Excellent, insightful small group tour - We had a wonderful time on our tour! We happened to be visiting New Orleans during a cold spell, so we were the only 2 people, and Dannal was great. The stories were fantastic, and we appreciated that a ton of women’s history was included.

Take This Tour - Kyran was our guide. We had a wonderful time exploring the French Quarter. Loved hearing all the interesting historical facts. You could tell that she loves New Orleans and also gave us good suggestions of where else to explore. I highly recommend this tour. On time, well run and very enjoyable. It was recommended by my nephew and his wife who were in New Orleans a few months before us.

Wonderful! - Fabulous walking tour with Karen. She was so knowledgeable about the history, architecture and area! And, importantly, she made sure we stayed in the shade.

Lovely way to see the French Quarter on a different way. - We had taken this company's Garden District Tour and enjoyed it so much, we booked this one the very next day. We saw some great things that we never would have seen otherwise. Not going to give away any secrets, so book as soon as you can.

Another great experience - We enjoyed our Garden District tour so much, we booked this for the next day. Fascinating look at different aspects of the French Quarter that we knew nothing about. And our guide recommended a great museum which we went to later in the day.

Wish We Had Booked Tour with Another Company - My wife and I took both the Garden District and French Quarter walking tours on February 12 and 13, 2026. I’ve taken many walking/history tours in both areas over the years and booked these hoping my wife could enjoy the kind of animated, immersive storytelling that makes you feel transported to the time and place.
That isn’t what we experienced. On both tours we walked about 1.5–1.7 miles with long stretches of near silence, then stopped at roughly 10–12 locations for a brief, fairly dry explanation followed by “any questions?” A significant portion of the content—about half—was repeated across the two tours, which made the second tour especially disappointing.
Our guide was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable, but the delivery felt more like a list of basic facts than a guided narrative. As we passed other tour groups, we could hear the energy and vivid storytelling we were hoping for.
If you’re looking for a lively, story-driven tour, this may not be the best fit.
