New Orleans Private Tours

FrenchmanStreet music and cocktails walking tour was fantastic, given by local musicians, and took us around to a wide range of music venues with a lot of musician insight, culture and historic info! Great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting insight into New Orleans music scene with a local musician as your guide

We only had 5 days in New Orleans but wanted to see if we could squeeze in a tour of a plantation and the bayou. Dom's full-day excursion was recommended to me by the guide of our in-town private tours, and we couldn't have been happier with his services. Normally it's either plantations OR bayous, due to the great distance between them, but Dom came up with a way for us to do both in one day. I appreciated his insight into which of the popular plantations we should pick, and when he mentioned that Houmas House was the only one that lets you go inside the rooms, I was sold. We showed up for one of the first tours of the day and ended up being the only ones on it. Because Dom knew the tour guide, we got an especially personalized and insightful tour of the house.Houmas House has some of the best restaurants, which was important to us, and we really enjoyed our lunch there. We were also quite impressed with the company Dom chose for our bayou tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining, and the tour felt long enough that it really seemed we were getting our money's worth.Even better, on the way back to town, Dom let us take a quick detour into Mississippi because we'd never been there and wanted to put our feet in it. We had a brief but thoroughly enjoyable visit to the state's visitor's center.But the best part of our tour was Dom himself, and the incredible depth and breadth of his knowledge of the area. We had been hesitant to ask any locals about the impact of Hurricane Katrina, so we were particularly fascinated by his insight as someone born and raised in New Orleans who had lived through Katrina. By the end of our road trip, I felt like I had a much deeper appreciation for the city and its inhabitants than I ever could have gotten from a guidebook or a group tour.I highly recommend New Orleans Private Tours!
