WWII MUSEUM

Interactive and informative, the museum was amazing and way more than I had expected. 10/10 would recommend!

Incredible museum!

The WWII museum was the highlight of our New Orleans vacation.  The curators did an amazing job stepping you back in time and allowing you to experience   Events in a chronological fashion.  The impact of the war from the soldier to the effects of daily life for all citizens is on display.  The social missteps are also discussed and displayed.  

I hope to be back again.

Chef Rene was a great instructor for the demonstration cooking class.  Funny, historically informative and of course his jambalaya, gumbo, bread pudding and pralines were amazing!

Exquisitely Delicious

Pat, our chef for the experience was delightful. She was entertaining and gave great history of the area. She was conversational and it wasn't like she was following a script. The food was delicious and she made us all confident that we could make the recipes at home! The best part of our New Orleans trip!

Amazing Experience!

Very interesting, informative and delicious. Loved it and enjoyed shopping in the general store. Thanks.

The tour guy was professional, nice and friendly!!  He was great at narrating the tour and appeared to be very knowledgeable.  The bus was comfortable in seating, but it was a little warm ,, not enough air circulation.  
Overall, our experience was great, and exciting to know about the city of New Orleans. 

Nola City tour

As a native New Orleanean bringing friends to NOLA, this tour was perfect. Our guide, Gary, gave us the perfect balance of history, food tips, and trip advice. He was fun to hang out with and learn some things I never knew while informing some tourists about the important things you've got to know about New Orleans. This was some of the best money we spent all weekend. I'm putting this on my list of things to do when I bring friends to New Orleans.

Put this on your must-do list

Gary was a great, local tour guide. The first stop at the Happy Raptor was a great move!  Keep telling your stories Gary!

We had an excellent time. We even came back to some of the areas to eat. The food was great! Our tour guide was very fun. He gave us plenty of breaks and answered all the questions we had.

I booked this tour a week and a half in advance. The website advertised an 8:30 till 10:30 tour with hotel pick up if you're staying in the French Quarter. Great! I got a call the day before saying there was no pick up and the tour time was 9:30 till 11:30. I had to call and change dinner reservations and check to see if my hotel had in and out privileges for valet but I decided to stick with it. I'm glad we did. Matthew was AMAZING!! He is super knowledgeable and cracks jokes. He has even more fun facts to share if there are no kids present. The sights were pretty dark so a flashlight would be great but you won't be disappointed. There were a few people in our group that pre-purchased drinks on the website for our stop at Bulldogs. There seemed to have been some complications with the manager but they were able to get their drinks. Apparently it was a first time. Overall super fun and super educational. I would recommend this tour.

Matthew made it worth while

My husband and I visited NOLA for the weekend for our anniversary. I found this tour on a web search when I was looking for activities. Tyler was very informative, energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was an awesome experience I would definitely do as a first time visitor or a repeater.

Whitney Plantation Museum was incredible.  I learned a lot and feel good about the organization which my fee will be supporting.  The St. Joseph Plantation was really just a tour of an old house.  There was no mention of slavery at all at that home.  I really felt that stop was a waste and would not recommend it.

Whitney Museum Was Excellent

The driver Steve was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating. 
The Whitney was incredibly moving and artistically presented.

Not really knowing what to expect we arrived 15 minutes early as instructed for breakfast. The house was locked but someone cam to the front door in about 7-8 minutes and unlocked it for us. It was a nice sit down breakfast with about 8 other travelers which was nice to talk and get to know one another. The breakfast was truly five star and out hats off to the cooks. The tour itself was very informative and the guide did a really good job. If you are seeking food, culture, history and love art this is a great way to spend about three hours. Understand though you are going to be in a home from the 1700's so do not expect "spit & polish".

Edgar Degas

It was nice to learn about Degas’ ties with New Orleans, and also see the room which hosted him during his time in Louisiana.
There was a little too much focus on his brother’s infidelity; we would have preferred to learn more about the paintings he did here and a more detailed analysis of the letters or other first hand documents in which Degas described his time in NOLA.
