New Orleans Special Occasion Activities, Tours & Attractions

What a fun time we had! The crew members couldn’t have been nicer. The only drawback was NOLA had a ban on live music so no Jazz band on board.

The steamboat hatches with lunch was our favorite part of our trip to NOLA. Highly reccomend it to anyone considering this activity.

Nice tour with good, interesting narration. Fun to see the city and the river from this perspective. We didn’t do the lunch add-on, so can’t comment on that. Disembarkation process could be streamlined/managed better. Got a bit jammed up. Overall, thumbs up.

The tour was amazing, the tour guide was super friendly and he was very knowledgable about the property and the vast history of the home. He made it fun and enjoyable for everyone in the group!

This was my second time visiting Houmas House and it was even better than the last! We decided to start with lunch first at Cafe Burnside and omg it was incredible. The buffet is worth every single penny! The fried catfish was literally the best I've ever had and the bread pudding should have some kind of award! After we stuffed ourselves silly, we met up with our tour guide, Suzanna. She rang the bell and started our tour off with a bang! When you enter the house, it's like hearing that "AAAAAaaaaaaAHHHHHH" theme music. It's so gorgeous inside. I love all the stories that are told about the home and its' antiques, art and artifacts. Esp the vampire slayer kit from anne rice! This home is handicap accessible as well as are the grounds. The grounds actually remind me of a botanical garden. Go check this place out and ask for Suzanna as your tour guide, you won't be disappointed!

Our tour guide was awesome. I think her name was Sue Ellen, Bobby Sue, or something like that. Super knowledgable, super friendly, made the whole experience come to life for my wife and i. Thank you for a great experience.

My husband and I booked this cruise and we were so pleased with it. Very romantic, friendly people, really clean and organized. And OMG, the food! We had the best Seafood pasta we've ever had! We had a blast.

Amazing tour with our guide “Tic-Tok” we saw a lot of gators and he passed on some good info about the swamp. We had a great time.

The cruise was on time, very interesting and relaxing. The food was really good. I was really satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely do it again.

Emily was just wonderful.....took us to off the normal root places and full of information. Highly recommend......she is the best!

The tour guide was great!

Took friends who had never been to New Orleans. They said this was the highlight of their visit. Stet and Stormy were great!

A lovely old world characterful restaurant. Pleasant staff, traditional food, although main course somewhat too salty for my taste. An accident with red wine by the waiter did not spoil the meal.

Great cruise. Band was super, good very good. Great even though it rained.

The cajun food was good with a large variety. The band was fun and our waitstaff was attentive.

We booked this dinner cruise for our 31st wedding anniversary. It was welcoming and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the staff and musicians. It was perfect jazz atmosphere.

Do not visit NOLA without a visit to the Laura Plantation and the Whitney Plantation on the same road. Our guide was a great storyteller who walks through...

A nice and colorful, historic place. You can really get a feeling for the dramas that transpired here from the tour guides. They even leave you hanging...

It was a different experience !! History is scary and how cruel people could be . The only best part is woman were trusted to follow the linage but wish...
