The deep history behind each spot was really moving to hear, even as locals! We especially enjoyed learning the stories behind iconic landmarks and people like the St. Louis Cathedral, the Beauregard-Keyes House, the Mighty Mississippi, the Ursuline nuns, and so many more. The tour provided the perfect blend of history, architecture, culture, and local insight, giving us a much deeper appreciation for the city's rich heritage. Thank you, Two Chicks!

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!

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.

I attended Unique NOLA's French Quarter walking tour on Thursday morning, and unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was so uncomfortable that I ended up leaving the tour early. For context, I was the only Black person in our group. Our first stop was an area where the guide, Dane, discussed the history of slavery in New Orleans, including where enslaved people were held and the streets they were marched down to be sold and traded. During his explanation, Dane began discussing Louisiana's racial hierarchy and how people who were partially Black could sometimes own property and attain certain positions in society. Rather than simply explaining this historical context, he decided to single me out in front of the entire group. He pointed directly at me and said, "I'm going to use you as an example." I responded, "Are you really?" He replied, "Yes, really." Despite my very obvious discomfort, he proceeded to explain that if he and I were cousins, he would be able to rise through the ranks of society because he was white-passing, while I would never be able to reach the top of society because of my dark skin. Again, I was the ONLY Black person in the group. There were countless ways to explain the historical realities of colorism and racial discrimination without pointing out the only Black person present and making her skin color the subject of a public demonstration. What made the situation even more frustrating was that I had already questioned his decision to use me as an example. My response should have been a clear indication that I was uncomfortable, yet he continued anyway. I came to learn about the history and culture of New Orleans, not to be singled out and used as a living example of racial discrimination in front of a group. Discussing slavery and racial inequality is an important part of understanding the city's history, but doing so requires sensitivity, awareness, and respect for the people participating in the tour. I ultimately decided to leave rather than continue participating in an experience that had made me feel so uncomfortable. I hope Unique NOLA takes this feedback seriously and provides its guides with additional training on how to discuss sensitive historical subjects without unnecessarily singling out guests. No one should have to experience this while simply trying to enjoy a walking tour.

Maybe check yourself and your arrogance and use it to become a fantastic tour guide, because without the deliberate attempt to make someone else look smaller by putting them down, the tour would have been just that...fantastic. You have extensive knowledge and tell a great story...just treat others with respect, that's all.
