New Orleans Literary, Art & Music Tours

I personally enjoyed the VIP service due to my disability and being able to safely get on the ship in a timely manner without the crowd, our small group felt special and well taken care of.

It was fun and amazing. Our concierge Marlon was exciting and made it worthwhile. The food was also amazing.

Definitely recommend this cruise on the Mississippi. I did brunch, which was good food. the jazz music was nice

We took the cruise which included the brunch. The food was okay, but it was nice was that they let you board 1 hour before and enjoy the brunch before the cruise. It had a couple of nice bars and the music was enjoyable. Comfortable and relaxing

What a fabulous tour. Girlfriends and I had the best time. Marc was a wonderful guide - easy, relaxed, knowledgable of the art scene in NOLA and its history. We stopped at various galleries and met several artists, stopped at some insta-worthy street art locations for photos, then coffee. Marc was flexible and totally willing to go with our flow. We’ll do it again on our next trip to NOLA!

Booked the Private Art and Street Art Tour with Marc and NOLA DeTours over Taylor Swift weekend in New Orleans. We had the best time; Marc was a perfect Southern gentleman knowledgeable about New Orleans history and the local arts. Has a very personal connection to New Orleans and the food and art scene. Marc contacted me well before to inquire about what sort of tour we were looking for; he can curate the tour to your preferences and liking. He confirmed everything again the day before and was on time for pick-up. He is part of a storied New Orleans restaurant family, and we were so lucky to meet his gracious parents and view their private art collection. Marc is your guy if you want something unique, curated, and personal. I would also recommend this tour to anyone looking for stunning and unique photo stops or Instagrammable shots.

The experience, service, and music were all top notch. Marlon and Grayson gave us service like we have never experienced before, on top of beautiful views and incredible jazz. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Go VIP the service is excellent. Our 2 hosts were very attentive and made our trip very memorable. The captain was very nice and gave us an interesting tour of the steamboat.

It was great. The food was good. It was just the right amount of time down the river and back. I would definitely do it again.

Excellent experience. Nice little brunch. Quite limited choice but everything is very good and in large quantity. The staff is very attentive. The fabulous jazz band.

Amazing tour! Great art and food! Extremely knowledgeable about New Orleans and worth the time and money spent for the tour! Highly recommended!

Everything was outstanding; however, even though we were first to eat, some the food seemed like it was leftover from the lunch trip. I would still highly recommend.

Explore the boat, a lot of history. I would recommend the VIP, make that someone special know just how special they are. Marlon does an outstanding job making the evening yours. The band was also GREAT!

Had a wonderfull evening for our 25th aniversary. Food was lovely, drinks were great and the band were so good. Would highly recommend the VIP option as the captains tour was really interesting and Marlon the concierge was attentive and looked after us all night. Thanks again!

Marlon gave us super service top to bottom. This was a pure VIP event. He is an asset to the company

VIP package worth every penny. Marlon was great very helpful and attending. The cruise was very nice and comfortable. But we won’t ever do this with our vip package.
