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!
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.
