Excellent History Tour - I chose this walking tour because it was one of the few that allowed kids under 18, and a voodoo tour was the one request my daughter and her friend had for their visit to New Orleans. I found the tour less focused on voodoo and more on the influence of the Black community on the history of New Orleans. I was fine with this and thought it was great for my girls. Definitely better than salacious voodoo tales. Erin was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and with a fun sense of humor.

Walking tour with Nika 10/10 - 10/10 would do this tour again. Had an amazing time and it was all due to Nika! She was super fun and knowledgeable, and she definitely knows how to make a lasting impression on her guests. Learned so much about the history of New Orleans and the common misconceptions about voodoo—mind blown! Thanks so much Nika for your expertise, recommendations, and all the laughs. You rock girl!

Interesting and fun tour! - Excellent guide...very informative, funny, and organized in taking us around the city. It was a hot day and she was thoughtful about keeping us in the shade, making sure we got cold water or bathroom breaks (if needed) along the way! Loved her!

Brilliant tour with a super guide - Erin is an enthusiastic, welcoming and easy-going guide. She mentioned a ton of different historical information with no hesitation to answer questions in detail. The language speed as well as the walking speed were comfy to get along.

Great family tour experience - Our tour guide Erin was fantastic. She has a great way of blending storytelling, history, and architecture to make the history of the city and it's cultures come alive. She ties the past into the present cleanly and was a delight to learn from. She has a great way of tying each stop into a single key take away our kids loved (11, 13).
