“So happy we went! Was interesting for all of our family. Our tour guide was so funny! Props were so cool to see and how they made them. Learned some things about the floats.”
A small-group French Quarter walk from Jackson Square to the Presbytère, with St. Louis Cathedral, Pontalba story, and Mardi Gras plus Katrina exhibits.
“Our guide Daniel was fantastic. He’s a history major so he knew everything about the city. We could have spent all day with him he so interesting and informative. Highly recommend!!”
French Quarter Mardi Gras history walk with haunted stories and optional EMF ghost hunting. 1-2 hours, $33, ends at Jackson Square.
“This was an awful NON experience. No one showed up to give us a tour. When I contacted someone, they told me the tour was canceled and we could take a tour 8 hours later. We were so frustrated as we had planned our day around that tour. I would give this a 0 star rating but the website wouldn’t let me go on if I did that.”
Mambo Nights in New Orleans pairs Mardi Gras World, a mask workshop, open bar drinks, distillery tastings, and a dinner plus burlesque show.
“I enjoyed this tour so much - and I have a beautiful Mardi Gras Mask to wear to the parades this year!”
