New Orleans Secrets Tours

Barrett was a great tour guide on the cocktail tour. We learned a lot about New Orleans history and enjoyed some great cocktails! Thanks so much! EJ was a wonderful tour guide on the Magazine St. food tour! What a great guy! We had a fabulous day!

Really enjoyed this tour. Adelai was a super fun and hilarious tour guide. I learned a lot about the history and some infamous stories of the French Quarter. Highly recommend. It was also nice how small our tour was compared to others we saw.

The History of Voodoo tour was phenomenal! Our guide , Andersen, was beyond amazing- knowledgeable, personable, fun, and accommodating (particularly with the heat!) He welcomed all of our questions and took the time to explain everything, along with many other unrelated facts about NOLA. He even took the time to walk me close to my car after my husband needed to leave early, pointing out architectural details and sharing fun stories along the way. He gave excellent recommendations and the conversation about tour and non-tour related things was even better. This tour taught us so much about the practice of Voodoo (it’s fascinating!!) and is worth every second for anyone who is interested in it beyond the Voodoo doll 🙂

We picked this tour since they prioritized smaller groups (9 people or less) our tour took place on a Thursday evening and it ended up just being our group, 3 adults, with the tour guide. So we essentially received a private ghost tour which was great! Our tour guide Adelai was fantastic and super personable and made our tour a great experience! She gave us some local food and bar recommendations too. Her hospitality was so appreciated by our group and she was able to really tailor the tour to our interests. You could tell that she really loved and understood the city. I'm so glad that we chose New Orleans Secrets and I would highly recommend their ghost tour!

Such a fun and delicious experience! We took this vegan food tour in our hometown of New Orleans and were blown away. Mark, our guide, was super knowledgeable and passionate — he shared tons of great info and restaurant tips. We tried amazing plant-based dishes from multiple spots, some we hadn’t even heard of before. Even as locals, we discovered new favorites. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the vegan side of NOLA!

My husband and I had our very own private ghost tour with Barrett, and it was fantastic from start to finish. Barrett is a phenomenal storyteller. He kept us engaged the entire time with a mix of history, mystery, and humor. We explored some really beautiful and atmospheric parts of the city that we might not have found on our own. The pace was perfect, and it felt like a fun, spooky evening stroll with a friend who knew all the secrets of New Orleans. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something entertaining, informative, and a little eerie!

We had a wonderful time learning all about Voodoo from Anderson today. He was an incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging tour guide who made the tour feel very personal. Anderson took a keen interest in getting to know us while ensuring all our questions were answered at each stop before moving onto the next phase of the tour. We would highly recommend this tour company, and Anderson specifically, if you are considering an informative and entertaining Voodoo tour in NOLA. We also took the guided the Ghost tour from Barrett last evening which was equally great. He’s a gifted storyteller and a wealth of information. New Orleans has a ton of macabre history and Barrett did a wonderful job isolating history from folklore. And the stories were chilling. Just as with Anderson’s Voodoo tour, we highly recommend Barrett’s ghost tour!

I would give 4.5 stars for the Magazine Street Food Tour. I moved back to New Orleans a year ago, so it was great being a tourist in your own city. BJ was a great guide and gave a lot of history and insights into New Orleans and New Orleans food. Based on previous food tours in other cities, I assumed there would be more walking…especially to burn off those delicious calories :) It would have been nice to maybe walk through the neighborhoods and the tour should have ended with a local sweet dish. I’m still very satisfied with the experience and will tell all future guests to do a tour with New Orleans Secrets.

Food tour of Garden District! Nice experience to see both the garden district on Magazine Street. We tried alligator sausage, po`boys, eggplant neopolian, shrimp and pork tacos and dessert. Ty did a good job of telling us about modern renditions of southern food. Don't expect jambalaya, gumbo or the like. The small group totals nine people. Lots of cute shops to look at after the tour.

Our food tour was PHENOMENAL all thanks to our guide BJ! He was super funny and engaging and you could tell that he had a genuine love and interest for food, history, and sharing New Orlean's culture. I went in a group of 8-9 people (i only knew 3 other people before going) and it was the perfect size. All of the food that BJ got us was delicious, there were no long waits anywhere we went, and he was even kind enough to let restaurants know in advance of my shellfish allergy and got feedback on alternatives that I liked to put creative spins on my replacement dishes. I mean it when I say that if I ever come back to New Orleans BJ will be the first person I call!

