it was our first time in New Orleans and my family enjoyed the guide as she explained each of the historical sights and what it meant for the local people. We also went through the architecture of the French quarter and how it evolved throughout the years.

The hotel was clean and employees very friendly and helpful support questions. The breakfast was nice. Is close to Bourbon Street (8 to 10 minutes walk). 20 to 22 minutes to the French market.

Even though it rained hard, I was still able to enjoy the tour to the fullest. The dinner buffet was sumptious. My highlight would be the Dukes of Dixieland's show. This is a must when in New Orleans!
