Val gave us lots of information and history. We ended up at a museum but did not have enough time to go through it all.

We loved our NO walking tour. Our guide, Jet, was terrific…knowledgeable, fun and went at a perfect pace. We will definitely take a Walks tour again!

We wasted too much time on a 20 min. break which should have been 10 min. Otherwise, it would have been fine. Our tour guide was fine, but a little too politically correct.

We visited places we would not have noticed without participating in this tour and learned lesser known facts and myths about each place on the tour. We also received recommendations on restaurants and other sites (sights?) beyond the scope of this tour.

A great tour on the historical side of the French Quarter! Our guide was fun and informative. Would definitely take another tour with Walks. Missing the Beignets already!

The tour was interesting and we enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was a bit distracted at times and often we felt rushed when we wanted to see some historical facts and landmarks further or when we wanted to take pictures she was always ahead at next place continuing her tour with the other 2 only people on the tour while our family of 4 was left behind. At the cafe du monde we were standing to eat our beignets and coffees we paid for while there were many empty tables. We found that upsetting.
All in all the tour was interesting but the guide lacked a bit of professionalism and clarity

I enjoyed my tour very much. I was the only one on the tour, but my guide kept it interesting and entertaining. This is the second time I have taken "Walks" tours; the first was in Rome last year. I would definitely consider taking them again, if available.

I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide was great and answered many of my off the questions very knowledgeably.
I would take another Walks Tour in the future.
