Had a fantastic experience. Ms. Judy shared a lot of the history of New Orleans and facts that I was not aware of. Furthermore, Ms. Judy took time after to discuss some other facts regarding Plessy v. Ferguson with me. She made the tour worth it. Will be visiting again and will definitely take a tour with Ms. Judy.
