Great Experience

I had a great experience booking through Viator! The booking process was easy and straightforward, and everything was well organized from start to finish. The experience itself was enjoyable, and the communication and overall service were excellent.

Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium Ticket

Jessica_S, Sept 2026

Great Aquarium!

My partner and I had a lovely time at the aquarium and very much enjoyed their jellyfish exhibits and seeing the sting rays and penguins. We were also very pleased with the cheaper price that Viator offered. It was a fun little daytime excursion that was a nice break from the heat and humidity.

Ian_G, Sept 2026

Wow! What an experience!

It's very hard to put into words how amazing this experience was. From the history, to the staff, the jazz band, the hospitality, I could go on! Captain Robbie, what an amazing man, 51 years service and so glad I got to meet him, not only that a private tour from engine room, to stern, to bow with so much knowledge! And not to forget, my man Marlon! Without him there is no VIP! This guy knows how to host! From leading us around the boat, to seating area, to keeping us updated. And just when you think I need a drink, he just shows up! Like magic! He really takes that extra mile and makes the whole evening special. To all the staff behind the scenes, I thank you aswell. Such a magical evening, me and my wife enjoyed every minute

New Orleans Hands-On Cooking Class with Meal

Taylor_H, Aug 2026

Great Night Out!

If you are looking for a fun way to connect with food, DO THIS!!! We went to the evening hands on demonstration and were there for 3 hours and it was amazing. Chef Austin was not only knowledgeable but he was funny and engaging and we can’t wait for more of our family members to do this! We are locals (anlmost everyone else were tourists) but the size of the class was perfect and everyone was so nice. The meal and wine were DELICIOUS!!! You won’t be disappointed! My daughter in law gifted this and it was the PERFECT gift for Christmas, birthday, etc.

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!

New Orleans Spirits & Spells: Witchcraft, Voodoo, and Ghost Tour

Faith_H, Jul 2026

Amazing Tour Guide!

Our tour guide, Jay, was an absolute gem! She handled the difficult topics and locations with respect and reverence for the victims, while taking a “No B.S” approach to the events and rumors that surround them. We had a small group, and it felt like she got to know everyone to the best of her abilities and made sure to keep the atmosphere serious, yet light. She ended the tour by giving us crystals to help reset after the very dark locations and topics (rose quartz, since love is the best combatant to hate) which showed her care for our spiritual safety. Even though I went in aware of the stories, I had an amazing time! At one point she even took the time to make sure I was enjoying myself (my feet had blistered from poor shoe choice, thus I was very quiet). This was a 10/10 year experience and I appreciated Jay’s approach to the tour!

Exceptional class and meal!

Very great family, friend or spouse activity! Conner was our chef and he was excellent! So detailed and we are experienced cooks and had some great takeaways from this experience. Such an interactive class of sharing with other guests and best of all; this is the best meal we’ve had in New Orleans since we’ve been here. We truly, truly enjoyed this experience. Thank you!

Oak Alley Plantation and Swamp Boat Tour from New Orleans

Joey_M, Jun 2026

The plantation tour was...

The plantation tour was very informative. The house and grounds are beautiful. The swamp tour was my favorite part. Our guide, Captain Bobby, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and gave us quite the show with feeding marshmallows to the alligators, petting them, kissing one on the head, and picking up a baby gator. He’s the guide you want if you do this tour.
