The Best New Orleans Tour

Christopher_B, Mar 2026

Our tour operator Anna was fantastic. Not only did she give us a preview on the stops and activities we would be embarking on. She gave us a thorough description of every area we drove through or stopped at. I had researched a lot of other tours and Tours by Isabelle had the most consistent remarks and ratings. We came to New Orleans with a large group and when comparing tours others had taken for various reasons the consensus was we had the best one. Hats off to Isabelle as well as Anna. Great job!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

WOW ! Thank you! You make my day! I will share this with Anna! Please come back to visit us soon... Cordially, Isabelle C.

New Orleans tour at its Finest.

Kathyrn_M, Mar 2025

We did this excursion first, upon arriving in NOLA, we all agreed the best choice, by far, giving us a lay of the land, spots we would go back to, and visit. Muriel, our guide, was very knowledgeable, providing state and city history, the cemeteries and how they are utilized, architecture, pre- and post-Katrina; we were amazed at the size and the role Lake Pontchartrain played in the hurricane. We hit Cafe Du mode for beignets and a visit! The bus has AC, comfortable, with large viewing windows, comfortable ride. Our guide Muriel's French accent (easy to understand) topped off an amazing outing. Thank you to Isabelle for your top-notch customer service.

Great tour and flexible host

If you are taking a private tour during Mardis gras and staying in a hotel in The box of the parade zone then you will need to closely coordinate times and locations for pick up and drop off and some parts of the tour will have to be customized to avoid the traffic and the road closures.

Un must pour connaître la ville

Jose_S, Jan 2024

Notre guide, Gisèle, fut dynamique, chaleureuse et drôle. Elle a une bonne connaissance de l’histoire et de la ville. Cette visite est un must pour connaître la ville. À faire au début du séjour, Gisèle a de belles suggestions de restaurant, de bar pour aller voir des bands.
