    Michelle has clearly figured out the secret to showing visitors the real New Orleans, and travelers can't stop raving about it. What makes her tours special is the deliberate move away from the typical French Quarter tourist trail into the Garden District, where she weaves together local history, architecture, and seriously good food. Even frequent NOLA visitors mention learning things they never knew, with one reviewer noting they discovered what the rest of the city offers beyond their French Quarter assumptions. She kicks things off with a solid history lesson that sets the context for everything that follows, and her passion for the city's stories comes through in every stop. The food selection hits all the right notes. People specifically call out dishes like the Eggplant Napoleon at Joey K's, classic red beans and rice with andouille, beignets with café au lait, and even Creole-style empanadas that surprised guests in the best way. Michelle handles dietary restrictions without missing a beat, accommodating everything from vegan to gluten-free needs for groups as large as eleven people. What really seals the deal is her personality: knowledgeable without being boring, enthusiastic without being over the top, and genuinely friendly in a way that makes the experience feel like exploring with a local friend rather than following a tour guide. Corporate groups use her for clients who want something authentic rather than touristy, and bachelorette parties list it as a trip highlight. The consensus is pretty universal that this should go on your must-do list.

    Most of our family group had not been to New Orleans, but those that had, it had been 30 years or more. We all assumed the French Quarter was the only place to see here. We booked this tour for our first day, and so glad we did. Michelle gave us a 45 min history of the city before starting the tour. We greatly appreciated the story behind some of the historic homes. The tour completely opened our eyes to what the rest of the city has to offer. I would highly recommend this tour, even if you’ve been to NOLA before and want to explore the rest of the city.
