    The guides here are clearly the star of the show, with names like Lacey, Hannah Kate, Walter, Kamille, DeAnna, and Angie earning enthusiastic praise across the board. What stands out most is how these guides go beyond memorized scripts to deliver engaging storytelling that keeps everyone interested, from teenagers to seasoned travelers. They're genuinely knowledgeable about New Orleans history, architecture, and local culture, often debunking common myths and answering questions with ease. The Garden District and Witches Coven tours are particularly popular, with many visitors saying these were the best tours they took in New Orleans. People appreciate the intimate group sizes and how personable the guides are, weaving together history, witchcraft lore, and architectural details in entertaining ways. Several reviewers mention returning for multiple tours with this company, which speaks volumes. Even locals bring out-of-town guests here and discover new information about their own city.

    This was our second tour with DuPont and Company Tours. I have raved about DeAnna for the first one, and now I must rave about Lacey for this most recent one. There were four of us along for this trip--adults and older teenagers, and Lacey kept us all engaged, which is no small feat! She was not just knowledgeable, but she was also personable and was really telling stories and not just reeling off a memorized script. She had the best energy, and honestly, when we choose tours in New Orleans, we will return to DuPont and Company again and again.
