Thinking about gifting the Soul of New Orleans tour – any insights?

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Soul of New Orleans tour to my brother who's really into history and culture. I heard it covers everything from the Haitian Revolution to modern-day issues. Do you think he’d enjoy it, and what was your experience like? I’m also curious about the guide’s knowledge level!

Soul of New Orleans tour experience – worth it?

I just did the Soul of New Orleans tour with 2nd Line Tours and wow! It really opened my eyes to the history of Black culture in the city. We walked through Treme and Jackson Square, which was super cool. I’m thinking of doing it again with friends who are visiting next month. Has anyone else been on it recently?
