I won't lie I did not want to do this but my wife always knows better in these situations and convinced me to do it. Our driver was Mike, from New England, and his mule was Footloose (great name). We took a half hour trot around the French Quarter. Mike gave us a ton of history about the various portions and took whatever questions we had. It was admittedly fun to see the city in such a way. We enjoyed ourselves and I honestly did not want it to end. It is worth it.
