Best tour if you like information instead of a show
Excellent tour. Andrea was our guide and Super Knowledgeable. It wasn’t just, “Look, here’s a pretty house. Look, another pretty house.” She knew history, she knew architecture, she was very patient with all of my questions. It was interesting and down-to-earth. I think having these tours led by volunteer guides that actually care, makes all the difference.

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!

Creole Kids Tour in New Orleans

Excellent your company for families
Miss Jill did an amazing job with this tour. She was incredibly patient with the kids and the material was perfect for the target audience. My daughter learned a lot and I was happy she was getting well researched and fact based information delivered in a way she could understand and process (even though some topics are difficult for kiddos to get). We loved the tour so much, we booked the tween ghost tour with Miss Chelsea the next day and loved it as well! I cannot recommend this company strongly enough if you are traveling with kiddos.

We learned so much about a lot of things about NOLA. Michaela is outgoing and fun. She is a native and knows so much about her community. She took us all over and even out to the Bayou for an air boat ride. This is a must tour for anyone vacationing in New Orleans for the first time. Truly the highlight of our trip!

Historical Treme Walking Tour

Relaxed, great guide, great overview of NO history
This tour was wonderful! Highly recommend, First of all the website was easy to book without having to call anyone. Communication was stellar. The price was modest compared to some...which I appreciated as you never know what you are going to get. I would rather give a tip than pay for something that was not so great.Our guide was Harris who knew so much about the entire history of New Orleans, but as a musician himself was able to bring more insight into the whole Treme area and the beginnings of Jazz. We even went by a church he had played in when he was in high school. He wanted to know what we wanted to know, not just a canned talk by any means. Like because I am Irish, he told us a little about that neighborhood as well. And even more generous, he followed up the visit with a long text reviewing a lot of the details and names he had discussed and some other places we might want to check out.

Beautiful plantation. Guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the original owners of the plantation as well as the history of the enslaved at the property. Would recommend tour for older people like myself. Not too much walking and places to sit during the tour.
