  • Can't Say Enough Good Things!

    “We can't say enough good things about Karen! We were fortunate to have her for both our Garden Tour and the French Quarter Tour the next day. Having the same guide both times let her tie in various aspects of each tour and really made it a wonderful experience. Her knowledge of the area and the culture is excellent, and she was really great with the kids in the group.”

  • Brilliant Tour Led By Karen

    “My wife and I enjoyed a brilliant tour of the French Quarter led by Karen. She was hugely informative and very witty, providing a brilliant commentary on the sights of the French Quarter. We highly recommend Karen and the 2 Chicks Tours.”

  • One of the Best Walking Tours Ever!

    “Our tour guide, Karen, gave one of the best city walking tours I've ever had. She has so much historical knowledge of the city and the French Quarter in particular. We learned about the city's interesting past, its blend of architecture, local legends, and some restaurant recommendations. I fully recommend Karen's "Highlights of the French Quarter" tour for anyone new to the city.”

  • Great Couple of Hours in the French Quarter

    “Great tour led by our guide, a proud, life-long Big Eazy resident, Karen, who walked us through a colourful history, architecture, human rights, dining and cultural journey. I was walking solo though shared the journey with two families of near teens and teens. Karen did a great job making everyone feel a part of the tour. There is a lot to see. Start here.”

  • We strongly advise all visitors to not trust the streetcar to deliver you to the tour on time. Enjoy it afterwards when time is not an issue. It’s the most charming, historic, and UNRELIABLE form of transportation in our fair city.

    Call United Cabs at 504-522-9771 or use Lyft or Uber apps for accurate arrivals.

  • Our tours happen rain or shine! New Orleans can be a little wet at times. In our experience a rain proof jacket with a hood is the most effective clothing to bring.

    Also, we have crafted tour routes that have scenes under cover wherever possible – using roofs, archways, awnings or even indoors.

  • We know plans change. To request a refund please contact us 24 hours in advance of your public tour’s scheduled departure time. Private tours require 30 days advance notice to receive full refund.
