My experience with Paul Angelica’s NOLA’s BIG 4 PRIVATE CITY TOUR truly stood out because of the personalized touch Paul added to every aspect of the journey. Right from the start, Paul made an effort to understand my interests and what I hoped to get out of the tour, tailoring the itinerary to suit my preferences. What really made the tour special was Paul’s knack for blending personal stories with a deep knowledge of New Orleans’ history. This approach brought each location to life in a way that was both informative and deeply engaging, making me feel a connection to the places we visited that went beyond the surface. Paul’s flexibility throughout the tour was also a highlight. He was always willing to spend extra time at spots that caught my interest or to adjust the pace of the tour to suit my comfort. This level of personalization allowed for unexpected discoveries and opportunities to delve deeper into the city’s less explored nooks and crannies, enriching my experience. Additionally, Paul’s insights extended beyond the tour itself. He provided tailored recommendations for local eateries, entertainment, and off-the-beaten-path attractions, enhancing my visit to New Orleans. These suggestions were perfectly aligned with my tastes and interests, allowing me to experience the city like a local. Overall, the tour with Paul was more than just a sightseeing experience; it was a personalized adventure through the heart of New Orleans. Paul’s extensive knowledge, genuine enthusiasm, and the customized approach left a lasting impression on me, turning my visit into an unforgettable exploration of the city’s rich culture and history.

One of the first things I recommend you do in New Orleans is TAKE A TOUR! This will acclimate you and help you understand New Orleans. I designed my NOLA BIG 4 tour to do 3 things for my guests: First, my tour is Fact-Based and comprehensive, designed to educate you about the history, culture and people of this unique city. This is NOT a ghost tour. The day I am able to contact a ghost and introduce them to you will be the day I start giving ghost tours. Second, we will visit the (French Quarter, Garden District, City Park & Metairie Cemetery) 4 of the 74 official neighborhoods in New Orleans. The French Quarter is considered the heart and soul of the city but, I will bring you out of the French Quarter to explore 3 other areas of the city that most people don’t even know exist. Finally, within a couple of hours with me, you will be armed with valuable information to effectively plan and maximize your stay in this over 300 year old crown jewel I call home, NEW ORLEANS!
