We just back form our first trip to New Orleans. We visited the musium and did the walking tour with Sarah, she was great, she kept it informative and interesting. If your into history and architecture, this is a must do. John Odell Las Vegas, Nv. 05/10/08

History Buffs Beware!
By TushannaB, 07/27/06
History Buffs Beware! Tour info says a couple of hours to see it. My husband and I were there of 6 hrs, and we still did not get to the final floor. The place is massive, and has more information than can be absorbed in a day. A great place to learn about LA hisory!
