What are people saying about New Orleans

Sue_S, Apr 2026

Amazing historical tour

We just wrapped up a haunted, crime, and voodoo tour in New Orleans with Jeremy Trager and it was so worth it. The perfect mix of spooky and fascinating, without feeling cheesy or overdone. What really stood out was the history—there’s so much depth to the stories, and our guide brought it all to life in a way that kept us completely hooked the entire time. If you’re expecting just jump scares, this isn’t it—it’s better. It’s layered with real history, local legends, and just enough eerie energy to keep things interesting. You walk away feeling like you actually learned something, while still getting that classic New Orleans haunted vibe. Highly recommend if you want an experience that’s equal parts entertaining and educational. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure with Transportation

Lydia_C, Apr 2026

Ian was a knowledgeable...

Ian was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. We learned a lot about Louisiana ecology and waterways. Highly recommend. It was an unseasonably cold day when we went and obviously even colder on the boat so be sure to dress accordingly if the weather is questionable.

New Orleans City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Linda_B, Apr 2026

Highly Recommend

The tour is a great overview of the city. Lots of information and a good way to see a lot of the city when you’re only in town for 1 day. Steve (tour guide) and George (bus driver) were awesome. Super friendly and chocked full of local history and information.

Lisa_W, Apr 2026

Awesome experience!

This tour was amazing. Our guide made sure everyone could hear and see what he was showing. The stops were creepy and very cool. The stories gave us a more personal idea of just how old the city is and what happened to people and spirits. I would go again!!!

Kendra_A, Apr 2026

Great experience, lots of...

Great experience, lots of fun! Bobby was a great guide! Very informative, had great stories, answered any questions and made sure we were all having fun. He knew all the hot spots to see all kinds of wildlife and helped make sure everyone got a chance to look and take photos of everything. Saw a bunch of gators up close and got to hold a baby one. Highly recommend and so well worth it!!

St Patrick's Cathedral, Book of Kells and Dublin Castle Tour

geri_g, Apr 2026

Great day, just book it

We started off meeting at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and that was an easy process checking in with Noel. He gave us plenty of time to experience each places. He’s very knowledgeable on the history. We also went to Dublin Castle and Trinity College and ended up at Guinness. We had a great time with the group and met some future friends. Viator has never steered me wrong with any tour.

New Orleans Food Walking Tour of the French Quarter with Small-Group Option

Meredith_M, Apr 2026

A Must Do!

This was a GREAT tour! The food was perfect samples of different restaurants and high quality. And loved the history of the food and culture. I liked that our guide, Susan, shared her experience, background and opinions. She was fantastic and helped everyone in the group connect. We did this the first day and helped guide us the rest of the trip. I would like to see more beverage (non alcoholic) options midway through as it was hot, we were walking a lot and eating and all of our water bottles were empty!

New Orleans Airboat Ride

Jennifer_S, Apr 2026

Airboat Adventures is worth it!

My mom and I went on the swamp tour with Airboat Adventures and it was the highlight of our NOLA trip! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the swamp and surrounding areas. I learned so much from him about alligators and was glad to hear they didn’t eat anything that won’t fit whole in their stomach! The process of registering and claiming our tickets was easy and efficient - overall very professional service. The 10 person boat was clean and fun. Highly recommend Airboat Adventures.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour

BRIDGET_M, Apr 2026

April 2026 tour

Took the St. Louis Cemetery tour with Willy and really enjoyed it. He was very knowledgeable and explained the history in a way that was easy to follow and engaging. What stood out most was how down-to-earth and approachable he was, it made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal rather than just another tour. Definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking to learn more about New Orleans history!

Mariana_P, Apr 2026

Truly the best swamp...

Truly the best swamp tour! My first time here in New Orleans and I booked this tour as I love alligators (I’d literally pet one if I knew it wouldn’t bite me, be so fr the swamp puppies are adorable with their little teefs) and they certainly delivered. The areas they show you are breathtakingly beautiful, I promise y’all won’t be disappointed !
