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.

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.
My friend booked the Historic Garden District tour so when it started at the White farm house with a discussion of ancestral witch craft I was a little startled. But that feeling quickly changed with Hannah Kate's presentation. She is incredibly engaging and her knowledge of the Garden District was fantastic. She is also an amazing story teller. I had a wonderful time, even though it was well over 90 degrees, because Hannah Kate kept is the shade and took great care of us. I strongly recommend this tour even if witch craft isn't your thing, as the architecture, the history and the beauty of the Garden District combine seamlessly with Hannah Kate'a talk.
