Dom Musso did not just give us a tour throughout NOLA; he gave us a truly unforgettable experience.

Dominic Musso was great guide. One of the best Viator guides we have had over the years. He was very familiar with New Orleans and was very organized.

Dominick picked us up at the dock of The American Cruise Lines. He is a native and very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of information about the history of New Orleans. He found the perfect place for lunch. He found the perfect shops for souvenirs. He loves New Orleans and shared that love of the city with us. He was completely trustworthy, polite and friendly. Thank You Dominick.

We found Dominick M. on tour by locals. After spending a day with him, we understand way he consistently gets five star reviews. He is knowledgeable, interesting, and very likable. Our group of nine had arranged a half day walking tour of the French Quarter, and a half day tour of the city by private van. He provided an informative commentary during the entire day

I reached out to Dominick in the early stages of planning a trip to New Orleans given the numerous positive reviews. I was delighted to learn he could customize a full day tour for four of us on our first full day in the city. He recommended incorporating a morning of walking throughout the French Quarter, learning about the history, and then after lunch, hop in a van and take in the Garden District, a traditional NOLA cemetery and travel through areas impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Communication between booking and hotel pick-up was excellent. Customer service was excellent, and I was never in any doubt that he would ‘be there’ for us. Dominick also gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations and helped us decide which plantations to visit, and what else we could do on our remaining days in New Orleans. His personal touch was engaging and heartfelt. Great resource for ‘the best’ places to visit Seeing both the traditional and the non-traditional made for an impactful day, which consequently was the BEST day from our entire trip! Dominick is intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable about his native New Orleans. He was also a lot of fun, sharing comical stories about his Mardi Gras involvement and parade/float building/riding experiences. He weaves his stories into the sightseeing experience in such a way that you embrace New Orleans and its people. We all came away with an appreciation for his ability to give a broad perspective of the area’s history, both long ago and more recent. I highly recommend you connect with Dominick early as his calendar books quickly. Thank you, Dominick!

<p>We were lucky enough to get Dominick for our tour. His knowledge of both the early and recent history of New Orleans was phenomenal. As someone who was born and raised there he related personal anecdotes that enhanced the tour. This tour was well worth the cost and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the city.</p>
