We can't stop talking and thinking about it. So highly curated. You really put so much thought, and time and effort into that tour, and it was beyond what we could have ever expected. Learned so much!! Great history and saw the entire city! That was the most incredible opportunity for someone interested in the topic (but for even me too -a humble bystander). We Loved the organization of the clips with the buildings and the pictures of artifacts. Just so well done. Robert really took the effort to make this worth it. So detailed. Info you can't find on the internet. Mind boggling. Great guy, great tour guide. Thank you for all of your passion and effort, we are still appreciating the time we had days and days later we'll be talking about for decades.

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!

As a professional historian and visitor to museums around the world, I hold museums to a higher…read morestandard than most. To say that the Storyville Museum achieved its goals and earned five stars would be an understatement; this may very well be the best museum I've visited in at least the past three years. The story of Storyville is complex, full of nuance, and with many unanswered questions. For me, one of the hallmarks of an excellent museum is that it lets these questions linger; the rough edges are not smoothed over, and visitors leave pondering big moral and ethical questions. That's exactly how I felt: the museum gave me a fantastic scaffolding of understand about Storyville, but it was also clear that its socioeconomics, its racial and gender dynamics, and its complex intersection with local, state and federal law are vast unplowed fields of potential for masters theses and PhD dissertations. For me, the intersection between prostitution and the political power structures were fascinating. Ton Anderson is a case study of contradictions, and one could spend a career trying to peel back the layers there. So too are the intersections with New Orleans's rich musical cultures and traditions. The stories of the madams themselves were equally captivating. Josie Arlington's and Kate Townsend's lives were riveting, but so too were the countless other women who didn't achieve their considerable wealth and power. The price of admission isn't cheap, but it's well worth the investment. Plan to spend at least two hours here, and learn about an important part of New Orleans's history that's well worth seeing.

He is a wise man who has lived through so much and he not only witnessed things but takes action to make right what is wrong. I was so impressed with his bravery and the many ways he initiated change for good. He defines terms for you (like how a Creole person is a child born of black and white parents). And like another Yelper mentioned, he provides a portfolio given to you that accentuates his tour and it's VERY well organized!! It is a very interactive tour and you get to hold very historical items. I won't say what they are so I don't ruin it, but those helped me learn a lot. It produced a strong emotion for me to experience something that was used for evil on precious children and adults. This tour really takes you deep into the mindset of things. Mr. Waters also teaches us about symbolism and how important it was in many aspects! It's about a 2 hour walking tour and I highly recommend bringing enough water (but there are no restroom breaks in between) and a hat. This tour is worth every minute of your time and New Orleans will have a different look to it after you go through it. It's very educational and important to know the history.

I hadn't intended to book a carriage tour on our trip, but we kept seeing them when we were walking around and I was charmed by the idea. I'm a history buff and have read quite extensively about the history of the French Quarter, but the only nighttime tour was their "haunted" history tour. I find the haunted stuff a bit cheesy, but booked it anyhow. Knowing a bit about history, I will say that Charles is very well versed in that and you will get a lot of interesting and factually correct history of The French Quarter. Most of the tragic tales are the well trod fare that every haunted tour in New Orleans covers, and it really neither added or detracted from the overall experience for me. What I can say is that Charles has an absolutely disarmingly dry sense of humor and delivery, in a very good way! It took me a bit to feel his rhythm, but once he got going, it was an absolute delight. He has a gorgeous drawl and very nice speaking voice with a gentle, slightly monotone delivery. His dry humor really worked well when delivering the macabre stories, which enhanced my enjoyment of it. Even if you don't like the haunted aspect, it is absolutely worth it to take this tour after dark. The old streets and lanterns flickering in the night can really transport you back in time, even with the modern trappings around. It was really the perfect cap to my perfect birthday in New Orleans. Thank you to Charles and our hardworking mule- sadly, I did not get the mule's name.
