The French Quarter has always belonged to its women—painted or pious, dangerous or divine, sometimes all at once. We reveal the fiercely complex women who shaped the heart of New Orleans. Their names echo like hymns and hexes: Baroness Pontalba, Elizabeth Werlein, Madame LaLaurie, Marie Laveau, Saint Frances Cabrini, & Rose Nicaud. The Baroness de Pontalba, who stamped her initials—and her vision—into the architecture of Jackson Square. Her story is one of defiance and civic rebirth. The preservationist fire of Elizabeth Werlein - this woman's fire saved rather than destroyed. Madame LaLaurie's horrors told not through haunted legend, but the cruelty of racial violence cloaked in wealth and elegance laid bare. Marie Laveau—Voodoo Queen, healer, mystic, and more. Rose Nicaud, once-enslaved, she carved out a life selling coffee —one of the city’s first Black, female entrepreneurs. Women who didn’t just live in New Orleans. They built her, saw her broken, and resurrected her.

The Night is ruled by supernatural beings, but what about the Day? Most supernatural history tours are nighttime events. We believe the Day is as mesmerizing and fascinating as anything that happens in the darkest hours. Join us as we stroll the French Quarter in broad daylight exploring its darkest parts in a completely different light. We will stand in front of houses with macabre histories, “feel the air” of one of the most violent, dangerous streets to ever exist in the US, and find ourselves horrified by the actual history of disease, violence, and inhumanity in the Crescent City. DayWalkers we will be. Join us for your walk on the dark side in the sunlight!

Inside the park we’ll take time to stroll amongst the majestic live oaks and sample some beignets & café au lait. These are the best beignets in the city - trust us!

Pork Butt Cabaret: Tastings and Music in the French Quarter

Throughout the evening, your host serves up the stories behind the food: Cajun boucheries, cochon de lait parties, the history of cracklin’, Louisiana sugar cane, and the generations of cooks who figured out that almost every part of a pig could become something delicious.

A slightly outrageous, thoroughly New Orleans supper club filled with Louisiana food, live local music, storytelling, and good company—where the portions are generous, the music is lively, the stories get better as the evening goes on, and the pig is always the star of the show.

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

lichuan_e, Aug 2026

Great food and learn about new orleans

Food was delicious and plentiful. Jack was a great guide with a wealth of information and kept the tone light, friendly, and fun. We’ve been on many food tours and this one was well organized, and one of the best we have been on. The only complaint was we had booked for 9:30am and Viator did not notify us that the tour company had canceled due to too few people and the tour had been moved to 10:30.

Airboat Swamp Tour

Phong_N, Aug 2026

Worth it

I had a great experience on this airboat swamp tour! Our guide was incredibly nice and shared his vast knowledge about alligators throughout the trip. You could really tell that he genuinely cares about the gators and treats them and their environment with a lot of respect. The airboat ride itself was a blast too. When we picked up speed, the guide would drive side to side and make the ride even more exciting. It was a lot of fun and definitely one of the highlights of my trip near New Orleans. Highly recommend!

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour

Clarissa_B, Aug 2026

Very informative & so...

Very informative & so interesting to see the cemetery and hear the stories of those who are resting there! It was a little hot, but that’s to be expected in August at 3pm; the tour was well prepared with misting tents at different areas of the cemetery.

Great experience. Pick...

Great experience. Pick up and return to hotel, comfortable coach with good AC especially appreciated since it was August and 107 degrees with humidity. Tyra is a wonderful guide, we especially liked her personal details of living in New Orleans through Hurricane Katrina. Would recommend this tour.

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure

GARNETTA_S, Aug 2026

From the boat ride, the alligators, the hopping & jumping fish and shrimps, the baby raccoons, the white birds & THE RIDE DOWN THE BAYOU, and Where THE PRINCEES &THE FROG MOVIE is made from is GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER. WE REALLY enjoyed The Tour

Adults-Only New Orleans Ghost, Crime, Voodoo, and Vampire Tour

Grace_C, Aug 2026

Being a Tourist Who Loves History

John was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging! He prepped all before starting (get water!) and made sure everyone was aware of what was expected (from the guide and the guidees) before we got started. Absolutely appreciate how he acknowledged Ma. Laveau as the incredible woman she was. John was factual. He acknowledged lore and mythology about the area/people, yet kept a healthy sense of skepticism about them. Absolutely recommend!!

New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour

Stacey_S, Aug 2026

Great Walking Tour with History and Ghosts

This was a great tour for the evening in New Orleans. The walking is nice and the tour guide, Catie, was informative with good interpersonal skills. It’s wasn’t just listening to someone who was knowledgeable with no personality. It was a great way to learn about some of New Orleans history.

Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium Ticket

T_B, Aug 2026

Viator is my new best friend!

The aquarium was great and there was much to see. Went here on a date and I think my date liked it more than me lol! It was perfect and finding these tickets cheaper on Viator was a steal! So happy I kept looking for discounts. These tickets gave me no trouble at all which was something I was worried about, but the QR code worked just fine. 10/10 do recommend!

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure with Transportation

Darla_C, Aug 2026

This is a MUST do on your trip!

Transportation over to the Swamp Tour was entertaining and comfortable. We were picked up in front of our hotel as scheduled and dropped off on time. Our transportation driver Lorraine was very informative about New Orleans history and took all questions about places to go and eat while we were visiting her city. I hope you get to ride with her! The Swamp Tour was fascinating! Captain Trey seemed to know about each of the alligators personalities, especially the one they named Crackhead. The Captain baited the alligators with marshmallows so we could get a closer look at them! I hope you do decide to go - well worth every dollar!!

Large Airboat Swamp Tour with Transportation from New Orleans

Annette_K, Aug 2026

Airboat swamp tour

Dewey was our airboat operator and guide. He was very knowledgeable and knew where the gators would be. We saw probably 25-30 gators, raccoons and an owl. He brought along his baby alligator and let everyone hold it. 🥰. Totally fun trip and worth the $$! The bus driver was super nice and told us a lot of history and pointed out many sights on the bus to the swamp. Highly recommend!

Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Sarah_T, Aug 2026

Recommended combined plantation & swamp tour that can be done in 1 day

Provided by Grayline tours Nee Orleans. Coach trip firstly to plantation - we chose Oak Alley. Lovely drive along the River Road. Plantation is great - actually had longer than we thought we’d get - 2.5 hrs. Had a timed entry tour of the ‘big’ house - took about 30 mins. Plenty of time to explore outer areas of the plantation, including the slave housing, the cafe is lovely & the gift shop worth a visit. Following this we were taken to the Cajun Pride Swamp tour company. Excellent swamp tour where we saw plenty of Alligators, Raccoons & Hogs. Our captain was brilliant - great humour & good knowledge of swamps. Our bus tour guide was lovely but we found the commentary a little difficult to follow as it was slightly disjointed & lacked clear flow. However, her knowledge was clear & we still learned a lot.
