Remember good walking... - Remember good walking shoes, not for the amount of walking but the sidewalks are very uneven and torn up.

Pirate Pubcrawl! - My husband and I visit New Orleans at least once a year and have done a lot of the standard New Orleans stuff more than once. So, I was thrilled when I ran across the Pirates of the Quarters Tour as it was not something we've done before. We were not disappointed. Our guide, "The Captain" was very knowledgeable and really brought living conditions and politics of the time to life. We did the pub-crawl and were told that the earlier (non pub-crawl) tour had completely different material, so we will likely do that next time we're in town.

UNPARALLELED PIRATE HISTORY ADVENTURE - FANTASTIC PIRATE HISTORY TOUR!!! The Captain & Claudia were unparalleled hosts and tour guides. I’ve been on SO many history and pirate tours in New Orleans but I’ve never experienced anything like this. The Captain whisked us away on a journey through the centuries, to the swamps & hidden islands of 18th century New Orleans – what an incredible adventure! We were entirely entranced by the stage that was set & explored through The Captain’s pirate adventure – thank you, Captain and Claudia for an outstanding pirate adventure that the entire family enjoyed.

Suspenseful and historical - The tour guide kept us in suspense waiting to hear the next story. As a local, I did not know most of the history he shared in his exciting stories. As he told us, the stereotypical pirate was not the actual ones from the past. We were able to envision the past with his stories!

Don’t miss this!! - My husband and I were lucky enough to get a tour with “the captain”. We were amazed at his level of knowledge and expertise. He was a consummate showman to boot! Can’t recommend this high enough. The captain really needs to write a book on pirate history in New Orleans! Fantastic!