I'm so glad I did my research and selected New Orleans Secret Tours for my food tour. We had a small group of three; a couple and myself as a solo traveler, and were lucky to have BJ as our guide. I loved trying foods I normally would never think of as well as learning about the history about the city and unique foods. BJ was definitely a wealth of information. The Alligator Sausage and Eggplant Napoleon were my favorites, and ironically nothing I would've attempted if I hadn't been on this tour.

There are a lot of haunted tour in NOLA to choose from but do yourself a favor and only book with Secret Tours! There were a few things that drew us towards booking with secret tours. One was that the group size is capped at nine people maximum. I can't tell you how many other tour groups we walked by with 25 or more people and many of them struggling to either stay close to the tour guide, or even hear the information when the tourist stopped at some of their destinations. With our small group, it felt like we had our own private tour guide, and could easily ask lots of questions, and engage directly with each other. The second is that there is no gimmicks. The tour guides aren't gonna dress up like pirates or vampires, or try to scare you with spooky tales of what may or may not have happened. The secret tours are going to give you the facts around some of the most notorious haunted places in NOLA and that is scary and interesting enough! Our tour guide, Ty, was awesome! She greeted us, made a connection with each of the tour members and was informative and engaging with us throughout the two hours. It felt like we got a ton of information and lots of opportunity to ask all sorts of additional questions. The best thing was that you could absolutely tell that Ty loves being a tour guide. Some of the questions got her excited about giving us additional background behind the stories and folklore. She loved sharing with us and we loved learning from her. They offer a wide range of tour types as well and I would expect each of them to be amazing. Absolutely book your tour with New Orleans Secret tours!

We took the Magazine Street Foodie tour and were blown away! It was our first foodie tour and we'll be doing them first thing when we travel to new cities! Not only was Mark a WEALTH of information on the overall history of New Orleans we got a wonderful education on the transitions of different foods in New Orleans throughout the years and how different cultures affected and changed them. It was fascinating! The food was MORE than I ever expected on a foodie tour... I expected small bites and samples of food. Mark warned us not to eat breakfast beforehand and we were still extremely full by the end of the tour! :) The food was not only amazingly delicious, it wasn't the stereotypical NoLa food you can get anywhere... this is what the locals eat and local favorites but elevated. I love that this isn't just a tour where the guide has memorized facts... Mark knows his food and it's clear the company is constantly doing research to ensure they're giving the best tour possible. They are also an AMAZING resource for recommendations for meals/cocktails/restaurants for your trip so definitely pick their brain! Can't recommend it enough!

Great tour of NOLA led by a very passionate guide. Recommended! Great time. Little bit spooky, but fun.

Title: A Gastronomic Journey through New Orleans: Unforgettable Flavors, Captivating Stories Review: Embarking on a New Orleans food tour led by the charismatic and knowledgeable guide, Mark, was a transcendent experience that delighted all my senses. Mark's expertise in the city's history and trivia engaged me in captivating conversations throughout the tour. Our first stop at Mahony introduced me to the heavenly Angus 'Pot Roast' Beef po' boy, dressed to perfection. Accompanied by the Mahony fish house punch, the flavors harmonized flawlessly, leaving an indelible mark on my palate. At Dat Dog, I savored the adventurous combination of Alligator Sausage with crawfish etouffee, accompanied by Pariah Brewing's refreshing Canebrake brew. This unconventional pairing exemplified the audacious spirit of New Orleans cuisine. Basin showcased the city's seafood treasures, with chargrilled oysters delivering smoky brininess, Blue Crab Beignets offering delicate bliss, and fried dill pickles providing an addictive crunch. The Athena Dream cocktail transported me into the mythic realms of New Orleans. Joey Ks revealed culinary artistry through the eggplant napoleon with fried shrimp and crawfish cream, while the red beans and rice offered comforting simplicity. The white sangria refreshed my palate, perfectly complementing the flavors. Haydels Bake Shop concluded our journey with the indulgent Doberge cake, a masterpiece of layered delights. Beyond the exceptional cuisine, Mark's guidance introduced us to the vibrant history and artistic spirit of New Orleans. The private tour of Terrance Osborne artist gallery was a highlight, allowing us to meet the artist, capture memories, purchase captivating artwork, and even win a signed print. In the spirit of the late Anthony Bourdain, this New Orleans food tour surpassed mere gastronomy. It was an immersive adventure that celebrated culture, history, and the human connection found in shared meals. I wholeheartedly recommend this five-star experience to fellow travelers seeking to explore the soul of New Orleans through its culinary treasures. Prepare to be enraptured by the flavors, stories, and infectious spirit of this remarkable city. Bon appétit!

