We had such a great time on our tour with Rene! He was very engaging and informative. We learned so much about New Orleans. Will take another tour with Walks when we return.

Rene was very well versed in the history of the area and he shared with us his love for all things NOLA!
One of our most enjoyable tours.

Jet was great! We really enjoyed our day with him. The only suggestion I would make is to lessen the time spent at the Praline bakery, I would rather spend your time walking around and learning about the history of the city rather than being in a store (which we could do on our own).

Great walking tour. Timothy was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were not disappointed in choice great tour company. The next time we are traveling to a new city we will be sure to check to see if a walking tour is available

What a great experience! René's passion for the city presented itself immediately, and his knowledge of the sights along the tour was impressive. The mix of historic content and local anecdotes he used left my wife and I feeling genuinely immersed in the city, and the tour's structure provided a great balance of guided and independent learning. We already knew that Walks had earned its reputation across Europe, but if René is any indication, the company is definitely partnering with the right guides and designing a solid experience for travelers new to NOLA.
