This was our second year booking this Mardi Gras walking tour and plan to make it a tradition! We have also attended the Drunk History Tour and a few others with this small family owned and operated business. Every time we book we always seem to learn more and more (the booze may be a reason we forget a few odds and ends lol) Thanks to our guide Coty we have learned about all the Mardi Gras traditions of New Orleans and are so happy they welcome us to take part in it with them not to mention we love coming to see the incredible parades this time of year! Some of the things we got to see and learn about might seem a little strange but after going on this tour it makes it all so cool now that we understand the history behind it all! We also wanna give a big thank you to Ashli for making our booking process and trip so easy she even checked in on us periodically to ensure things are going good during our trip she’s a keeper.

This is a fantastic tour that is based on all Mardi Gras history from the first Mardi Gras to present. We meet our guide in the French Quarter and the tour started off easily. If action, music and learning a lot of history, cool stories and Mardi Gras traditions while seeing absolutely BEAUTIFUL locations and learning about them is what you are looking for, then look no further. Learn how the French Quarter but even more so how Mardi Gras changed over the years and how some traditions stay exactly the same. We loved how the company was able to incorporate a Mardi Gras themed tour with all the history, dark history, paranormal, vampire voodoo and drinks in one amazingly fun tour. I would like to go on this tour during Lundi Gras or Fat Tuesday however the guide did made so much sense when he said that if you attend on the last two days of carnival - Mardi Gras it’s hard to hear. I think attending today was the perfect date. We learned so much and enjoyed seeing where the parades take place and the greasing of the poles ceremony is wild! So much info and so much fun. I will be booking more tours with them during this trip! More reviews to come on the tours here! Thankfully Mardi Gras lasts a few weeks before it concludes with Fat Tuesday! You can attend anytime of the year but my suggestion is to attend when it’s not so chaotic because it’s hard to hear on the streets with all the hustle and bustle. This company operates on Fat Tuesday which is a great thing because I did research and found that all others are closed for tours. I guess they want to party too. The owners are absolutely amazingly accommodating I accidentally missed my first tour and they allowed us to reschedule without any questions.