There are so many things that go into being a stellar tour guide: topical knowledge, of course, but reading the group to know WHICH knowledge to share, awareness of surroundings, mobility and speed of the group, storytelling (versus lecturing) is huge, verbal skills, being personable and vulnerable enough to show personality...our guide, Ty, checked EVERY box! So glad we trusted New Orleans Secrets with our precious vacation time --- I'm now obsessed with learning about Micaela Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba!!

We always want to get off the beaten tourist path and really sink into the city. Thank you Mark for giving us the chance to do exactly that. We are cuisine tour junkies and this tour was AMAZING. Great insights, insider info and INCREDIBLE FOOD! This is no tasting teaser...this is a MEAL. We were nourished in every way. If you're thinking about a food tour...DO NOT MISS THIS ONE.

if there were 10 stars, i would give the 3 hour garden district food tour that. Rodger was hilarious, a local, incredibly knowledgeable about everything. he knew the ins and outs about every dish, street, and all things NOLA. i can not reccomend this food tour enough. the price is steep, but you will leave with some new facts, 10 lbs heavier, and youll feel accomplished. you must book&pay for your tour ahead of time. we paid about $80 pp. the only type of meat i eat is chicken and seafood. please email the business and make sure this tour is for you. it worked out perfectly for me. there were adjustments and options made easily for me at every place i went to. i left so full, and with a doggy bag. wear comfy shoes, go to the bathroom when you can, make sure you have an extra hour in case your tour runs late. ours was long because we were having so much fun. after the first few spots, Rodger knew the itis was around the corner, so he took us to an art gallery for about 20 mins. we learned about a local artist, took a break from eating, and was capable of learning more about this amazing city. they give you a little booklet that you can take notes on, has the locations of where youre going, and you even get a little hot sauce to take home. talk about little touches from this company! great brand and marketing also! you start out in the garden district on magazine street, and hit up 5 food spots. 1 of these spots gives you an alcoholic beverage. 1 of these spots is a dessert spot. and then you will see an art gallery. you stick to magazine street but do walk about half a mile. tour starts at 11 am. we went to: Mahoneys (poboys and fries with a choice of a drink - veggie option available) dat dog (i had the chicken dog instead of a meat dog) Basin (char grilled oysters and blue crab beignets) Terrance osborne gallery Joey Ks (red rice and beans -meat based & eggplant napolean) Haydels Bakery ( 2 types of cake).

We went on a food tour with Mark and had an amazing experience! All of the food we had was delicious and some of the best we had in New Orleans during our visit. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the history of New Orlean's food scene. We got to enjoy foods we would not normally get and Mark also made plenty of other suggestions for us to visit during the rest of our trip!

Adela is the ABSOLUTE best!!! I would give her SIX stars if I could. We took the cocktail tour with her the day before for my bachelorette. She has the best combination of humor, knowledge, and performance. So much so, in fact, that we told her we had a tour next day. Lo and behold - she arranged to be our tour guide again. And we had just as much fun! I cannot recommend her more. And the group size is PERFECT!

