Lower Ninth Ward Tours

This food tour was absolutely worth every single dollar!!! Darrell was a phenomenal tour guide, not only did he take us to the best places to eat he give us an in depth lesson in New Orleans history! Art, music, food, and of course Hurricane Katrina. And he even took us to talk to a survivor by the name of Mr. Green who shared his lost and experience with us!! I am definitely going to book this tour again whenever I go back to New Orleans!!

Dennis was an amazing guide. My kids learned things that will never be taught in the schools’ history books. I’m grateful for the experience.

Listen….this tour was awesome! Our tour guide Darryl M. was an excellent guide. Highly recommend this tour……10/10!

Great experience, informative. I will recommend it to anyone coming to Nola. The city tour was also great, got to meet a real civil rights legend

Elizabeth was personable and informative and our driver was very good. A great overview of New Orleans.

Guide was very insightful. Guide was always caring about the guest. Great experience and the tour was on time.

I am so happy that I had incredible opportunity to take this tour! The tour guide focused on the authentic and often untold stories of African American history and culture. I was truly impressed by the guide’s honesty and depth of knowledge. His candidness in sharing the real history—beyond the typical tourist narrative—was refreshing, eye-opening, and deeply appreciated. He didn't shy away from the hard truths, and his passion for honoring the legacy of African Americans in New Orleans was evident throughout the tour. I left with a greater understanding and respect for the resilience, creativity, and impact of the Black community in shaping this city.The first half of the tour showed up around the city and provided a real history on how the city was built and clarified the white-washed information that is usually provided to the public. Our guide then delivered a powerful and emotional account of how Hurricane Katrina devastated the people of New Orleans, sharing personal stories that brought the tragedy to life. Their heartfelt storytelling created a deep sense of empathy and connection, reminding us of the resilience and strength of the community. We were all left in silence after this part of the presentation.The second half of the tour was a bit more "lit". He shared took us to places were many New Orleans native artists grew up and were they filmed their videos. He also played a lot of music to remind us of who he was talking about. (The music and videos were a bit much for me as a "lame old lady"....but I completely understood the necessity.As a former history teacher who believes in teaching the truth in history, I was in awe of the facts provided throughout the tour. And I am hard to impress! I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn the truth and walk away changed.

Just had the Urban culture and celebrity tour. Our guide, Dennis was terrific, informative, knowledgeable and a blast to be around. Although we felt we knew a bit of New Orleans, we learned so much and came away with a deeper understanding of New Orleans. Highly recommend!

Interesting and fun activity. We learned a lot about the plantation. Wish we could take photos of the inside of house.

Great way to get your bearings of New Orleans. You get a wonderful overview of the city's history. Harris was an absolutely wonderful guide that was knowledgeable on a variety of topics from the cities history to music. Mahogany Jazz Hall was a wonderful recommendation. Highly recommend!

Darryl made the experience memorable! Each location was a vibe. He was a great photographer, driver, and tour guide

We just wrapped up an amazing private tour with Darryl and couldn't be happier. He picked us up right from our hotel and took care of everything. He knows all the best routes to beat the crowds, gave us the inside scoop on the local history, and was incredibly flexible when we wanted to make a quick detour. Darryl is friendly, easygoing, and a fantastic driver. He made our day completely stress-free. 10/10 recommend booking him if you're visiting the area!

This was an amazing and memorable experience, our guide was wonderful and imparted alot of history about New Orleans that we were unaware of.

The combo Tour was a good experience. On the drive to the Whitney Plantation, the The Tour Guide was knowledgeable and pointed out other points of interest. During the Soul of New Orleans City Tour, it was a delight to visit Project Be and to view the aftermath of Katrina.

We had an amazing review. Jay was very knowledgeable and kept us engaged and laughing the entire tour. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting!!

Jay was our tour guide and he had so much information to share. He pointed out some unique places and shared the history behind it. Worth taking during your visit.
