An amazing tour and guide! - This was a tour we chose because we wanted to know history of the area. We got that and so much more. Not only historical information, but also acknowledging the legends, stories, and even little things about the area only a local would know. Because of this tour we also made it a point to try out local establishments (even specific things to order). The guide was polite, knowledgeable, and very funny. Amazing experience all around!

Great intro to New Orleans - Our guide was a great storyteller, very engaging, even for the five teens on the trip with us. We all learned a lot in a short amount of time.

No credentials were checked as to whether or not we paid for the tour and a starting place was not clearly shown on the tickets so finding the beginning location of the tour was a little bit difficult.</p>

Canceled tour - They canceled the tour at the very last minute. Said they were giving a refund that I still haven't received. And now I'm seeing fee charges on my bank account for some reason. It looked like it was going to be a nice tour but I've yet been on 1. So I can't say either way about that.

Do not book this tour - This tour was booked well in advance of our trip to New Orleans. It was scheduled to begin at 9pm. At 2:40pm we received a text saying tour was cancelled with no explanation. We called the tour company to find out why and inquired about rescheduling. They took a message and said someone would return our call but we did not receive a callback.

Never showed up! - Signed up for a 2pm tour starting at Lafitte. No one ever showed up! Never received a cancellation nor did I receive a message back from the operator via the Viator communication channel. Very disappointing as this tour was highly rated.