Tour#1 We've been to New Orleans 3-4 times prior to this visit. Being the self proclaimed foodies we decided to go on the Food Tour. We had such a great experience trying new foods and learning about the history behind the flavors. Mark was so knowledgeable and full of great recommendations for us to try on our own. Off we went trying all the recommendations bumping into some of the best part of New Orleans the people. Tour #2 We had such a great time we decided to go on their Ghost Tour. Ty was so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans like a walking encyclopedia of information. As we walked along on this tour we bumped into the larger size groups (like 20) we both looked at each other and were grateful for being able to hear our guide and each other as their tours are limited to 9. Tour #3 I mean we were on a roll and when in NOLA. The Voodoo tour was so informational and fun Anderson had just the right amount of mojo to keep us laughing and amused throughout the whole tour. Some parts of the tour were dark, but the last stop made it all come together. We were Grateful for the experience and gaining a better understanding of New Orleans Voodoo. Tour #4 We just had to do the cocktail tour as our grand finale. Mark again one of New Orleans natives who just wants to make sure that everyone is having a great time and enjoying the best spirits of New Orleans took us on a great tour of good drinks and conversation along the way. As I speak for my partner in crime and I We can honestly say we got the best of New Orleans Secrets from this awesome tour company. Quick tip: Bring Cash it is a great way to tip and some stops may only take cash.

I made a great decision while visiting NOLA and booked the Magazine Street Foodie Tour. Mark provided a tour of Magazine Street in the Garden District that included amazing food and interesting historical and cultural facts about the area. Unlike my previous NOLA food tour, this tour included only a few other participants. I say fortunately because walking around narrow NOLA streets with a large group is a pain. Our guide, Mark, has written a book regarding NOLA secrets, so he was well qualified to present the information. He also loves food and the city, so he was more than qualified to select the best restaurants in the area and to select the best dishes on their menus. We visited 5 restaurants, four restaurants serving savory dishes, and a baker serving dessert. Please beware...its a LOT of food. So come hungry. My very favorite was Joey K's. The eggplant Napoleon was to die four. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. On my next trip to NOLA...I will sign up for New Orleans Secrets Cocktail Tours! This tour is slightly more expensive than the one I booked last time, however, the portion size and the group size were well worth the investment. I do want to note that this tour is not in the French Quarter...probably about a 10-12 minute drive from my hotel on Bourbon St./Canal St. It was an inexpensive UBER ride over to Magazine St. I found this to be a plus, as it gave me an opportunity to sample the restaurants that the locals prefer.

We had a great time (and full bellies) on our foodie tour with Mark! He planned a scrumptious selection of 4 savory stops and 1 sweet stop. We got to eat food that is important to the history and cultures that make New Orleans so special. Mark was extremely personable and taught us so much of the history that went along with the food. I highly recommend this tour!

Wow...just wow. BJ was an amazing guide. I tried food I would never order on my own. This is a must in New Orleans and is so fun for families or couples. Our group was small, but it was intimate and memorable. Thanks again, BJ!

Our tour was a very small group, which like other reviewers, I liked. Our guide was friendly and had a lot of interesting history to share about fires and settlers; however, I was standing in place WAY too long in spots for comfort ( especially the beginning) and made the tour feel like a standing lecture ...I was close to asking, 'are we going to start any time soon? ' It was my first ever "haunted" tour and expected more locations than the four. Something to do other than Bourbon Street at night I suppose

What a great tour! The staff was very friendly and helpful when I called last minute. Many of the tours don't extend beyond 5 pm which was inconvenient for me. My tour guide Brittawnee was amazing and very funny. We had a great time. She went above and beyond what I expected. She even had bug spray she shared. What a professional!!

We did the French quarter tour with Dennis and it was incredible! We learned so much about the city and had so much fun! Dennis' knowledge of history and relevant pop culture, as it relates to NOLA, was astounding. Every detail of the tour had been thought out and we felt so well cared for the entire time. Thank you and we hope we can do the garden district next time!!

Three of us went on the 3 hour foodie walking tour in the garden district led by Ty. We had such a GREAT experience! There were 5 stops (secret of course) that provided so much food and beverage, each one a thoughtful choice to show off the city's food. Our guide Ty was the best ... Ty was informative, funny, engaging and super knowledgeable about New Orleans history and cuisine. My husband and I enjoy these types of tours when we travel and I have to say this was the best so far. It went by so fast, was a good value and just a really fun time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes an assortment of food opportunities in a cool part of the city! Also, the walking is pretty easy so no worries if you aren't up for a long walk but prefer the restaurant options so this doesn't cut into your time!

This was a fun tour. Like most ghost tours I've done, it's mostly a historical tour and not something you should expect to see a ghost. We visited a variety of locations and the guide explained the history of the hauntings. Our tour guide was VERY dramatic and made the evening fun.

