Dennis was very knowledgeable about The Garden District. He was delightful to listen to! He answered our questions all along the tour. We learned so much about the famous people who lived or now live in the area.

Ah yes, there is nothing like a celebrity sighting when you're on vacation! Sometimes you might even encounter a local celebrity but we can't divulge our secrets...just yet! Thanks for the review, Mary! -Brittawnée

On Sunday, September 3rd at 7:30pm, my husband, sister, and myself embarked on the best ghost tour of the French Quarter. Our guide, Roger, expertly set the scene at each stop of the tour. He covered historical and contemporary ghost stories of the FQ backed by journal entries and court cases. 10/10 recommend! Moreover, this particular company caps their tours at 8 people which makes the experience all the more intimate. This was our third walking tour in the short time we spent in New Orleans where we didn't have to crane over others to hear, or spend time being worried about where the overcrowded group could srand. More quality storytelling, if that's the experience you are after- this is the right place!

Such great observations! Legally we can take up to 28(!) people out on a tour and have found that having a smaller group of 8 leads to a more enriching experience for all...including the guide, who would prefer not to yell at you for two hours just to be heard! The Ghost tour especially lends itself to a more intimate experience because the smaller numbers really allow us to "set the scene," as you said, and paint a picture through our storytelling. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. -Brittawnée

The customer service of this company was incredible. I had to cancel our tours and rebook 6 weeks later due to Covid and they were extremely kind and helpful throughout the process. We did the Magazine St Food Tour first and it was so fun. Our guide was Roger and he was really cool. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. It was so great to sample so many different types of food. Highly recommend. Our second tour was the Ghost tour with Ty and it was incredible. She knew all the ins and outs at every stop and had SUCH interesting stories. You could tell she was so passionate about all of the history she was sharing with us. As a history major, I also loved that she was upfront about some stories that have become part of accepted folklore but weren't necessarily true. For instance, she would say, "A common myth about this person is that they did X but what we know from eye witness accounts is that X is what really happened." We passed other tours as we were on ours and the hosts seemed to be monotone, reading from a script and not really moved by the material. Ty reminded me of my history professors. I cannot recommend these tours highly enough. Small, engaging, and super interesting. Not the cattle calls and groups of literally 50 tourists and their bored kids that we kept passing as we walked. THANK YOU NEW ORLEANS SECRETS!!!

Wow sounds like Roger and Ty really knocked it out of the park, Laura! You are right; all of our guides are so passionate about what they do and we get REALLY excited when guests share our enthusiasm about what makes New Orleans so special. All of the figures we discuss on our tours lived and walked these streets at one time so we also try to keep things as fact based as possible. The truth, as they say, is stranger than fiction! Thanks so much for the rave review! -Brittawnée
