        Beautiful tour but lacking a complete narrative
        Our guide showed us many beautiful homes and areas in New Orleans. He provided many interesting tidbits about the culture and history of New Orleans. The mansions are truly stunning. However, we could not escape the feeling that we were seeing only the experience of the privileged white class of New Orleans. There was never acknowledgement of the experiences of enslaved people who created the fortunes of these mansion builders nor any acknowledgement of the challenges faced by those less fortunate in the city. It was a very white-washed experience that left us feeling sad and angry.

        Dominick was really good!
        We had a great day with Dominick. He is very knowledgeable. We would definitely do this tour again, but would likely choose different plantations to explore.

        Cancel your other tours and do this one. You will get to experience everything out of the french quarter that you can think of w
        This was such a great tour! I feel like we learned more about Hurricane Katrina than the news ever talked about. He explained life after the storm and what it took to recover. Also, what's been done post, Katrina. He explains everything so well that it really gives you an up close view of the biggest natural disaster in United States history. Save your money on other tours. This guy will knock all those off in one custom experience. You go for Katrina education and leave with an upclose view of it all, but you also get to see the most beautiful cemetery (because his family is actually in there..true local!) the garden district and so much more! This tour is worth every penny! 10/10 recommend you booking now so you can catch him on your next vacation!

        Fell in Love with NOLA through this tour!
        Dominick was a fantastic tour guide- a true Southern gentleman so proud and knowledgeable about NOLA. Having never taken a private dining tour, I was unsure what to expect. Dominick selected two restaurants(Tableau and The Napolean House) and advised us to selections. All his food recommendations were first-rate, and he even encouraged me ( not typically brave when trying new things) to get out of my comfort zone! I found myself eating seafood, which I always shy away from, and alligator! I cannot speak highly enough of this experience and only wish it had been my first tour instead of one of the last so I could have asked for other restaurant recommendations. Dominick shares his love of NOLA with you and you find yourself just wanting to walk the city with him to hear his stories. I 100% recommend it- you will not be disappointed!

        Spectacular Tour
        Dominick was spectacular! His knowledge of New Orleans is impressive. He is very informative, welcomes all questions, drives safely and we were very comfortable not only in the vehicle but with Dominick in general. He has prepared a lengthy tour full of history and fun. We had the best time, well worth the money and highly recommend this tour!

        Brilliant tour with a fabulous guide!
        What a truly awesome day we had with Dominic. Two brilliant and very different plantations and detours to show us the Garden District and different parts of the surrounding areas. Lovely lunch too. Dominic is hugely knowledgeable, genial and great company, my husband left his phone in the van and Dominic brought it to our restaurant in the evening! Above and beyond! Thank you, hope to see you again some day!

        City and swamp tour
        Dominick was our guide, he took us for a drive around the city of New Orleans and then to a swamp tour. He was pleasant, explained things very well and had pictures to help with his explanations. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire city drive tour. Then we were able to see the suburb’s and country as we took the highway out of the city to the swamp tour. The tour guide on the river boat was informative, we saw a lot of wildlife including alligators. It was a lovely day and we felt that we got more than our moneys worth for a full day of entertainment and education.

        New Orleans Tour with Dominick Musso
        Dominick Musso is the best tour guide that I've ever seen. His knowledge of New Orleans is simply unsurpassed, including the history of the city, how the city has prepared itself for future hurricanes and excellent restaurant recommendations, including Tableau and GW Fins, 2 of the best restaurants in the French Quarter.

        A Great Tour of New Orleans
        Dominick picked us up at the dock of The American Cruise Lines. He is a native and very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of information about the history of New Orleans. He found the perfect place for lunch. He found the perfect shops for souvenirs. He loves New Orleans and shared that love of the city with us. He was completely trustworthy, polite and friendly. Thank You Dominick.

        Highly Recommend a Tour with Dominick!
        Family of four with two teens. French Quarter tour on Dec 20, 2020 with Dominick Musso. Masks and social distancing were the norm still due to COVID, but that did not hinder our tour in any way. Dominick was an absolute wealth of knowledge and a true professional. It's clear he love New Orleans and its rich history. We spent ~3 hours walking and stopping to learn all about the French Quarter. HIGHLY recommend booking Dominick! A tour with him makes a walk around the city much more informed and enjoyable. So thrilled we decided to book with him and take a tour of the city. Hope COVID is under control sooner than later and tourism can return to the city with gusto.

      Dominick provided us an EXCEPTIONAL discovery of New Orleans and the New Orleans area over 2 days. He is extremely knowledgeable in the history, architecture and the before and after of Katrina. Dominick picked us up at the river boat landing where we disembarked from the Queen of the Mississippi and took us to our hotel, 2 full days of touring including the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, the City in General, Destrehan Plantation, a couple short Jazz performances, the best restaurants ever and then took us to the airport for our departure. Simply a wonderful experience that we cannot stop talking about. Of course it is in the guide: Dominick Musso is FANTASTIC!!

      Dominick is extremely informative and did a great job keeping our young children engaged! He was prompt in picking us up from our home, and willing to work with us to tailor the tour to our young children. It is apparent from the moment you meet him, that the next 7-8 hours were money well spent!
