Top New Orleans Walking Tours - page 5

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.

This is a walking tour! Be prepared and wear the correct shoes. We learned so much about the history of the beautiful city, and had some spooks along the way. It’s one of the best ways to explore the French quarter in New Orleans! I hope to come back and bring my husband along next time.

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

This was an outstanding tour, and our guide, Cynthia, was wonderful. It is clear how much she knows and loves New Orleans and really embraces the culture there. The tour was a good overview of the city and gave me great ideas for areas I would like to spend more time in.

Kristi Vickers with Intrepid was an outstanding guide. Born and raised in New Orleans, she brought a rich, personal perspective on the city's history and shared fascinating insights into its architecture and agricultural roots. Her food recommendations were spot-on. Highly recommend Kristi for an authentic, memorable New Orleans experience!

Its very informative and educational. The driver was a very colorful and good storyteller. My son is from Houston, so it was cool experiencing the history through him. I was born and raised in New Orleans and I learn something new every time we come home.
