Engaging French Quarter tour - Our tour guide was Wolfie and they did an excellent job! The tour was not only informative but a ton of fun. My mom and I learned a bunch during our tour and felt engaged in French quarter history. We got to visit various places within the French Quarter from Congo Square to Marie Laveau's previous residence. Wolfie definitely made the tour honestly, amiable and you can tell they enjoy what they do! Thank you again! 10/10 would highly recommend.

Book your walking tour with Erin! - Erin is an amazing tour guide. I’ve done probably 12+ walking tours in New Orleans and Erin’s is by far the best one I’ve done. She is so knowledgeable and personable. Her stories were fascinating and I learned things no one has ever mentioned on previous tours. I would seek her tour out

5 Star Experience with French Quarter Phantoms! - Erin was an absolutely phenomenal guide! You can tell she enjoys what she does and is very passionate about the history and culture behind New Orleans. She was incredibly informative. We’re sad she is not our tour guide for tomorrow’s experience!

Myth-busting tour exploring the origins of Creole culture - A great way to learn about the history of the city - our guide was excellent at dispelling voodoo myths and gave us great insight and understanding of the historical, cultural and ethnic origins of the city and of voodoo. Made for an excellent start to our trip!

Totally worth it - Lots of awesome details and information from our charismatic storyteller Wolfie! More talking than walking tour but a cool way to see the quarter and learn about history.

This isn't a walking tour; it's a boring lecture in 5 different locations. - We're a retired couple who have travelled to 76 countries in the world and have enjoyed dozens of walking tours. Unfortunately, this was the worst one ever. The guide was named Bobby. He's an obese middle-aged history buff who doesn't seem to enjoy walking but certainly likes hearing himself talk. Bobby tries to be too cute and thinks swearing will add emphasis to what he's saying. We began the tour by merely walking across the street from the meeting place where Bobby gave us a 25 minute lecture, beginning with his rules. One was not to pee on another person. Perhaps twenty-year-olds would appreciate his lame attempts at humour. During the whole 90 minute tour, we walked for 10 minutes max, along 3 or 4 uninteresting streets, while listening to Bobby's history lectures for the rest of the time. He spent less than 10 minutes of the entire tour telling us about anything we were actually looking at (eg. creole cottages). Instead, we were given story after story about New Orleans in the 1700s and 1800s and about the founder of the Voodo religion. The only reason we needed to walk anywhere was so Bobby could find a new shaded area to give another 20 minute lecture. Boring!
