- Brown_SamanthaKennewick, WA1,829 contributionsThis was a hard review to write. Being our first time in New Orleans, we felt we had to visit Bourbon Street. We walked here in the day time, night time, for drinks, for dinner, for desserts.
First of all, we were not disappointed by all the history and the gorgeous fences, gates, railings, and balconies built with wrought iron going back to the 17th and 18th centuries. It is definitely rich in history. The amount of restaurants, shops, cafes, bars, dessert places is worth the visit. We found so many good places to enjoy. In the evening, we saw a nice parade with a brass band and a lot of people in costumes and some even walking on tall stilts. Very fun. Lots of street performers. They close the street down at night so it is pedestrians only.
Second, yes, it is urban. You will smell stuff that is not pleasant. You will see homelessness and drunkenness and people doing whatever they are doing that is "not to your liking". It is urban. Most of the people are probably from out of town. Manage your expectations then you will not be disappointed.
Very glad we visited the area several times. Is it a place we want to visit every year? Probably not.Written 23 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MargoSpencerRockport, TX206 contributionsIf you like horse racing, you will like this. This is a very nice race course. We got seats in the club house. They recommend you purchase those in advance and if you want to eat, make reservations in the dining area. It costs $80 for six in a box.Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Having had many readings in the past, including tarot, psychic, and medium sessions, I can confidently say that Mato is exceptionally gifted.
If you're in New Orleans, make sure to book a reading with Mato- it was change your life.
I am so grateful for this experience. I will absolutely be booking another reading again.Written 23 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide, Jeremy was THE BEST guide I have ever had on a "ghost tour". He was respectful about the subject matter and the people who the stories focused on. He didn't dramatize the stories with false "folklore and legends" like past tours I have been on. The focus of the tour was based on historical facts which I appreciated. Not only was I entertained but I also learned a lot. Jeremy was knowledgeable, patient with our group (when I probably wouldn't have been ha), and he focused on the history of each event he told us about!!! I will absolutely 100% book again and request his tour because it was so so great (which is an understatement).Written 7 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cary SGulf Shores, AL1 contributionA group of friends and us participated in this course for my wife’s birthday. The class was fun and informative. The owner taught the class and she was knowledgeable about New Orleans history and cocktails from the area. After taking this class, I have a new appreciation for practice of cocktail making and cocktails that are made from fresh ingredients.
I’ve shared this class with other friends visiting New Orleans and I plan on returning in the future.Written 21 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- esherrell82Cookeville, TN4 contributionsAmazing tour that covers all the spooky NOLA stories. So much fun and the tour guides are very knowledgeable. They make time to stop for drinks and a bathroom break at Jean Lafittes. She even opened her own voodoo shop after hours to show us authentic voodoo artifacts.Written 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
