New Orleans has a unique history
Brett did a great job of covering the foundations of New Orleans. Especially the inhabitants prior to it joining the United States. This was just the type of tour we were looking for.

Walk with Neil!
Every tour we’ve booked through With Locals has been great! Neil was no exception. He has extensive knowledge of local history and culture, plus tells some fun ghost tales. Neil was also able to give us recommendations to local eateries and entertainment. We had a great time and highly recommend booking your tour with him!
