This was an awful NON experience. No one showed up to give us a tour. When I contacted someone, they told me the tour was canceled and we could take a tour 8 hours later. We were so frustrated as we had planned our day around that tour. I would give this a 0 star rating but the website wouldn’t let me go on if I did that.

This was our second year booking this Mardi Gras walking tour and plan to make it a tradition! We have also attended the Drunk History Tour and a few others with this small family owned and operated business. Every time we book we always seem to learn more and more (the booze may be a reason we forget a few odds and ends lol) Thanks to our guide Coty we have learned about all the Mardi Gras traditions of New Orleans and are so happy they welcome us to take part in it with them not to mention we love coming to see the incredible parades this time of year! Some of the things we got to see and learn about might seem a little strange but after going on this tour it makes it all so cool now that we understand the history behind it all! We also wanna give a big thank you to Ashli for making our booking process and trip so easy she even checked in on us periodically to ensure things are going good during our trip she’s a keeper. <3 We cannot wait for next year!!!! I do believe they run specials for repeat customers because we did receive a little something special for booking multiple tours with them, Family owned and operated is the way to go especially when they are so kind and treat their customers as friends and family. Thanks guys for another job well done! See y’all again soon!
