We loved that you go at your pace and could leave and join as you wished, we also loved the interactive tip with the vampire speakeasy!!! We would recommend using earbuds and taking a phone charger.

My husband and I found this self-paced Walking Tour to be very enjoyable and even though I have visited New Orleans many times, I discovered a few hidden gems!

Pamela_G

I was able to see and hear live performances. I love the deep dive attraction and the self guided one is better for us solo travelers. Only down side is my GPS would go crazy from time to time and I had to restart my phone. When I say off I mean by 6000+ miles. But I loved

Cherie_G

What we liked: that we could do the tour at our own pace in our own time and stop for drinks and lunch! What we didn’t like: some instructions are confusing and others missing, ie: pirates alley just played music and we had to work out where to go based on the next information! Some of the information is out of date, either the reference is no longer there or has changed hands ie: school with mural in the car park is undergoing renovation and has boarding up. Would suggest the tour is re-done and updated where necessary

Melissa_L

Doesn’t guide you on to where to go and got lost multiple times. Ended up frustrated and ended tour early.

Maryia_K

Self guided tour was a great option for someone, who is visiting for the first time. A lot of awesome historic facts and a way to explore the city at your own pace.

Loved this as a great way to get oriented in the French quarter and we saw things that we may have missed including a teacher and pupil demonstration at Homer Plessey school - they are trying to keep it open in the heart of the French quarter.

Samantha_L

We loved the history and the customizable pacing that the self guided tour provided. In a city as historically rich as New Orleans, we connected the sites with the history without having to pay the higher priced guided tours.
