    This tour company has clearly struck gold with their passionate guides, particularly Captain Jason, who reviewers consistently praise for making pirate history come alive through electric storytelling and genuine expertise. Parents and teenagers alike report staying engaged throughout, which speaks volumes about the guides' ability to balance entertainment with legitimate historical depth. The tours dive into how pirates shaped New Orleans politically and economically, covering the Lafitte brothers and other fascinating characters that most visitors never hear about. The staff gets high marks for flexibility and customer service, accommodating late arrivals and creating memorable experiences whether you're on a crowded tour or end up with a private one. Groups ranging from 6-year-olds to adults all report having a great time, learning genuine historical facts while laughing throughout. One practical note: you'll be standing the entire time, so bring water and a hat for comfort. The shop itself is also worth visiting for pirate-themed goods and friendly staff who clearly love what they do.
