Two Chicks delivers exactly what visitors to New Orleans are looking for: passionate guides who truly know their city. The roster includes knowledgeable locals like Sarah (an archivist born and raised here), plus guides like Emily, Dannal, Bonnie, Jamie, and Christine who bring the Garden District, French Quarter, and Carrollton neighborhoods to life with deep historical detail and engaging storytelling. Visitors consistently mention how much more they learned compared to exploring on their own, with guides fielding questions about everything from architecture to football. The tours strike a comfortable pace with thoughtful touches like bathroom breaks and quiet spots away from crowds to hear the stories properly. Multiple reviewers were so impressed they immediately booked a second tour, which speaks volumes. The guides build quick rapport with groups and clearly love what they do, making the experience both educational and genuinely fun. Whether you're a first-time visitor or even a local resident curious about neighborhood history, these walking tours come highly recommended across the board.
Jamie was a terrific tour guide! I learned so much about the history of the Garden District and Nola in general. She was delightful to chat with!
