Zelda is an excellent storyteller! She is very informative, personal tidbits to tell some of the stories, and funny. It is not a “ghost” tour, but a fact-based tour that is very interesting. Highly recommend!!! But do pick up a fan that is offered on the counter to try to move some air while you walk!

This is a great food tour that celebrates the best of the diversity of the New Orleans culinary scene. Our tour guide, Ty, was knowledgeable and interesting. He not only shared the history of the food we were tasting, but the history of the r city he clearly loves as well. Definitely take this tour!

After-Dark Historical Night Tour of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
Y1089UVjulien, Sep 2026
Very informational!
Our guide made it super incredible! He is a historian so everything that he was telling us was super factual, and not some of the lies you hear on the television. There was nothing paranormal about it, but just listening to the history of the cemetery and learning about the tombs and different legends that are in this cemetery was super creepy, and you felt like you were surrounded by the dead, which obviously we were lol. If you like history and learning about things from back in the day, I super recommend this tour but only at night. We did the evening tour guide, and it was still super hot in the cemetery since everything is made of brick and concrete and there was no airflow. I think it would be absolutely unbearable to do when the sun is out. Just something to keep in mind ☺️

Amazing way to see the city!
Absolutely fantastic way to see New Orleans and get out of the French Quarter! Our guide was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and stopping in shaded spots - it was a melting August day!! Very leisurely cycle, with heaps of information on the route. We loved it and would actually do it again next time we visit :) Thank you!

First and foremost, the food! ❤️ Our tour guide, Mark, curated the most delightful selection of dishes that gave us such a wonderful taste of New Orleans! Every stop was delicious, but what made the experience truly special was Mark himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and culinary culture of New Orleans, but went above and beyond by teaching us about the history, traditions, and Southern culture woven into the city’s food. Mark was personable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing his city with others. A delicious little journey through the heart and history of New Orleans 👍🏻👍🏻

New Orleans Heart of the City Bicycle Tour
cathyhX903DP, Aug 2026
Loved our heart of the city tour
My husband and I very much enjoyed our heart of the city bike tour @flambeauxtours with Eric. We rode our cruiser bikes through the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, and Tremé, each worth seeing. At just over halfway, we stopped at a coffeehouse for some much needed iced coffee. My favorite part was learning about the demographics/history of the people of New Orleans, such as the difference between Creole and Cajun. Eric is originally from the area, moved away for a while, and came back, which gives him a deep understanding and yet objectivity about the city. Eric gave us great recommendations for things to do and eat after the tour. I highly recommend #flambeauxtours.

New Orleans Storyville Museum VIP Guided Tour: Admission Included

Tell the Story
I heard about this museum and the story it tells while on a bus tour. It was recommended by the tour guide. The museum had a lot of value and the spacing/ number of exhibits was perfect for a lull in the ups and downs of New Orleans. The attendant was super nice. I do wish they had more to offer from the gift shop. There is so much to explore with the Lewd and abandoned theme. Great time out of the heat.
