    Given that my husband and I were tourists, we got turned around a bit, as for the actual meeting place for the tour. However, once we received proper instructions, we were all set. The people of New Orleans are SO hospitable. Our tour guide, Virgil,was so delightfully friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city, and exuded a fun, lighthearted personality throughout.