We had a wonderful experience with this tour company! While on vacation we wanted to take a few tours to learn the history of NOLA. We were not disappointed. For our first tour we selected the ghost tour and it was fantastic! Ty our tour guide was amazing. She was super informative and captured our attention throughout the tour. For our second tour we selected the garden district tour and it was just as great as our first tour! Angela our tour guide was a real treat. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of NOLA. She even gave us a few tips from the foodie tour that they have and we truly appreciated it. We were so happy that we took the time out to complete these tours! We loved every minute of it and learned so much. I would definitely recommend this tour company to anyone. If you have the opportunity to check them out do yourself a favor and go for it.

Mark was an amazing host and guide for this food tour, a few of the dishes we would have never tried, but the expert recommendations were on point. And you can get drinks in addition to the first drink, even though they weren't part of the tour at the recommendation of the guide, which made the trip even that much better. I loved the additional history that was layered into the stories around the food and the locations. Highly recommend this tour, even if you've done food tours in the past, like we have. The size of the group wasn't too big, which was also a huge plus.

My wife and I went on the LGBT Queer History Tour guided by the knowledgable and welcoming Ty. It was a fantastic tour; the details and information shared left us both moved and eager to learn more about NOLA's rich lgbt history. Ty, especially, was fantastic. They offered additional details and color throughout the entire tour; it really felt like they went above and beyond for us. They also gave us some great documentary, book, and very importantly, FOOD! recommendations for the area. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Save some time to step away from the party to learn about the rich LGBT history of the city-- it's well worth it. Plus, you'll get some great tips on what to explore later.

Angela was our tour guide she was awesome. This was the best tour we've had. She gave us New Orleans history. While explaining specific drinks that originated in New Orleans. We learned and drink with lots of fun. Highly would recommend it, can't wait for our next tour.

We were only down in NOLA for a few days in November 2022, but we had to take a ghost tour for the French quarter while we were in town, and oh man was finding this tour company worth it! They cap tours out at 8 people, so it really feels personal interacting with your tour guide. And oh my GOD our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal for our tour! She was absolutely incredible, regarding the history with respect and never sensationalizing anything that happened. She provided a clear picture of the history, as well as giving us the lore and legend of the individual stops, ranging from Lalaurie mansion to Muriel's, and I overall could not be happier with our experience. Even despite the rain, she managed to make the tour a phenomenal time. I would absolutely utilize this tour company again, and plan to on our next trip.

We booked a garden district 2 hour tour with another couple and Dennis was an amazing guide! I loved the smaller tour group so we could get to know him better and ask a lot of questions, and it was clear that Dennis not only knew a ton of awesome information about New Orleans, but he also was super passionate about the history, the culture, and sharing it with others. He had awesome recommendations for food in the area and experiences we couldn't miss during our weekend in New Orleans. The price point was great for the experience offered and we will definitely recommend for friends and visitors in the future! Thanks so much for everything Dennis!! Was such a great morning!

Hands down best foodie walking tour I've been on - this is my 4th one. BJ our tour guide was great. He was very informative about the history of New Orleans, hurricane Katrina. He knew so much about food and flavors. And just as the tour said you will be full ... and we were stuffed. I would take his tour again ... we all had a great time.

Our food tour was an amazing way to experience the food of New Orleans. Thank you Roger.

So very glad that we went with the New Orleans secret tours for my son's private bachelor party cocktail tour. The process of registration was quite easy and they were very easy to work with in when setting up a tour time convenient for our group. Ty, who was our tour guide, did an outstanding job, and made it much more than just a 'drink crawl' (although there was a good amount of that too!). Ty was able to tell us the background history of not only the drinks we were going to have, but also the illustrious, and even sometimes infamous, history of New Orleans. Our group of 14 were tremendously happy with this tour and I was thanked at least eight times for booking with them. I strongly recommend this tour group for private or public tours as they are good people, friendly, knowledgeable, and just fun to tour with.

