Our group had about 10 people, and the walk itself was easy -- a comfortable pace with several stops where we stood and listened as Matthew shared stories and history. He did a wonderful job explaining the true roots and beliefs of Voodoo, as well as its place in New Orleans culture. I learned so much that I didn't know before. It's unfortunate that movies and media have given Voodoo such a negative image, because it's a genuine religion that deserves respect, just like any other. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the real culture and spiritual traditions of New Orleans.

We learned a great deal about the history of New Orleans in general, and the French Quarter in specific. It started in Jackson Square and ended near Congo Park. From the strategic blunders of the British in the War of 1812, to the two oldest buildings in the area (one a convent, the other Pirate Jean Lafitte's blacksmith shop), through the heart of this year's Decadence Festival, it was an amazing learning experience.

The True Crime Walking Tour of the French Quarter was hands-down one of the best walking tours…read morewe've ever taken, and that is entirely because of Drew. You can immediately tell he doesn't just *recite* stories--he has deeply researched them. Every detail was accurate, thoughtfully sourced, and presented with care and integrity. In a city where true crime can easily slip into sensationalism, Drew handled each story with respect, depth, and historical context. That matters, and it showed. What truly sets Drew apart is how he performs the stories. His delivery was engaging without being theatrical for the sake of it. He told each case with genuine love and passion, making the history feel alive while honoring the real people involved. He kept the group fully engaged from start to finish--thorough, entertaining, and never rushed. Drew is the kind of guide who elevates the entire experience and reflects incredibly well on your company. He's not just knowledgeable--he's a storyteller, a historian, and a professional who clearly takes pride in what he does. A true gem, and absolutely someone you want representing your tours. Highly recommend--especially if you're lucky enough to get Drew as your guide.

Guy illustrated his talk with a variety of visuals including the people, the designs, the styles and maps. It was easy to make connections. He gave us a history of the people who occupied the French Quarter over time, the fires and flooding that jeopardized or didn't jeopardize this area and most importantly who saved it from demolition. Guy imparted his knowledge of architecture in a meaningful and understandable way as we toured the French Quarter. Our entire stay in New Orleans was enriched by this walking tour. Thank you Guy.

If you come in the summer, beware of the heat and lack of shade (which is how every cemetary tour is). I came today and it was about 85 degrees, but it felt hot.

Carlo was FANTASTIC. Super informative and an absolute delight. I can't recommend him enough.read more

They assigned us Dana, a retired professor of English. She met our small group at the cemetery and spent 2 hours walking us thru the cemetery.

Our guide Cassandra, was knowledgeable, engaging, and had the perfect mix of historical detail and local legends that kept the entire group interested from start to finish.

The atmosphere was both peaceful and captivating, and we appreciated how respectfully the tour was conducted. It felt much more meaningful than simply walking through on our own. If you're visiting New Orleans and want to experience an important part of the city's history and culture, we highly recommend this tour. An unforgettable experience

Our group he noted was a little larger than usual with 9 folks but he did a good job. Bikes were functioning fine and helmets are optional. The tour took us to: +The French Quarter with Jackson Square + Armstrong Park + A quick chat on the Garden District The tour lasted from 9:30 - 1PM and we learned a lot of history which we wouldn't have been able to know without the tour. Would recommend!

Date of tour: December 21, 2024…read more After a wonderful food tour in Prague last year, we wanted to replicate the magic stateside while visiting New Orleans, a city with a rich food history and scene. As requested, I will keep the individual location names secret as to not spoil your potential food tour but also because the stops can change and I don't want to have you disappointed if you don't get the same places on your tour. Ty was a great guide, providing us with local history and culture as we ate our way down Magazine Street. The only complaint I have is that they didn't really interact with us during the food portions, standing or sitting off to the side, or running to the next location to make sure we were all set. To me, the guide should be not only the bridge between the locations and food with us, but also a bridge between the different groups on the tour. Ty told us before the tour started that the other folks joining us were from Michigan, but we found out from them later that they were actually from New York. Had these connections been made earlier, it would have enhanced the tour. On to the food, wonderful that it all was! Please note that I may make some errors in the actual names of the food, while I took pictures, I did not write down the names and there wasn't a post-tour recap to assist me! Stop #1: A local sandwich and a seafood side. Both quite good, especially since I don't like olives! Stop #2: An unusual meat that was shockingly good! Stop #3: Seafood options. I've had a different version of one of these items in Asheville, NC. This wasn't quite as good but still tasty. Stop #4: Southern favorites that were so good! I didn't think I would like these but I did. Stop #5: A peppermint fudge cupcake. Sadly, the weakest stop on the tour. Other that tried the gelato came away disappointed and my cupcake was neither overly fudgey or pepperminty. It looked pretty, though!
