So Boring it’s Scary
Julie_M, October 2026
Long and boring. Not scary. Some interesting history but not worth the time or the money. I’m sure there are better options.

Chris was an excellent tour guide and just so much fun to be around. His retellings of the French quarters history was so immersive and delightful that we were bummed when the tour ended.

Entertaining but too long
Sharon_B, October 2026
It was myself, my 22 yo daughter and my mom
On this tour. Aari was funny and knowledgeable. I don’t know if it was his own choice or the tour itself but I would say it was 30-45 minutes too long. We started off with 30 people and the last half hour, there were only 17 people left. He was entertaining but we were ready to stop at least half hour earlier.
