About Doctor Gumbo Tours

Ever been on a boring tour? Dylan O’Donnell, aka Doctor Gumbo, has too. Which is why Doctor Gumbo Tours are designed to be informative, engaging and most importantly: fun! A New Orleans native and former tour operator in Rome, Italy, his mission is to deliver the cure for the common tour.

What does that mean for you?

It means a passionate tour guide, fun facts you’ll actually remember, sites off the beaten path, local knowledge with world perspective, and a tour experience that’s more like a mobile social event than a flavorless death march from one old pile of bricks to the next. This is not your grandmother’s tour (unless your grandmother likes Jack Kerouac). These are Doctor Gumbo Tours…the cure for the common tour!
