Brian was extremely knowledgeable with the history of New Orleans and super fun too! My group was so fun and intrigued by his fun facts. The tour itself was excellent. We walked to different bars in the neighborhood and experienced the cocktails that each bar featured. We will definitely do this again if and when we come back! Great job, Brian!

Fantastic experience

Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide!  Full of knowledge, funny, and took us to places we would not have gone without knowing the history behind them. 
 We would do another tour with her!

You must do this tour!

This was our fourth cocktail tour and we learn more history each time. We went to 4 bars( 2 for first time). Joe was our excellent guide. He is so much fun and knowledgeable about all the history and cocktails.

Perfect tour with Joe

This is a must see for all especially the new generations coming up now very educational and sad at the same time but a very important piece of history that should never be forgotten

Must see

History tour

The museum was excellent. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, I believe, it was self-guided. I'm glad, as there was a certain member in my group that I wanted to keep away from. My only complaint is the actual bus that took us there. It was very uncomfortable with rattling windows that prevented me from being able to hear the video that was playing. Closed captioning would have been helpful. I initially got on a different Grayline charter headed to Oak Alley and it was a far better appointed bus. Given that the travel distance to each location is similar, I don't understand why Whitney had the crappy bus.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable, as well as informative and thought provoking ghostly tour of the French Quarter. Our guide, Joel, was a masterful guide. One minute he would make us laugh, the next cause us to reflect sombrely on the sometimes very dark history of New Orleans. It ended up being a highlight of the vacation. Recommended!

Superb tour!

We showed up on the time and date to our tour and no one was there.  We tried to call Gray Line yesterday to ask for a refund and they told us to talk to you. The tour we were booked on was a gift and we won’t be able to reschedule with our trip ending. Is there any way you could refund some of all of the money to the person who got us the gift

We booked this tour and it did not disappoint. Mary was our guide and she was so well versed and knowledgeable about this history of New Orleans and the ghostly past of many establishments. Highly recommend!

The tour was interesting and informative.  Our guide was an elderly lady who was very knowledgeable about New Orleans and the people/houses in the neighborhoods we visited.  She had plenty of stories to tell. Enjoyed walking through the beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods of the Garden District and seeing the celebrity homes and homes where different movies were filmed.  Definitely recommend it.

Enjoyed the tour very much

Awesome Tour

Loved seeing the beautiful homes and hearing the stories.   The pavement was very treacherous in spots.
