best tour in the city - This was unexpectedly my favorite tour all weekend. Our tour guide was a compelling story teller which makes all the difference when taking a tour. He was extremely flexible and made our raining tour as easy going and fun as possible. We learned so much and its a shame this part of the cities history is being overlooked. They aren't just tour guides they are doing the work of historians. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Fun, fast-paced, engaging tour! - One of the highlights of our family trip! Our guide made this history lesson fun, fast-paced and kept the attention of our teens for over 90 minutes. He covered so many facets of pirating in the region and tied them in to the larger events occurring at the time. Highly recommended tour!

Fun and colorful - Tons of fun. Our guide gave us a tale of the pirates as i have never heard before. The story came to life as he described the culture in the early 1800s. We walked where the pirates did and gave a whole new perspective of these colorful characters from history.

Best tour in New Orleans! - The captain was super knowledgeable and clearly did a lot of research to help debunk some of the pirate myths. He was really engaging and entertaining, and the tour never felt like it dragged at all. He did a great job describing what pirate life was like in New Orleans and kept things light and fun— even the kids were laughing. He also adjusted the stories to keep them kid-friendly and exciting. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, interactive experience, whether you’re with a small group or a big one.

We highly recommend this tour if yo visit the city. Rooted in the city true story. - The tour was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It was highly didactic, professional, and rooted in the true history of the city. From beginning to end, we enjoyed every moment. The starting point is beautiful and perfectly located in the heart of New Orleans, making it an ideal place to begin. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city—it combines professionalism with entertainment in the most engaging way.
