced and interesting history lesson . I would recommend it for sure.

Sandy was my tour guide for the Voodoo tour. Her knowledge of the origins of the religion and the history is amazing. She was happy to answer all my questions at each stop. I am so happy that it was suggested. I obtained so much knowledge and left feeling that the couple hours have enhanced my life.
