FABULOUS AND FUN FRENCH QUARTER TOUR!

muthecaren, Apr 2024

This (strictly for adults) tour is so fun and fascinating! Our guide, Jamie, is madly in love with NOLA, and she enthusiastically shares her well-researched knowledge with the group. She's happy to answer questions and adds in juicy tidbits as you walk alongside her through the darkened streets. Such an engaging way to learn a bit about the unique and powerful women who have populated NOLA's past. DON'T HESITATE, BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

Wonderful guide and content, just too many people

James_R, Apr 2024

Our guide Rhody was incredible! Such a positive person who was filled with information and excited to lead the tour. If you get her consider yourself lucky. The three stars is because the tour was supposed to be capped at no more than nice people (we had 30 on our tour). So many people were drunk and/or hungover that it took a long time to walk between stops and we ended 25 minutes late. Our guide and topic was fun, but the experience and planning could have been better.

Great tour

Anne_M, Apr 2024

The tour was amazing. Dolton was very knowledgeable about the area and the events that took place. He tells the dark stories of events and adds his intellectual humor which made the tour fun. I would highly recommend this tour with Dolton

Rhodesia: the Baddest B×tch of them ALL!

KEIDRA_C, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Rhodesia was nothing short of awesome! She was enthusiastic, engaging, polite, thoughtful, funny and all around fun! She was everything a tour guide should be!

Had a great time

Terri_P, Mar 2024

Our guide, Rhody, was energetic and funny. We learned a lot about history and the women who shaped it. A few spooky stories thrown in and we had a great time

Fun times

Vivian_M, Feb 2024

The stories were exciting and interesting and the tour guide Rhoda made it come alive. We loved the positive girl power behind the stories. 🙂

Who runs NOLA....GIRLS!

Derick_T, Nov 2023

A great tour to learn about all of the "Bad Broads" of NOLA history. We loved hearing stories (some we knew already but learned some new facts) about these women and loved exploring the city while taking in the sights. Getting to see the LaLaurie Mansion and Marie Laveau's old house location were highlights. Our guide, Ana, was great as well.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your review on Ana and We are glad to hear you enjoyed the tour as a whole. We push our guides to perform the very BEST they can, in order to give you all as guests the exceptional experience you are wanting. Please come back for another tour with GCT!

Ghost Stories to Entertain

Lenard_W, Nov 2023

There is no house in the French Quarter without a spirit roaming the halls. The stories told along the route on this tour are the women who stood against the norm, whether criminal or vindictive. Stay at one of the hotels ar your own peril. One of these women may appear in your mirror, walk followed by a brass band, or even choke you in your bedroom.

Thank you for your review and We are glad to hear you enjoyed the tour as a whole. We push our guides to perform the very BEST they can, in order to give you all as guests the exceptional experience you are wanting. Please come back for another tour with GCT!

The reason I gave it 4 stars is the group was too large and it was hard to hear the guide a lot.

Deborah_A, Oct 2023

I liked how informative our tour guide was. You could tell she knew what she was talking about. She was very animated as well!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for your review! We are so glad to hear you had a great time on the tour. However we are sorry it was a little hard to hear the guide, during this time of year it can get loud and wild. It was our pleasure to have you as our guest.

Cool tour

Interesting but too long. Really disruptive people on the tour

Katherine_D, Jun 2021

The tour content was interesting, but not enough to warrant an hour and a half tour. I think everyone was ready for it to be over after an hour. Plus, there was a party of four or five people who were extremely disruptive. The tour guide held the start time for 10 minutes waiting for them to arrive. During the tour, they talked through the entire tour, and loudly. Despite many people asking them to stop, they never did. The tour operator said something to them once or twice and they never stopped talking. They smoked the entire time and the tour guide had to tell them twice to step to the side away from the group. At the end of the tour, one of the members of the group started verbally attacking other people in the group and as they left, literally chased them down the street. They ruined the evening. Tour guides need a way to handle people like this.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Awesome

Tina_K, Aug 2019

Out of all six tours I would say this one was the best. Christine was an awesome guide he knows how to tell a story and makes it fun and interesting all at the same time. So much to take in and honestly didn't want the tour to end.
