    Had a walking tour with Carolyn and couldn’t recommend any more full of information and valuable knowledge

    Awesome tour guide - thank you Keith T.

    This is long overdue, but we loved our tour with Keith T! Been carrying his card in my wallet for so long meaning to write him a review. He was so knowledgeable about New Orleans, had so many fun stories, and was accommodating when I kept having to use the bathroom (drank a lot of water cause it was so hot!) The admission fee was so worth it and included a water bottle as well. The tour was the perfect length - not too short, not too long.

    Poorly Trained Tour Guide

    The tour guide was new to the role and inexperience showed. No group cohesion, presentation sounded rehearsed and there was a lack of passion and storytelling around places/objects. Tour operator should have provided more training and dry runs. It was a waste of our money.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for letting us know and we will let our guide committee your comments.

    LIZ S TOUR: so great.

    We LOVED Liz S’s tour. She is so knowledgable about the city - I lived here for a few years and there was so much I didn’t know I didn’t know until she told me! My favorite part was learning about the history of Voodoo. In terms of a tour guide style she was engaging, but also gave us all moments to think about and have introspective moments about the complicated yet magical history of New Orleans… Also loved how much the city has to thank for the women who have made it as special of a place as it is… Will be recommending to every single person, resident or tourist. Thank you, Liz!!!

    Response from the operator: She is a great guide and thank you for 5 stars

    French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.

    How much does French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.

    Is French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 892 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission?

    +

    Around 312 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New Orleans?

    +

    New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New Orleans?

    +

    February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New Orleans?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in French Quarter Walking Tour With Comp 1850 House Museum Admission?

    +

    Included: Admission to the 1850 House Museum; and Historical French Quarter walking tour by a professional licensed guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
