“Spent our first morning in New Orleans on this amazing tour which took us all around the city. Our guide Joseph was SO informative with lots of history, architectural details, and cultural insights. We were able to check some things off of our bucket list (seeing the different neighborhoods and districts, a cemetery, and sampling beignets,) gained a lot of insights into the history of the city and the aftermath of hurricane Katrina (including seeing where one of the levees breached and a house that was turned into a museum of sorts), and also got a good sense of different places we want to explore further. Had we only had…”

“Booked this NOLA tour for my mom’s birthday. Pensacola girls hitting the Big Easy! Let me tell you, it did *not* disappoint. Our guide was a total gem: funny, sharp, and clearly knew every inch of the city (and probably some ghosts too). We hit all the highlights without feeling like tourists lost in a brochure. My mom was living her best life: beignets in hand, jazz in the air, soaking up the history like a queen. 10/10 would do it again… maybe next year, if Mom insists (she will).”

“Our tour guide Derek was quite the director. It seemed that everywhere we went, French Quarter, various neighborhoods around there, Cemetery where the Voodoo 🧹 was buried, NOLO City Park which is incredible over to the Garden District. Oh to have enough time to walk in those neighborhoods. Derek is an amazing guide and as it turns out a history buff and a foodie. If I believed in reincarnation maybe I would come back as the Derek. My wife and I had a great experience and wish we would have done this tour on our first day and not the last.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 446 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $88

“Robert was our city tour guide and was FANTASTIC! Very knowledgeable and made the experience more personal. We learned more than we expected and would recommend it to anyone that asks. Paddle Natchez boat tour was fun but somewhat uneventful. We’re glad we did it but probably would not go again. Overall, the combination of both tours were worth the money with the city tour being the best.”
