Nola Tour Guy

This was a great walking tour! It was perfect for learning about the history of New Orleans! It really made our visit to the city that much more enjoyable!

We enjoyed our tour with David. He’s very knowledgeable and open to questions. Highly recommended!

We’d been exploring NOLA for a few days then decided we needed a little help from a guide. We booked a 2 hour tour with David and we’re glad we did! He’s a knowledgeable guy with a great sense of humor and showed us places we’d probably have passed without knowing the full story. Thoroughly recommended!

Really enjoyed our tour with Dave this weekend.
We took the 2 hour French Quarter tour, which also paid a visit to the cemetery!
We learned so much about the city because Dave really knew his stuff (being a history major and all)! You could tell he also loved what he was doing and also pointed out a ton of stuff we could check out later.
Def a lot of walking, but that’s why it is called a «walking tour»!
The plus side– it’s free… kind of! Tipping is encouraged, especially if you enjoy the tour (and trust me, you will.)
Good bang for your buck with someone who knows his stuff!
Would def recommend to a friend!

Great tour!
David is very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The tour covers a lot of history and a lot of ground.
He really cares about local history and business and points out a lot of points of interest you can visit later

David was enthusiastic, knowledgable, funny. Brought us to great sites and had good relations with local businesses. Love the pay-​what-​you-​will business model. Also, I have to say he has my dream job: living in a beautiful city giving historical tours. I think he has my dream job: living in a beautiful city giving historical tours as an independent businessperson.

Dave was a fabulous tour guide. We learned a lot about the city and enjoyed seeing both the French Quarter and an above ground cemetery. We gained a great deal of amusement from his unique sense of personal hygiene and dress. Don’t be scared away by his blue eyes that wander towards all the breasts… oh bless his heart!
I would gladly take another tour with Dave. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city.

Everyone should go on a tour with Dave if heading to New Orleans! I recently went to New Orleans for the first time and went on a tour with Dave my first day, I am SO glad I did! Dave is super knowledgeable about New Orleans history and gives you a lot of interesting information and is able to point out cool places and facts that you wouldn’t necessarily find in a book. His tour goes throughout the entire French Quarter and then also into a cemetery, which was an added bonus for me. The tour itself is free, but tipping is welcomed, and personally I think his tour is worth at least $ 20/​person. It was fun, educational, and extremely interesting. I am planning another trip with my boyfriend and am definitely going to be taking him on Dave’s tour!

David did a fine job of providing an overview of the French quarter, its history and culture as well as St. Louis cemetery #1.
He spoke fast and was a little difficult to hear at times.
While the tour is free you are encouraged to provide a 10 to 20 $ tip per person. Still a good value. Enjoy.

Our party of three joined a handful of others for a perfectly intimate, interesting and engaging tour of the French Quarter with David. His knowledge of the area is excellent and we enjoyed his tour style. Would definitely recommend!

We actually hired David for a custom tour for our wedding guests! He was polite, flexible and easy to work with! We had him put together an evening walking tour that would include history as well as stopping by 4 historical bars (Carousel, Hermes, Napoleon, and Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop) and recommending their famous drinks! He put together an awesome plan and a nice summary for our guests to read in advance. As we stopped at each place, we had a time to go inside, look around, and order a famous cocktail to go! Our guests LOVED it! David was patient, warm, and has a serious passion for history and NOLA! Even though we had already paid him, our guests loved him so much, they all tipped in addition! Thank you David for being so awesome!

Dave was a really good guide, personable and communicated well while planning my visit. Was definitely two hours well spent!

Dave was so knowledgeable and gave us a great mini-​history lesson of the French Quarter and the cemetery. HIghly recommend this tour!

I did a 2 hour tour with Dave, and it was great. It was obvious he enjoyed sharing info with us, and was well researched and informed. The first hour was of the French Quarter, there was a well needed restroom break halftime :-) then the next hour was of St. Louis Cemetery #1. I didn’t know Nicholas Cage bought a plot there for his future resting place, and his pyramid tomb is already in place … Thanks for showing us that Dave :-)

Did the walking tour of the French quarter with Dave — it was great! He is an awesome tour guide, very personable, funny, and knowledgeable. The tour lasted about 2 hours with lots of stops and explanations of architecture, historical events, and other facts about the city. You end the tour at the French Market, which has plenty of food, drinks, and activities for a post-​tour hangout, but we asked for some extra suggestions from Dave for restaurants and bars, and he gave us some great spots to check out. Can’t wait to go back to this amazing city, and we’ll definitely want to do another tour with Dave when we go back! Thank you again :)

Dave is a great guide and very knowledgeable. He was easy to contact and meet up with. We got to see and learn many interesting things in the French Quarter and was very satisfied with our tour.

Was with a group of six people on New Orleans. We were able to get a private tour with him, and it was great. He was fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgable. He seemed to really care, and wasn’t just running through the motions of memorized patter. I’d recommend him to anyone visiting New Orleans. We found his website and texted him to set everything up — super convenient.

Dave was a great guide! Very friendly and knowledgable. We really enjoyed our tour of the French Quarter.