DO NOT MISS JAMES on the Cemetery Tour! After looking up various tour offerings, we wanted a smaller tour. Unlike other tours where you are loaded and unloaded from a bus, or have massive crowds to deal with, we picked New Orleans Secret due to their small size. We did three tours on this recent trip with them, including two food tour and the amazing Cemetery Tour with James. The food tours were great with both tour guides providing great insides on the foods, culture and origination of many of the dishes we had. They definitely take you to top notch places where you'll get plenty of food for your $. Great value for sure. Now, the highlight for us was James and the Cemetery tour. James is a walking encyclopedia, professor, comedian, and friendly guide who happens to be one of the owners. Nothing like a person who both owns a business and puts in the time working it too. We learned so much from James who truly enjoys what he does and if there is a question you ask, he probably knows the answer. He also gave us some great tips of food, based on our likes, not based on some connection with a restaurant. This was a real personal recommendation based on our similar likes. The tour was amazing and while other people were on tour in huge groups (like 20+ walking in a line where you would never hear the tour guide if you were in the back), there are only 8 max on our tours (we had 4 the day we were with James). You felt as if you were on a personal private tour that was focused on you. James also dispelled a lot of myths about something you'll have to go on tour with him to hear about it (I don't want to ruin the surprise) but his knowledge in New Orleans history is wide and deep. We'll be back to tour with them again as we didn't have enough time to do them all. 5 stars all the way!

We took the Magazine St food tour, and it was one of our favorite tours! This is not a tasting tour... come hungry! We had full plates at 5-6 different places! We also took full advantage of the house cocktail specialty's! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeableaboutbyhe area, the history and the restaurants! If you like to see what else there is in Nee Orleans besides Bourbon St and enjoy history and discovering the locals favs .. highly recommended!

All i have to say is Mark is the Man for N.O. Knowledge. Our family enjoyed the Magazine Street Foodie Tour. We knew it would be ok, but our minds were blown away by the knowledge, hospitality, & grub!!!! You have to try this even if you have been to New Orleans plenty of times. Nothing like it. I triple recommend it to anyone who enjoys "true" experiences & not that cookie cutter stuff. Kudos & Thanks for the enriching experience Mark, something my family will cherish forever!!!

Great cocktail and french quarter history tour! This is my 3rd time and the tour keeps improving. Best way for visitors to the quarter to get the lay of the land. Highest recommendation!

BJ is da man! Had a wonderful time sampling a "taste" of New Orleans in the Garden District with historical context provided by BJ, a NO native. The conversation was engaging, informative and fun. The food was exceptional. The restaurants were beautiful and staff attentive. Be prepared to eat and drink at stops down Magazine Street. Fun, fun, fun. Value greater than $ spent. Highly recommend.

Visiting New Orleans and we decided to do a food tour. I had no idea what a magical experience it would be! Mark created an experience where it felt like we were visiting an old friend who absolutely loves their city and sharing that love and joy with us. Weaved into the experience were stories and history and of course delicious food and drink. His love for New Orleans and everything about it was infectious. I had been having a hard time letting go of some things from work, just spinning around in my head, but the amazing tour was just what I needed to let it go and be in the moment and truly enjoy and experience New Orleans. We enjoyed the experience so much that we ended up booking 3 more tours with New Orleans Secrets. The Ghost tour with Ty captured our imaginations with Ty's incredible storytelling, and the Voodoo Tour with Anderson was fascinating and eye opening, and each tour guide created the same feeling, that we were old friends. We finished up the round of tours with Mark creating once again an experience of pure joy on the Cocktail tour. I am so honored to have met these wonderful tour guides and I can't wait to go back to New Orleans and hopefully meet the rest of the crew! Thank you so much!!!!

What a great way to kick off a New Orleans girls weekend! We did a food tour with Mark. First of all, this company prides itself in having small group (as in 8 people max) but we had Mark all to ourselves to answer every food question we had. We took us to several restaurants in the garden district that gave a solid representation of New Orleans cuisine. Now, candidly, I pulled Mark aside and said I don't love New Orleans food -- he shattered that preconception with his knowledge of food history for the city he clearly knows and loves! I am now a convert and can't wait to come back. Not only was this tour delicious it also informed me of the incredible history that contributed to New Orleans! Bonus, Mark also gave us his card and encouraged us to text with any food questions and recommendations for places to try! I couldn't recommend this group more!

