"One of the best tours ever. Nick was great. Highly recommend. He picked us up in a really comfy big SUV right on time. The tour is a combo of walking and riding, which was great since it was so hot. He is very energetic and knowledgeable and clearly excited about the topic and the city."
– Mary Lynn C., TripAdvisor"Nic is enthusiastic for his lifelong study of history. That translates into an informative, entertaining, connect the dots experience. His breadth of knowledge is extensive, his joy in sharing is evident. Don't miss this experience."

He digs deep into the people & stories, putting them within the context of Civil War time local and geopolitical happenings. Hands down the best tours in New Orleans!"
