    Michaela has built something special here, earning universal praise from travelers who consistently describe her as knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely fun to spend time with. Her expertise runs deep, covering everything from plantation history to the lower 9th Ward to Anne Rice sites, and guests repeatedly say they learned more in a few hours with her than on multiple other tours combined. She customizes itineraries based on what interests you, offers excellent restaurant and music recommendations, and drives a comfortable, nearly-new SUV that makes the experience feel luxurious. What really stands out is how personal these tours feel. Multiple reviewers compare it to exploring with a local relative who knows all the insider spots, and several mention the day became a favorite memory they kept discussing long after. Michaela handles groups of various sizes with ease and stays in touch before tours to adjust for weather or preferences. Her enthusiasm for New Orleans is infectious, and she's not afraid to show you off-the-beaten-path locations alongside the famous sites. If you want more than a cookie-cutter experience and prefer a guide who treats you like family, this is your best bet.

    I recently had the pleasure of doing an amazing tour of the Evergreen Plantation and what made the experience truly unforgettable was our guide. Michaela simply is the best guide (and human being) I could ask for. From the moment the tour began, it was clear that she was not only very knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about the history, culture and significance of the site. Her preparation was outstanding. Every detail, from the history of the plantation itself to the lives of those who lived and worked there, was presented with such clarity and depth. And I loved her genuine enthusiasm. Michaela and the Evergreen Plantation made my whole trip in the U.S. ...it will forever be an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!
