    So fun!

    This was amazing and so fun! The tour guide knows her stuff! She was funny and insightful. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Yesssssss! That's the combo that we hope for right there. While group chemistry is hard to predict, our approach is to lead with knowledge and provide some meaningful insight into the complex past of New Orleans. While we do our absolute best to be the type of ambassadors the city of New Orleans deserves, we understand there's lots of activities luring you while here. Thank you so much for spending your time with us and leaving a great review, they really help us stay visible in a noisy online world.

    Great tours

    We took two tours with Karen Fernandez. She was very knowledgeable and made the tours very interesting and entertaining. Highly recommend

    Response from the operator: Thank you for supporting a women-led local company in New Orleans. We're so glad you enjoyed your time enough to write a review, they really help fuel a small business's online presence. Karen leads multiple experiences and is regularly featured on our published schedule as well as our private tours. We've developed our brand of walking tours through the Crescent City over 10+ years. It's our hope to add depth and a bit of sparkle to each of the activities we produce.

    Our guide Dannal was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. This is a must do! So interesting about the history of the city and how things became. The second bar stop was so nice.

    It's always best to get the inside scoop from a local.

    Karen is an amazing guide and storyteller. I was entertained the entire time while learning so much about the rich history of New Orleans. This was definitely a highlight of my trip. Looking forward to going back and booking another tour with them!

    Response from the operator: Karen is THE BEST on delivering the scoop. History can be so dramatic in the right person's hands. Born and raised in New Orleans, she definitely has the receipts on so many moments in history and the local characters involved. It's completely fascinating to be with her while she builds the narratives around a tour's theme. Thank you for leaving a review for Two Chicks Walking on one of our more off the beaten path experiences. Reviews are the lifeblood for a small business like ours

    Great experience!!

    This was a fantastic tour that focused much more on the history of the city itself than we expected. Our tour guide, Dannel, was so knowledgeable and really brought the people and places to life!

    New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 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 New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour 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 New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 108 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour?

    +

    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 New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour 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 New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour?

    +

    Around 38 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 New Orleans Brothels, Bordellos, and Ladies of the Night Tour 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 Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat 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.
