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!

If you're looking for something worth your time and money, think twice before booking this. I definitely wouldn't waste either on it.

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.

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.

The "voodoo queen" aspect of the tour was just a fraction of what we learned about New Orleans from DJ -- from history to pronunciation to race and religion knowledge and much more. He deconstructed common stereotypes of voodoo and its main "queen", and we walked away with more knowledge of New Orleans as a city than we got from any other source. Worth every penny! As a bonus, he gave us a wonderful lunch recommendation for after the tour, and it was great! I hope to book a food tour with him next time we visit.

It was the Dead of Night Ghosts & Cemetary bus tour and we went to the French Market where Gallatin Street used to be, Morning Call which is a beignet and bathroom stop and totally unnecessary as for as I was concerned - it was only a 2 hour tour!, a Masonic cemetary, an underpass where many bodies were unearthed, and the former Charity Hospital. The tour guide spouted stats without much sourcing and didn't quite place the statistics with the times. 100,000 dead bodies in the river? When, over what stretch of time, and how big was the population of NOLA at the time? Is that even possible? My spouse is an epidemiologist and is keenly aware of population/disease and he was unconvinced. This tour also touts a 90% success rate of capturing paranormal phenomenon during each tour. Hmmm. Anyway, do your research on these tours is all I can say...

I'm really disappointed with my experience. I was running late to the walking tour because of…read moreconstruction that was not disclosed in the initial email about the meeting location. I was about to call to try to figure it out but as I opened my phone Caroline called me, and her tone was incredibly condescending. The directions she gave me were also very vague, and the entire conversation made me feel like I was being treated as though I was incompetent rather than someone genuinely trying to find the tour. She eventually said, "I'll come get you," which I actually thought was very kind and appreciated that she was willing to help. Unfortunately, when she came to find me, her demeanor was completely different. She was visibly irritated, stomping toward me and yelling from a distance, "Are you Fallyn?" When I said yes, she yelled, "In here!" and walked into a building. She was far enough away that I still had to figure out which building she had gone into. When I finally got inside, she was still visibly annoyed and huffing and puffing. I apologized and said I was sorry it had been so difficult getting there, while her coworkers were immediately reassuring me that it was okay and that they were just glad I had made it. Their reaction honestly made the situation even more uncomfortable because it seemed clear that her behavior was not necessary. I completely understand that being late can be frustrating, but the reason I was late was construction that had not been disclosed in the meeting instructions. I was already stressed and trying my best to find the group. There was no reason to speak to me so condescendingly or make me feel like such an inconvenience. Unfortunately, the interaction left a very negative impression before the tour even began. I would expect much better customer service from a company leading tours for visitors who are unfamiliar with the area. Natalie - our actual guide was great. She was sweet and very nice when we arrived + gave an excellent tour. Although - I will say - it says a 2 hour tour. Ours was about an hour and ten minutes

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.
