New Orleans 3 hour tour was amazing with Tyra
Tyra was absolutely fantastic! Our tour with her was Saturday July 11, 2026 at 10am. She has an amazing personality, truly loves people, and made our tour so enjoyable. Her knowledge of New Orleans, the places we visited, and the streets we traveled was incredible. We learned so much about the city’s history and culture. She also recommended wonderful restaurants and great places to shop, and we followed her suggestions the very next day—they were all excellent! Tyra made our experience unforgettable, and we highly recommend taking a tour with her. Thank you, Tyra, for such a fun and informative experience!

The Best New Orleans Tour
Our tour operator Anna was fantastic. Not only did she give us a preview on the stops and activities we would be embarking on. She gave us a thorough description of every area we drove through or stopped at. I had researched a lot of other tours and Tours by Isabelle had the most consistent remarks and ratings. We came to New Orleans with a large group and when comparing tours others had taken for various reasons the consensus was we had the best one. Hats off to Isabelle as well as Anna. Great job!

Neil made an already good food tour great. He added history, architecture, the social structures of New Orleans, food history and his personal relationship to the area a big part of the tour. He has an immense knowledge of this town, he obviously loves living here and he happily shared it with us. We are better for the tour.

Take this tour early in your trip so that you can go back and eat at the restaurants.
The food was amazing. I tried food that I didn’t think I would like just to say I tried it, and ended up eating the whole thing because it was so delicious. It is a ton of food, make sure you are really hungry. Go early in your trip so that you can come back to some of the restaurants. We went the day before we were leaving and we all regret that. We wish we would have done it the first day so we could have gone back to the area to eat. We would go back and eat at every single stop we made, plus there were other restaurants we passed that we did not stop at that looked amazing and we wish we would have been able to eat at. There is plenty of free parking in the area. We took an Uber to the tour and back, but wish we would have driven ourselves from the hotel. We could have saved ourselves some money. Our guide was funny and very knowledgeable of the area. I would take this tour again the next time we come to New Orleans. We had crawfish empanadas, red beans and rice balls, catfish po boys, pralines, fried oysters, eggplant with crab, bread pudding, and an amazing pizza.

A look at history in Louisiana, plantation’s life and slavery practices.
It was an amazing tour to get to know the history of the plantations, the importance to the economy and heart Breaking slavery practices. Í liked visiting two different plantations, Laura and Whitley, and having in one a guided tour and in another an audio tour. Robert our tour driver and guide was fantastic. Pick up at our hotel was very convenient and at the exact time provided to us. Everything was confirmed by Isabelle the day before. I highly recommend this tour. Maria

Great Tour in NOLA
What a fabulous tour. Girlfriends and I had the best time. Marc was a wonderful guide - easy, relaxed, knowledgable of the art scene in NOLA and its history. We stopped at various galleries and met several artists, stopped at some insta-worthy street art locations for photos, then coffee. Marc was flexible and totally willing to go with our flow. We’ll do it again on our next trip to NOLA!

Book it! Great tour! Great guide!
Booked the Private Art and Street Art Tour with Marc and NOLA DeTours over Taylor Swift weekend in New Orleans. We had the best time; Marc was a perfect Southern gentleman knowledgeable about New Orleans history and the local arts. Has a very personal connection to New Orleans and the food and art scene. Marc contacted me well before to inquire about what sort of tour we were looking for; he can curate the tour to your preferences and liking. He confirmed everything again the day before and was on time for pick-up. He is part of a storied New Orleans restaurant family, and we were so lucky to meet his gracious parents and view their private art collection. Marc is your guy if you want something unique, curated, and personal. I would also recommend this tour to anyone looking for stunning and unique photo stops or Instagrammable shots.
