A wonderfully, informative tour
Erin, our guide, knew her "stuff". She was enthusiastic, her timing was good, and she kept everyone interested. Erin opened my eyes to New Orlean's history and culture and the importance of the African American influence.
Erin was an awesome guide!!
Jenna M. ·Erin was super knowledgeable and friendly during our tour. She was amazing at thleling us about the true history, and not white-washing it like has happened. We had 3 kids with us, ages 10, 12, and 15, and they learned so much during this tour! It was one of the most memorable moments of our trip!
