The guides here are clearly the star of the show, with names like Lacey, Hannah Kate, Walter, Kamille, DeAnna, and Angie earning enthusiastic praise across the board. What stands out most is how these guides go beyond memorized scripts to deliver engaging storytelling that keeps everyone interested, from teenagers to seasoned travelers. They're genuinely knowledgeable about New Orleans history, architecture, and local culture, often debunking common myths and answering questions with ease. The Garden District and Witches Coven tours are particularly popular, with many visitors saying these were the best tours they took in New Orleans. People appreciate the intimate group sizes and how personable the guides are, weaving together history, witchcraft lore, and architectural details in entertaining ways. Several reviewers mention returning for multiple tours with this company, which speaks volumes. Even locals bring out-of-town guests here and discover new information about their own city.
Strolling the beauty of the garden district, Walter was a wealth of knowledge as he shared history, architecture, stories and legends. He was a delightful and personable guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. The day after he emailed NOLA recommendations and tips in which we will use for a future trip. I highly recommend Walter and this walking tour.
