“Blown Away”
“I was blown away at how many interesting things were out there that I may have otherwise just walked by without noticing had it not been for our amazing tour guide, Paula. I highly recommend this tour to tourists and locals alike. I’ve taken tours with a few other guides, and New Orleans Top Tours was by far the best. It wasn’t even close.”
