  • Great Carrollton Walking Tour with Emily

    “We really enjoyed the Carrollton Walking Tour with Emily. She is a Carrollton native, historian and has lots of funny stories. We loved the portrait of daily life that she painted of the early days of Carrollton. She has a natural ability to connect the past to present. Loved her tour.”

  • Excellent Tour of Underappreciated Neighborhood

    “This was an excellent tour of a part of New Orleans that doesn't get so many tourists. We learned so much, even though we used to live in this neighborhood. Would highly recommend for people interested in the less well known parts of New Orleans' history”.

Her tour is a great way to learn a lot about New Orleans and is a fun way to experience a neighborhood that not all tourist get to enjoy. Definitely recommend!!!”
