Best tour in NOLA

Amazing, educational, extremely interesting! Zelda was our guide & we could not have had a better experience with her! She was funny, witty, & such a great storyteller! Best tour we had in New Orleans by FAR! Tip- do the tours after dark because the lantern, the vibes & the spirits are so much better at night!

Be Sure to Check In

We arrived for the tour on time but we're told we had to do a secondary check-in even though we had our tickets in hand and the tour group left without us and the next one was full so we had to get escorted by another guide to catch up with the original group.
