New Orleans Airboat Ride

Sharon_B, Nov 2026

Fantastic trip

From the moment I booked to the day of the activity, the communication has been outstanding. Every member of staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. Our captain (captain tik tok), was fantastic, very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The experience was far better than we had anticipated, we saw (and fed) a lot of alligators. The scenery was breathtaking. Riding on airboat was such fun. By far the best experience I have ever had. I fully recommend everyone to take airboat adventures, and see the alligators, you will not be disappointed

New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour

Jill_H, Nov 2026

Excellent Tour & Guide

We went with Tony & he is 10 out of 10. Unlike a different tour, with a different company we did, Tony kept an easy pace, gave everyone a 15 minute break (which was very much needed); Tony made sure that the tour group was together (also unlike the other tour group) & even in the busiest areas, you could easily spot Tony by his umbrella. He has a tone that kept your attention and was extremely informative. Hands down the best tour guide we've had.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour

Chanda_D, Nov 2026

Awesome

Our guide was an older woman who prayed before starting the tour. It was for protection for the tour group and herself. The tour was so informative. This was my second time doing this tour. I didn’t realize how bad the tour guide from last year was until we had Mama Nita this year. So knowledgeable! I have visited New Orleans 9 times now and she gave me new information that I never knew! Loved her and the tour.

Awesome/Informative tour. Just do it!!

We enjoyed this tour so much (beside a downpour right as we were on our way back. We got drenched!) Can’t control nature though. Dewie was absolutely ah-mazing! We learned so much about gators on this tour. We even got to see quite a few of them while we were out there. If you’re in the area visiting, I would definitely recommend you take this tour

New Orleans City Tour: French Quarter, Garden District & Cemetery

Wendy_W, Oct 2026

Amazing Tour !

Booked this excursion last minute and so glad we did ! There is so much information packed into 1 3 hour tour it was amazing ! Our guide was Gary, I had seen reviews on him and if you are lucky enough to get him as you guide you are in for a treat! He was so informational and if you are like I was you think of New Orleans and Bourbon Street and Jazz … but there is SOOO much to this amazing city ! We were so impressed that we will be back for longer so we can explore the different areas more completely 🙌.

Amazing time and enjoyable experience!

We had an amazing time with Lemen! He definitely kept my daughter and me spooked with his incredible knowledge of the French Quarter’s history and fascinating vampire theories. We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and especially appreciate him taking such wonderful care of Norma, the horse. It was an unforgettable experience!

New Orleans City Tour: History, City Park, Cemeteries, Food tips.

Betty_H, Oct 2026

Fabulous Tour

This tour was excellent! It was well organized, detailed yet concise, and comfortable to take part in. Cynthia, our guide, provided a wealth of information that highlighted the areas of interest that were included. We’ve been regular visitors to New Orleans for over forty years and had already done numerous tours of the city. This one was better than any of the others! Having a guide in addition to a driver (Carl, who was excellent as well) made it possible for each to remain focused on their specializations. Cynthia’s knowledge of the city allowed her delivery to be natural and her voice quality and diction made her easy to understand….even for ol’ codgers like us whose hearing has waned. I highly recommend this tour!

Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Lucy_T, Oct 2026

Not one to miss if you’re visiting New Orleans!

An excellent day with Kate as our tour guide and Cindy as our driver. Our boat captain Dustin was also wonderful. It was a really informative trip and there was plenty of time for wandering and exploring both the plantation and Cajun Pride. In the plantation, we got to see the beautiful gardens, planter’s house and slave houses with guides who talked us through life on the plantation. On the river cruise, we saw loads of alligators (all different sizes/ages), raccoons, turtles and wild boars. Our captain told stories and jokes, then surprised us at the end with a tiny, baby alligator to hold! A truly brilliant experience.

Cemetery and Ghost BYOB Bus Tour in New Orleans

Jacqulyn_D, Oct 2026

Fantastic! Take the tour!

My husband and I did it. Our tour guide, Roy, was AWESOME! This was so informative and FUN! Highly Recommend! If you're on the fence about doing a tour... Do this one! The bus was a smaller white hotel like bus with AC (very nice compared to the walking tours)! It also allowed for a smaller group of about 20 people. And did I mention our guide Roy was AWESOME! He was professional, funny, respectful, courteous and family friendly (people on our bus had children with them). He provided a great tour with history, lure and information. 10 out of 10 Recommend!