We absolutely LOVED our Ghosts of the French Quarter Tour! Roger was knowledgeable and captivating. I love when a guide gets to know the group dynamics and plays into them with his humor. As we walked around in our group of 6, we saw big groups where the guide had to yell or was dressed up for the tour. It was nice to be in a small group with a tour guide who kept it real with us. The stories really do tell themselves, no need for the cheesy theatrics. Plan to arrive 15 mins early so you can get a drink before you begin! Roger and New Orleans Secrets Tours killed it. That eye contact though. ;)

Great tours. Unique places and tour guides. There are sooooo many wonderful places to eat and drink in New Orleans, wouldn't you like an experienced friend to show you the best spots?

We visited on May 13th and did a 2 hour Garden District Tour. I couldn't decide what was more impressive - the homes we saw or our tour guide, Dennis! Dennis educated us on the beautiful homes of the Garden District as well as the rich history, all while including informative, personal anecdotes as we went along. He was very conscious of the extremely hot, sunny day and made sure we were in the shade whenever we could be. He personalized the already intimate tour (there were only four of us!) by asking each of us things about us and where we were from and made the tour so fun. When we come back to New Orleans, we will be sure to book another tour!

The Magazine Street Foodie Tour was totally worth the price tag. We had 5 food stops and even a few sightseeing pit stops. Our guide, Roger, was engaged and knowledgeable. The food we tried was definitely off-the-beaten-path NOLA dishes you can't easily find anywhere else. We even had a delightful intermission at the recently opened Terrance Osborne gallery. Roger had a lot of insightful anecdotes to share about this famous hometown artist - he knows about a lot more than just food! Come HUNGRY!!

We went on the Ghost tour with Roger and he was amazing! He was a plethora of information, FUNNY, and told it like it is. Would totally do other reviews with him/this company.

This is one of those things that you think about often because it was that good. Seriously. The food the guide and experience 10/10. Do it. Solo or with friends/family, you must try it.

We did the garden district food tour. It was amazing! There was a ton of delicious food. We were so full that we skipped dinner that night. Our guide, Ty, was great. She was super personable and taught us a lot about NOLA history and culture. Highly recommend!

Best tour this side of Mississippi! Dennis was fantastic and REALLY knows his history. Pleasant tour throughout the French Quarter, Jackson Square and the River. Fascinatingly articulated. Would recommend to anyone I know visiting The Big Easy.

We did several tours through them on our first trip to New Orleans. Dennis provided us with wonderful and informative tours in the French Quarter, and the Garden District, as well as some great food recommendations. Evian gave an excellent tour of the history of Voodoo/Vodou. Would highly recommend them, they were lovely small tours.

Roger- this message is for you my dude. it's been two weeks since we've been home and we miss you. if only we could come back to the moment when you were giving us a tour and our family (mainly ariel ) interrupted you every 5 seconds... life would be bliss. thank you for the amazing tour and for your amazing patience. for yelp purposes, book the french quarter history & cocktail tour. roger is a hoot and the tours are informative and very cool. call me roger i love you .

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us tons of information we would have never gotten walking the Garden District and cemetery alone. It was a small group which helped make the experience tailored more to us and gave us time to ask questions. Angela was a A+ guide. Thank you!

FOODIE TOUR SO MUCH FUN and a great value( Magazine Dr) Can't believe we ate so much and do well in just a half mile. This tour checks all the boxes- great food, small groups, wonderful guide First cocktail and coffee included. Roger suggested cocktail pairing after stop 1. (He was tight every time ) He our the history of each dish in the context of his city. We would recommend this tour over a Bourbon St tour any day and would recommend NEW ORLEANS SECRETS to our best friends. We're over 60( going on 40) and the other couple was much younger. We had a really great time together. Thanks Roger!!!

LITERALLY THE BEST THING IVE EVER DONE IN NEW ORLEANS! The tourists sites were awesome but that's nothing compared to our amazing/knowledgeable tour guide TY! Ty gives you the most authentic ghost tour experience you can pay for! Ty doesn't try and oversell the ghost or haunted experience at all! They hit us with only facts of the great/gruesome history of the French quarter. Def recommend you do a night tour preferably while raining, sets the stage perfectly for Ty to knock the ghost tour out of the park! I will be back and I can't wait for my next tour with them.
