Two Chicks Walking Tours

I love the tours offered by Two Chicks Walking Tours, but as much as the tours themselves I appreciate the way my friend Christine Miller has built her business. Christine loves and cares about her customers, the people she works with, and the city of New Orleans.

In addition to being long time sponsors of the Beyond Bourbon Street podcast the crew at Two Chicks Walking Tours has earned attention in numerous international publications including Glamour, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, The Sunday Times travel Magazine, and US News and World Report among others

Two Chicks small group tours include the ever popular Garden District Tour, signature tours such as DEAD Sexy, and Brothels, Bordellos and Ladies of the Night. And their classic the French Quarter and St. Louis Cemetery tours. They also offer private tours that can be customized just for your group.

Two Chicks employs guides that are published authors, local artists and really engaged New Orleanians.

Whatever you choose, know you will be in great hands and will have a wonderful time. The team at Two Chicks is continually learning more about New Orleans which means the tours are constantly evolving. Use code BEYOND and save 15%. twochickswalkingtours.com
