We learned so much about a lot of things about NOLA. Michaela is outgoing and fun. She is a native and knows so much about her community. She took us all over and even out to the Bayou for an air boat ride. This is a must tour for anyone vacationing in New Orleans for the first time. Truly the highlight of our trip!

Neil made an already good food tour great. He added history, architecture, the social structures of New Orleans, food history and his personal relationship to the area a big part of the tour. He has an immense knowledge of this town, he obviously loves living here and he happily shared it with us. We are better for the tour.

Best way to experience the French Quarter like a local
Michelle was an amazing tour guide! She did a custom tour for a group of corporate clients that we were hosting for the day in New Orleans. The reason that we picked her was that we didn't want to do the usual touristy spots, we wanted it to feel more local and special and not trashy and that is exactly what she delivered on. We'll be using her for all our future client trips as well!

Three wonderful tours with La Vie New Orleans. - perfect for a family of 6 including teenage boys!
We did three tours with Benjamin and I could not recommend him enough!!! He was so extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We did the driving tour with our 4 kids and even our teenaged boys thought it was very interesting, which is quite an accomplishment. He was also a pleasure to spend time with and was also very thoughtful and accomodating to our needs for gluten free food.
