What are people saying about New Orleans

Gene_T, Jun 2026

If you take this trip, Ask for Randy - he’s awesome

Others have said this trip is 4 miles. It’s not. It’s maybe 1 mile - I tracked it with my watch. Trip starts at the voodoo lounge, a joint open 24 hours a day. You get bogo hurricane drinks all day with your wrist band, but the drinks are fairly priced without the deal. Randy was our tour guide and was really just great. He grew up in the south and has been in NOLA for a bit now. He was winsome and inviting, had a great pace verbally and physically through the tour. He also made the trip colorful with some inside knowledge and personal stories. We walked by other tour guides of other tours, and I can tell you that without a doubt, Randy was light years ahead of many of these other folks. Randy also gave some recommendations of what to see and where to go that we wouldn’t have thought to look for or search beforehand. Great tour and great tour guide!

The highlight of our trip!

Our tour was fantastic! Lesley, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, telling us interesting stories and sharing the history of the city and the Garden District. The walk was perfectly paced, with a final stop in a lovely air conditioned shopping area. Lesley pointed out architectural details we would not have noticed ourselves. We could have just walked around the neighborhood, but hearing about the houses, the city, and its residents made it so much more special. This was a highlight of our trip to New Orleans!

Amusingly Informative

We went to the 4pm tour. It was raining off and on with Tropical Storm Arthur lingering but it was so warm that the rain was refreshing. My kids liked it too, tho the rain irritated them because of their pretty hair lol -The guy that gave the tour taught more than I expected- a lot of things I didn’t know and he did it with humor. Each of the kids asked questions and were interested which takes a lot of skill. It was a nice time.

Loved the whole experience! "J" is amazing!

Walking and standing. Guild walkes the group to a spot, gathers all people, then starts narration. This allows for you to pay attention to both walking and the information. We loved "J"! She was very informative but more over she was funny and wanted us to have fun. She used person to person interactions to draw us into the stories. We passed other groups that did not seem to be having as much fun as us.

June 2026 Carriage Tour

Our tour guide was amazing! The way he told the stories was very interesting. He kept us all involved. Toward the end I of our you, he even asked if any of us needed to use a bathroom. Three of us needed a bathroom (I felt very grateful) so we hopped off, used the bathroom and hopped back on. This was my third carriage tour and all were wonderful. This was my very favorite one.

New Orleans Cemetery Walking Tour

Our guide, Vee was very...

Our guide, Vee was very personable and had a strong knowledge of the history of New Orleans and the challenge of taking care of deceased folks in the region. She was very authentic and enthusiastic about burial history and traditions in New Orleans. I enjoyed her respect for the dead and her superstitious side, including knocking before entering cemeteries and walking backward on the way out through gates.
