Top New Orleans Walking Tours

We had an amazing experience. We learned about the history, culture and the supernatural all at once through our experienced tour guide Orion. He is a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about the historical aspects of the city. We really appreciated his style of storytelling and his candor.

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!

I was very happy with the tour all around. I felt the selection was balanced, the distance was fine & our guide, Beth, was amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge, not only about NOLA, but every state each tour participant was from, she knew some tidbit of history. Really enjoyed all the information we learned. Will I remember it? Hopefully, but it was a lot. We had a vegetarian in our group & each establishment catered to his needs. The first restaurant was very nice, it was at the meeting spot 3rd Block Depot. We ate chicken & sausage gumbo. I didn’t think I liked gumbo, but it was good. Then we were off the Pepper Palace. We had ice cream with spicy sauce. It was hot! Then we went to Leah’s Prailine. The brittle was so good I had to buy some. The toNola Poboys. We had catfish poboy, boudin ball (very good) and muffeletta. Then to to Creole Cookery. The restaurant was so nice inside. Ate beans & rice and bananas foster. Both were very good. I had zero Complaints & would recommend.

Watch the weather report before you leave. We had a downpour at the end of our tour. I was grateful for my umbrella and raincoat. There is a very sweet cafe LePetite Blue at the end of the tour. Highly recommend Great tour guide. Loved the historic mansions and live oaks

Our Tour Guide Cynthia was very knowledgeable and a great host. She made everything seem so right on the moment as if though she was reading a book and bringing the story to life. She answered questions swiftly and was very articulate. Our Girls Trip was a success because of her.

Great way to see the city!! Gary is probably the best driver I’ve ever had the experience with riding with. He drives that bus so smoothly. Ellen, Jamie and Logan are exceptional guides loaded with information! A definite must do when visiting the city!

Raffle was an excellent guide! Not only did he explain the history of food dishes in New Orleans but tons of overall city history. The restaurants we went to provided excellent samples of dishes, excellent service and were all very clean. We plan to try full meals at some of them. Highly recommend

Val was a phenomenal tour guide on the Original New Orleans Cocktail tour. She was fun, knowledgeable and introduced us to new Cocktails and info about the ingredients amd the liquor being used. We walked around the French Quarter and were able to learn so much history here as well. I highly recommend this if you want to try some real New Orleans cocktails and good history.
