What are people saying about New Orleans

Susan_C, Oct 2026

The walk was great and...

The walk was great and Deanna is amazing. She did a great job of explaining everything and keeping us away from the crowds so we could hear her. I walked away with a lot more knowledge (especially about the vampires) than I went in with. Thanks so much!

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour

Emily_P, Oct 2026

This tour was very...

This tour was very respectful and very informative. We went on 10/26 at 9 a.m. I can’t remember the name of the guide (I really wish I did, because he was great, this is why I left time and date, to give credit where credit is due!). He was honest about what facts could or couldn’t be confirmed. He also had a great sense of humor. It is sad to see the damage incurred over the years. I am glad things are being protected. Great tour!

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure

DeeDee_I, Oct 2026

Alligator Habitats

The experience was very educational. I found out a lot about alligators and their habits. The tour guide was amazing. The swamps didn’t stink and the ocean was beautiful. This was well worth the trip. I would most definitely recommend this one to anyone who wants to do a tour.

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

Milissa_M, Oct 2026

Worth you time!

The tour guide was amazing! Not only did she have the most pleasant voice that you could hear but she was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned an incredible amount during the tour and yet it was fun , engaging, and at times heartfelt. Also she drove the bus while doing all of the above! Not one single horn honk, stopping fast, getting too close to a car...it was smooth sailing! I would give a 100 stars if I could! Great job!!

New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure with Transportation

Naomi_W, Oct 2026

Captain Ernie made my day!

Captain Ernie blew my expectations. I don’t usually take tours cause it feels…”so touristy”… I was wrong. Captain Ernie was knowledgeable and funny and encouraged questions. He’s an educator and a lover of his homeland. Such a wealth of information! And all delivered in a beautiful setting on a boat!!! Hot Tip: Captain Ernie says it’s best in May if you want to see mating. I was here in October and the late afternoon light was georgeous.

Felicia_H, Oct 2026

Great way to start our visit to New Orleans

We’ve learned that a foodie tour is one of the best ways to get an overview of the tastes, sights, and history of a new place. This tour did not disappoint. Susan, our guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and set a perfect pace. The food selections were delicious and we could tell she had a great relationship with the vendors we visited. Would definitely recommend doing this tour early in your visit to New Orleans so you know where you want to go back to and can take advantage of Susan’s recommendations for places to visit.

New Orleans Airboat Ride

Kathy_M, Oct 2026

Great experience all...

Great experience all together. From the ride on the bus with Trina ,to checking in, to getting on the airboat with Steve. Steve made the boat ride fun as well as a learning experience due to his knowledge of the swamps and all the waterways through the area, including all of the animals that live there. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants a true Louisiana experience. We will treasure this memory!

After Dark Haunted New Orleans City and Cemetery Bus Tour

Amy_K, Oct 2026

Take this tour. The best night tour in NOLA in my experience.

After a terrible experience on another tour the night before, I was crossing my fingers that this would be better. And it absolutely was. John? The guide was engaging, informative, funny and a wealth of information for this experience. I would recommend it and I would even take this tour again. This tour included a stop for beignets and drinks (and a bathroom) . It's cash only so come prepared, but worth it for a little snack.

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!
