I'm glad we took this tour. It added a few concrete, historical tidbits to our wanderings. I will say, however, we were a bit disappointed in the content and our ability to access all of what was said. I was really looking for more history and more a pithy experience. Because we were 13 people walking in a string along the sidewalk we couldn't always hear what was said. Periodically Christine did stop and allow us to gather around her but I would have felt far better fed if we had been provided with head phones and more of an audible running commentary. In addition we spent an inordinate amount of time in two bars. Just one for ordering a drink and using the facilities, would have been sufficient. The idea was cute, the actual tour was disappointing.

This is a great tour for seeing the lesser known sites throughout the French Quarter.... plus you have stops for cocktails or water if you're not into drinking. Our guide, and one of the Two Chicks, was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. I would recommend you take this tour and be prepared get a fun history lesson and learn about the city.
