My friend and I had such a great time on this tour a couple weekends ago! Our tour guide was Ariadne, and she was a fantastic storyteller. I didn't know anything about the history of New Orleans, and it was such a fun way to get introduced to the city. It was my first time there. Ariadne did such a great job of keeping the group engaged and at each stop I couldn't wait to hear the next part of the story. Also, she was correct that I shouldn't have ordered the purple drink at LaFitte's Blacksmith Shop - live and learn, I guess. Take the tour! It is so much fun!

I would have rated this a five star however, there was a big group of 9 and they were drunk and obnoxious. I had no problem with our tour guide, she was great and knowledgeable. I just wished they would have kept that big group by themselves.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry about the disruptive people in your tour group. We do try and weed those types of people out if we notice an issue prior to the start of the tour. However, I am happy that you did enjoy the tour guide.

I found this tour to be very informative and our tour guide Ariadne was fun and knowledgeable. My husband and I went around Halloween time and it felt like just the right tour for the time of year.
