Amy did a great job! She was animated and extremely informative. It was a hot day, but Amy always found a way to keep us cool and in the shade.

The food tastings tour with Perry was better. Same info on history, even more Our tour guide went on what we called”rants”. We couldn’t ask questions and left early
A wonderful hotel
The hotel is located great, just one block from Bourbon Street and 2 blocks from the main street; you can reach a lot on foot or by bus. 1 ticket costs 1 dollar for 1 day and all buses and ferry. The hotel is very nice, a wonderful pool in the courtyard, a paid garage, beds very good, staff very friendly.
