Best NOLA Walking Tour

I'm going to New Orleans next week and am interested in talking a walking tour. I've done the Garden District walking tour and a "Ghost Hunter" tour in the Quarter. Which company or tours do you recommend for one that includes more facts and history than theatrics?

We've gone on 2 tours with the Historic New Orleans Walking Tour Co and they were great - we took the French Quarter tour and the Cemetery and Voodoo tour. The guides were quite knowlegable. We learned a ton on both tours.

My husband and I took the Southern Comfort Walking Tour through Greyline once, and we are actually doing it again if it still exists. I think they have changed the name to Cocktail Walking Tour. We learned more darn history of the city in that tour (and got to visit VERY old bars and sample some great drinks)than we have in all our previous visits combined!
