Amazing Bayou Adventure with Captain Anthony!

We had such a fantastic time on our swamp and bayou tour! Captain Anthony was brilliant; really friendly, knowledgeable and informative throughout the trip. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience and even tried really hard to get us into the best spots for some amazing photos. We saw lots of alligators and even some raccoons, which was brilliant! We absolutely loved being out on the bayou, exploring the swamp and taking in the beautiful scenery. It was a fun and memorable experience for all the family. Would definitely recommend this tour, and a huge thank you to Captain Anthony for making it so enjoyable!

Adults-Only Garden District, Cemetery & Anne Rice True Crime Tour

Thomas_G, Aug 2026

Go ahead and book it!

Our tour guide, Kelsey, was very knowledgeable about local history and pop culture references, including Trent Reznor, John Goodman, and Anne Rice. The Garden District is beautiful and, even though today was really hot, there was tons of shade provides by the gorgeous live oaks. We learned more than a few new things about New Orleans on this tour. I highly recommend for anyone with good taste :)

City Tour of New Orleans with Pickup

Relaxing City Tour

We had a great experience on the New Orleans City Tour and we booked it last minute! The pickup and drop-off were right on time, which made everything easy and stress-free. Our driver was friendly, engaging, and kept the tour interesting by sharing fun facts and local history throughout the ride. The only minor downside was that the bus was a little warm at times, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Visiting the cemetery and city park were my favorite stops. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the highlights of New Orleans with a knowledgeable and personable guide. Would loved to have seen some of the sites affected most by Katrina as well.

New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour

Nedra_W, Jul 2026

Excellent!

This tour was the best! We got to learn about lesser known pieces of true history, not just fictional “ghost” stories for entertainment. Kate was an engaging and entertaining tour guide. The owner Christo accompanied us on our tour and he was very personable. We actually had a small medical emergency at the end of the tour, and both Christo and Kate stayed with us until EMS evaluated and gave us the all-clear. Then Christo even reached out to us the next day to offer additional assistance while we are in the city. A great tour and even better people! Thank you, Kate & Christo!
