Tom, Sept 2026

"We all assumed the French Quarter was the only place to see here. We booked this tour for our first day, and are so glad we did. Michelle gave us a 45 min history of the city- we greatly appreciated the stories behind the historic homes. The tour completely opened our eyes to what the rest of the city has to offer. I highly recommend this tour, even if you’ve been to NOLA before and want to explore the rest of the city."

"Michelle is amazing! Very knowledgeable about the history. A fast, efficient tour guide, packs a lot into one tour. Will show you all the local good stuff, not the touristy, run-of-the-mill stuff. Loved this tour! Favorite of the trip!"

"We loved our Garden District tour with Michelle so much! It was the highlight of our family reunion trip. We learned a TON and had the best food we’ve had in NOLA. If you like old homes, fun facts, and yummy food...this is for you. Great for all ages :) Really happy our little crew decided to do this."

"This was amazing! The Garden District food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to NOLA. She was able to accommodate our 11 person bachelorette party along with vegetarian and gluten considerations. Her knowledge of New Orleans and its history was impressive and engaging. Add one of Michelle’s tours to your NOLA must do list!"
