Things to do on President's Day in New Orleans (Updated 2026)

The tour was very accessible from our hotel in the French quarter with just a short walk to the meeting point. The tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the cemetery and the history.

Very informative! We didn't know what all happens with the family crypts and the whole process. Make sure to bring an umbrella and water.

Absolutely worth it! Located walking distance from a list of hotels in the French Quarter, this whole experience was pleasant, informative, and entertaining. All the staff members were exceptionally friendly, the guides and music were fun, and the boat itself was a very well kept, clean, and a beautiful step into what could have been a ride a 100 years ago. The pride was very affordable for a family of 4. The 11 am ride was perfect at just under 2 hours, we saw a lot! Only note is that we didn’t debark until 11:30. Highly recommend!

Britta was our carriage driver/tour guide and was absolutely phenomenal! Extremely informative, great banter with us, and always had an explanation if someone had a question. This was also the perfect way to see more sights we wanted to get to while being out of the sun.

It was my best friend B day so me and my other best friend decided to do the horse carriage it was really nice and the price was awesome

The narration was very informative especially regarding events of the storm Katrina . The lunch buffet was very tasty.

Wonderful tour guide. Can’t recommend him enough! It was interesting and entertaining. Learned a great deal

Excellent trip in a small boat, lots of alligators, herons, cormorants, bayous, eagles and ospreys.

Lived the relaxing ride on our last few hours in NOLA. Band was great. Info on area was great. Staff was great. Clean.

The tour was great and our guide, Wolfy, made the experience so fun and taught us so much! Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Our guide was so cool! He came with extra hand fans and ice packs for if we got too hot. Which a stagnant 90° night will do it to ya! I learned so much about the spooky topics. He did a good job and giving us the real stories behind voodoo and vampires. Things I would have never learned. It’s not really a jumpscare look over your shoulder because it’s so scary tour. So if you wanna feel like you’re at a haunted tour then this one isn’t really it. But learning actual history and making a bar stop? 100% book. He also let us stop at every corner store we passed in case anyone needed a water break.

Lovely place with wonderful food. Service is good and mindful. Mimosas help! Many selections to choose from with the buffet you will need a bigger stomach!

Quick way to learn much about an interesting city. The tour guide Cynthia was great! The driver was also skilled and the bus comfortable.

The view was gorgeous, the food was excellent, the breeze devine. The captain was fun and informative and the ride was smooth. Even when the tugs created waves, the gentle rocking was lovely. Be prepared for the loud noise of the calliope which sounds like a carousel and the loudness of the boats horn as it warns other boats that its coming. The people on smaller boats gave us a 'wooohooo' and we always hollered back. I'd definitely go again.

Chris was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about many things beyond the tour and even had photos on his phone of old New Orleans maps and diagrams to help enhance the history he shared. He had a great sense of humor and it was truly an enjoyable evening. Harry's Corner was a quick bar stop- get a Ghostbuster drink!

What an adventure! Julia was filled with a wealth of knowledge and made the tour more than fun!
