The tour was very interesting and the guide was very informative and receptive to our comments and questions. She mentioned different types of buildings and contextualized them in the relevant stages of New Orleans' history. Her addition of highlighting Creole women was a nice addition.

Our tour guide, Guy, came prepared with a binder. Inside the binder there were photos and historical information that tied directly to the history of the Quarter and of the architecture therein. Guy was very interesting the way he spoke about historical events and how he explained the architectural styles. I learned so much from him. This was the fourth walking tour I've done in New Orleans. I have to say this one was the most educational and fascinating of all. I think the reason it is so good is because of Guy himself. I know so many more things about New Orleans because of him. I look at the buildings differently now. Also, he told us about an antique store on Royal St. I never knew what was in the store or that it existed before Guy told us. After the tour, we visited the antique store/gallery. We had an amazing experience there, as well. Totally mind blowing.
I highly recommend taking this tour with Guy.

Excellent tour! Guy was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. He detailed New Orleans history and how that related to the architecture of the French Quarter. I would highly recommend this tour, and would suggest doing it early in your stay, as Guy also recommended museums and restaurants to check out while in town!

The architecture tour was fantastic! Lesley was a PHENOMENAL guide! So knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic, and energetic! I felt like I was being guided by a true pro, and there was a New Orleans local in the group who agreed and stated how happy she was to learn so much new info about her hometown. I would recommend this tour to anyone and Lesley deserves a raise for being 5 stars and beyond!

This is a great tour. Guy our tour guide not only gave the history of the architecture of New Orleans which probably could be researched on your own but he added so much more with the beginnings of the city and the people who came here. This is a must see tour with Guy.
