Master Storytellers Excellent Experience - Great experience! Highly recommend. Master Storytellers make this experience one of a kind. It’s impressive how many locations and the backgrounds behind them the tour groups learns about during one tour! They have put a lot of work into the tours and even better the passion for the city is shared from their excitement when narrating and leading the tour. Learn and explore with Licensed, Professional, humorous, entertaining, enthusiastic guides and you cannot go wrong!

Totally worth it - This was really great! Coty was our guide. He was very knowledgeable & has a great booming voice so everyone could hear. He was a great storyteller & kept everyone engaged. He was late (about 15 minutes), though he did text & let us know. We did the day tour & were able to stop for beverages which was great because we were on a birthday trip with a large group. It was definitely worthwhile to get a different view of the French Quarter.

Tour cancelled - Tour cancelled 5 minutes AFTER it was supposed to start. And I found out it was cancelled only after I contacted the tour company to see what was going on. I know it says cancellation is possible but don’t do it AFTER the tour was supposed to start, and with zero communication. Just disappointed.

Cancelled twice. Ruined short trip. - My family and I were passing through New Orleans on a road trip. We only had a day and a half in the quarter and it was my sons first time visiting. I really wanted to do this tour to show my family the history and culture of the city. We had a 2pm tour, and I got a notification around 12pm that it was cancelled and rescheduled to 7pm. We changed all other plans to work around this. It was 6:43pm and I had walked my family all the way down bourbon to the meeting point. I got another notification that the tour was cancelled because of traffic, but we could join a 9PM tour. At that point we were done waiting around on this tour guide. Traffic is a lame excuse 15 minutes before meeting time as the guide should have already been parking and in the quarter. This is the one event I was really looking forward to, and I went through a legit company. I thought viator would be more reliable.
