Angelique was be BEST tour guide we’ve ever had on a tour and we’ve done ALOT of tours. We are from Louisiana near New Orleans and have done many many in New Orleans and Angelique still gave the very best. Her personality is absolutely perfect. She is precious and really takes her time to make sure everyone is by the group and can hear before she starts talking again. Her story telling is SO interesting to listen to. We were captivated the entire time. You can tell she knows and enjoys her Old Louisville history! Cannot say enough good about Angelique and this tour! I HIGHLY recommend it!!
