New Orleans LGBTIQA+ Friendly Tours

The tour was phenomenal! Our guide Tylyn was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and happily answered any questions we had. The tour gives a condensed yet impressive overview of queer history and culture in NOLA while the French Quarter acts a beautiful backdrop. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in NOLA history, as the fight for equality continues to be relevant to the queer community.

Great and informative tour and the guide was awesome! If you love history and Nola, book this tour!!

Fantastic history lessons and I credible food.Lauren was absolutely lovely the entire tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Frank was the perfect tour guide—knowledgeable, personable, and considerate. He was full of great stories and was able to tailor our tour to what we requested. His knowledge of and love for the Quarter are palpable. You cannot go wrong with him.

Was the best tour I have ever taken. Frank is part of the community & knows so much about the changes. He is a published author so there are real live facts about the people, lives & how they have shaped the city, state, and country. I felt blessed to have the knowledge shared with me & my girlfriend. Finished at a staple of the community ready to enjoy a Mardi Gras parade! Book this tour & enjoy!!

Tylyn was so knowledgeable about LGBTQ history in New Orleans. We had a great time on this tour. It was easily one of our favorites—highly recommended!

We loved this tour and learning more about the important moments in queer history specific to New Orleans. It was inspiring and informative.

Frank was an amazing tour guide. He has a wealth of information about the city and you can tell he really enjoys sharing his city with us tourist. I highly recommend! Thank you Frank!

Frank is hands down the best tour guide in town. Frank is knowledgeable, wise, kind and respectful- a true teacher not only in practice but at heart - and never got tired of my many questions. It’s been an absolute pleasure to have Frank as a tour guide. 10/10 this is tour is a MUST to really understand NOLA history and social, cultural, and political contexts.

Our LGBTQ Walking Tour was hosted by Ty and, again, we were treated to an amazing telling of New Orleans' history with the gay community. Locations of significance were visited to ascribe an extra degree of permanence, whether the setting was tragic, comedic, prideful, or just plain curious. While I do not recall an age-limit warning during the booking of the tour, some locations are 21+, so plan accordingly. Bonus thanks to Ty for timing our walk just as an adorable pet corgi was crossing our paths. Your own experience may vary. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and found it extremely enlightening.

Our guide Ty led us on an exceptionally well researched and fascinating tour of the French Quarter with key events and figures from New Orleans' LGBTQ history, past and present. Ty's knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic experience on our LGBT Queer History Tour with Tylyn. Ty is bursting with knowledge and passion about this topic and after two hours packed with stories and information we felt we could have stayed longer so we could keep talking and learning. The tour covers important and defining moments for the New Orleans gay community, the story behind some historic establishments, and the history of the involvement of the community in annual/ traditional New Orleans celebrations that the whole city celebrates. I had loads of questions but Ty answered almost all of them before I could ask. We went to the bookstore on Frenchmen Street after and picked up a book to read more- that's the influence of a great educator. Thank you!

Ty was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide: made us feel welcomed and informed. Small intimate group we were able to have conversations. Ty always had an answer & appreciated our input. Great gay historic memories shared.

Our guide Ty was very knowledgeable and was able to provide a history lesson with the skill of a good storyteller. We really enjoyed their company too.

Frank give us a wonderful tour and really knows his history. He lived for many years in the French Quarter and knows many of the residents and business owners. He took us into several places that tourists normally don’t get to see. Very interesting and informative tour. We will do another tour with Frank next time we are here.

Frank was a wonderful guide. The tour was relaxed, informative, and educational. It was a great experience.
