I enjoyed Hollis so much. He made you feel comfortable and welcomed. I received a different perspective outside of Bourbon St., and the French Quarter. Would 1000% do this again, and recommend this for a good time.

If you are looking for a true look at night life in New Orleans that you won’t see in the French Quarter or any of the tourist spots this is the tour for you. Hollis the tour guide was great at getting the members of the tour to interact with each other share some of the history of Treme and speak from his perspective and kept the group together and safe! There was even a stop with food trucks!
