Our History

Like many of New Orleans’ best creations, Two Chicks Walking Tours was hatched (…sorry) over cocktails. It came to life out of a heartfelt love of our city, and the desire to spark that love in others by sharing her enthralling story. We felt a need to unfold her colorful past with a passion we felt the typical tour, crowded onto historic streets, was unable to convey. The life of New Orleans needs no embellishment, and as stewards of her history we felt compelled to offer a curated tour for the genuinely interested and intellectually curious. We wanted to create the tours that we would love to take. The history of New Orleans is the history of our country, and is as much yours as that of the locals, who we are honored to say, also frequent Two Chicks.

Now in it’s ninth year of operations, Two Chicks Walking Tours has successfully fulfilled our vision through our collective of talented storytellers in the French Quarter and Garden District neighborhoods. Our style of southern hospitality features dynamic topics and interesting paths, allowing visitors and locals to explore the city on a deeper level. We are thrilled that by intuiting the need for a more personal approach, Two Chicks has garnered the attention of Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, The Sunday Times Travel Magazine and US News and World Report, among other notable publications. We developed our current offerings over time, all the while being honored with thousands of five star reviews along the way.

Join us to discover an appreciation for a city we all deserve to know.

Betsy

BETSY

BETSY is eccentric, curious, creative, and intuitive, according to a recent on-line test!  And, her colleagues wholeheartedly agree.  Betsy moved from Washington, DC to New Orleans 20+ years ago and she doesn’t see that changing any time soon.  She immediately embraced the city’s unique culture and it embraced her back!  She became involved with Krewe Du Vieux, a satirical Carnival organization.  Walking tours of the Garden District and French Quarter neighborhoods allows her to share her deep passion for her adopted home. Prior to leading guests on tours she worked in the convention industry.  Betsy LOVES everything New Orleans!

Karen

KAREN

KAREN is a native New Orleanian who has never missed a Mardi Gras!  You can find Karen on Bourbon Street on any given day or night because she lives there.  She’s been “leading her own parade” as an independent city planning consultant for over 25 years. Her love of the culture, food, architecture, music, literature, politics and characters of New Orleans is what led her to become a tour guide over 10 years ago. Karen leads visitors in the French Quarter, Garden District, Ladies of the Evenings tours and on customized private tour experiences. She loves to have her tour guests immerse themselves in New Orleans and gain a deep appreciation of her home!  Karen’s favorite thing about New Orleans is ALL of the above!

KYRAN

KYRAN is an ex-pat Canadian (great-great-great-GREAT grandchild of Acadians) whose obsession for history and passion for hospitality flourish in this storied and enchanting place she now calls home.  Kyran’s background as a writer, wanderer, and wrangler of three wonderful sons all come together in shepherding her guests through the twists and turns of New Orleans’ unique history, culture, and geography.  As an immigrant, she is deeply committed to presenting a fully dimensional perspective on the many threads that contribute to the amazing tapestry of New Orleans — complex, layered, sometimes difficult, but always fascinating. Kyran loves to orient tour guests in time, in place, and in culture to CHART an unforgettable New Orleans experience!

Sarah

SARAH

SARAH is a native New Orleanian and in addition to tour guiding works as an archivist. She loves the privilege of handling historic records that date back to the Colonial period. The archives hold centuries of correspondence, images, drawings, photos, and maps.  Her talent in fielding requests from researchers and genealogists leads to a deeper understanding of the history of New Orleans. Sarah brings her knowledge of the archives to tours in a manner such that visitors step back in time.  She loves the late winter in New Orleans when the citrus trees start blooming, followed by azaleas, gardenias, purple irises, and star jasmine. As the season changes to spring the city is a riot of color and delicious scents.  Sarah enjoys touring with CURIOUS visitors to New Orleans!
