Garden District Walking tour with Walter.
Walter was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable about different architecture styles, he threw in some excellent celebrity gossip and made our day super special seeing we are on our honeymoon. He recommended lots of true New Orlean experiences, restaurants and offered to be our contact for the duration of our stay.

Plantation tour in French
I booked the plantation tour with Tours By Isabelle because it was one of the only ones to offer tours in French. Isabelle was very clear in her explanations before and after the booking and was always available via WhatsApp; it is a guarantee of quality and professionalism.Our guide René picked us up at our hotel and shared anecdotes with us throughout the car ride to our destination, and on the way back, he gave us very good recommendations for restaurants. Isabelle had booked a French-language tour of the Laura plantation and notified me of a date change as soon as she knew about it, so that I could plan ahead.I recommend Tours By Isabelle with my eyes closed!

You must book and get Dustin!
The best excursion of our lives. Dustin was incredible. It was like a safari! He literally puts his feet in the water and feeds the alligators. You get inches from raccoons. You see will boars. We are from Louisiana and it was still incredible. Jaw dropping the whole time.

Incredible Customer Service

Incredible Customer Service
I'm leaving five stars because of the customer service that I experienced from this company. The day of the scheduled tour, there was a weather alert with temperatures set to reach a heat index of 109 in New Orleans. I'm *sure* they have language that would protect them from such things and they could have kept the $74 from my wife and I. When I reached out in the morning, they processed the refund without hesitation. I was hopeful, but not expecting a full refund based on experiences with other companies. This was incredibly refreshing, and while I can't speak about the tour (I'll let the other reviewers do that), I can say that this is a company I would encourage people to deal with because of how they handled this situation with understanding.
