"Macon Riddle…has carefully 'shopped' each antiques store and her bulging notebook lists and cross references each shop's specialties in order to provide her clientele with the most time-efficient tour possible. It's amazing, but the New Orleans shops really do have everything…"

Antiques Journal

"Macon Riddle…shares her expertise by guiding clients to shops and galleries located in the French Quarter and on Magazine Street. She often weaves her knowledge of architecture and history into her tours."

Southern Accents

"I find myself immobilized by all the choices, by what I don't know and by my fear that I'll pay big money for an 'antique' that isn't. Good thing Macon Riddle is with me. She is the best antiques shopper in New Orleans, and she is going to educate me show me around and keep me straight. Everybody who shops for antiques in New Orleans needs to spend at least a half-day with Riddle."

Lisa Reuter, The Columbus Dispatch

"For those whose time is limited, or whose interest is very specific or those who wish to simply be pampered, the New Orleans antiques scene is fortunate to have Macon Riddle…She provides both transportation and expertise as a courier/guide to the local antiques world."

Della LaRue, Victorian

"Riddle knows her way around town and has been a student of antiques all her life."

Linda Abrams, House Beautiful

"Whether you're looking for French furniture, Art Deco, pottery, 17th-through 19th-century Louisiana pieces, Native American art, dolls, clocks, jewelry, rare books, Asian art, old Paris porcelain, pearl-handled knives, dessert sets, majolica or the best places to find McCoy, Roseville and Hull pottery, she'll know just the place to find it. Riddle weaves New Orleans' long, colorful history into her shopping adventures."

William Schemmel, Art and Antiques

"Those who are particular about their treasures - but don't particularly treasure shopping around for them - can let Macon Riddle do the research."

Lilly Jackson, The Times Picayune

"…Macon doesn't just know what's in the shops - she keeps abreast of the darkened annexes and locked warehouses, too. She knows what's being stored up on that hidden third-floor corridor where nobody ever goes."

Mimi Read, Victorian

"It's kind of like having a personal trainer for your antique habit"

Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to New Orleans
