I had a great time and learned a ton about New Orleans on my walking tour with Ernie. It was just me and one other guest–so it really felt like a conversation! Ernie does not just deliver cemetery info, but an entire NOLA history lesson. He knows the city inside and out and lives in the French Quarter. Highly recommend Ernie’s Tours. Wear sunscreen, bring water, and prepare to pay attention! The man talks fast. Thanks Ernie!

Horrible! Do not get him. I came all the way from NY. Booked him. I showed up at 10:30am. He was a no show no call. I called him over 10 times he never picked up. Emailed him. No answer. I was so upset because I had my whole day planned out. Now I don’t even know what to do. I then called him from a different number to see if he picked up and he did. He just basically said that he didn’t see anyone and left. This is so unprofessional of him. I’m very upset he would mess this part up of my trip like this. That’s just wrong.
