About this tour

New Orleans history comes with a spirited twist on this 120-minute walking tour through the French Quarter. Follow a licensed guide and storyteller for tales of the city’s notorious past, haunted places, and curious bits of knowledge, delivered with humor and plenty of local character.

Along the way, the group can stop to refill drinks as a courtesy, adding a relaxed pause to the experience. Children are welcome, though some venues do not allow them inside; when that happens, the guide waits outside with them. Meet on the sidewalk at the courtyard gate attached to the Legendary Lafitte’s Shop Bar, not inside Lafitte’s Blacksmith Bar.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
