This is the one ... by far this is the best and most comprehensive tour of Biloxi. Owner/guide Miss Carla starts with the basic history and important homes of this fascinating city. She then reveals the true story of the devastaing effects of Hurricane Katrina that was not reported by the national media. If nothing else, go on this one... More

I had planned to use my camcorder on the tour to film for my friends and family so they could see all that I saw. At the beginning of the tour we were told filming is not allowed because if it was put on YouTube no one would take the tour. I doubt that, but OK. I was not going... More

We took the opportunity to see Biloxi up close on the tour bus operated by Carla. She was very informative and friendly. A lot of the locals seem to know and like her, and she seems to have a deep love for her little town. She has a great sense of humor, and gives a good tour which is 2... More

The guide "Ms Taconi" was excellent! You could tell how passionate she was about the history of her hometown. Lots of history, too bad Katrina took so many of the building that should also be on the tour.

Called Carla to see if She would pick us up at the Beau Rivage and she said no problem. Carla is a great ambassador for the city of Biloxi. It seems that She knew everyone that we passed by that was either working or sitting outside. It was sad to see the empty lots and boarded up building that were... More

The tour is a jeep pulled by two carts, so wear warm clothing if it's chilly outside. The guide is great and introduced herself with the southern charm you would expect in Biloxi. She also provided us with blankets. The tour is about 90 minutes and she guides through the city with ease encouraging us to wave to the locals... More

We were very lucky the day we took the "Shrimp Train Tour". Lucky because the weather was absolutely beautiful for February, and lucky because Carla took her little train out of winter hibernation for a ride! My honey and I were visiting the Welcome Center when a lady seated on the front row of the train called out for us... More

Although not normally running this time of year due to the weather, this open-air tour experience was the best!!! Carla gave us a 2 hour tour for 13.00 each and provided blankets and a bathroom stop, Her knowledge is incredible and she knows everyone in town, including the animals/ pets!!!! She gave past history as well as Katrina updates!! This... More

I organized a reunion in Biloxi for my dad's World War II flying squadron, and the train tour was the highlight of the event. Everyone was still talking about the wonderful time they had two days later. Carla came to our hotel and picked us up, then brought us back when the tour was over. She entertained and educated, and... More
