    Great tour

    Isabella was a terrific tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the city of New Orleans. Told us about the history of each area of the city. We learned so much more than if we just walked around on our own. She was very pleasant easy to understand and a good driver.

    Response from the operator: Oh my goodness, thank you so much Ms Jane! You guys were such a great audience! You made my day with this review! Take care, Cordially, Isabelle C.

    Small Group City Tour is the way to go when in New Orleans!!!

    We had an amazing afternoon outing with Rene (our guide for this tour) around all parts of New Orleans. I will start by saying there were torrential rains; thunder and lightening the afternoon we did our tour -- and the weather did NOT dampen our spirits even a tiny bit. Rene is born and raised in Louisiana and his family goes back multiple generations -- and he knew every little nook and cranny of town along with tons of fun facts. The history and his enthusiasm as we traveled along.....it is infectious. We exited the vehicle briefly only twice -- so the rain was almost irrelevant. We were provided with BIG golf umbrellas when we went to learn about the above ground cemetaries and when we did our stop for Cafe au Lait and Beignets. It was a perfect break in the middle of all the fun wandering via van. The small group can hold a few others but, ours happened to be just our own small group which made it that much more fun! We were all in town for Jazz Fest and we had planned in advance to tour on this particular day and not attend music at the Fest. With the rain, we really lucked out on our no music plans -- as the rain did not impact us at all. Rene picked us up on time at our hotel in downtown New Orleans in a van. Rene was FULL of so much information and answered our multitude of questions. Small Group Tour is the way to go!!! Rene is funny and informative. If you need recommendations of restaurants or want to know about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath of that, Rene has you covered. He covered it all. We learned so much in that one day (1:00-5:00)!!! Highly recommend Tours by Isabelle and Rene -- you cannot go wrong. And, Isabelle herself, VERY easy to connect with and work with as we had a couple minor changes (one friend wanted to join but, then was not able). DO THIS TOUR. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this thorough review! We love it! I am sharing it with Rene, of course. Please come back to NOLA soon! Isabelle C.

    Great Tour

    John our tour guide was extraordinary. He was friendly and oh so knowledgeable about every aspect of the city and history. We could not endorse him and tours by Isabel Avery higher-they were that Sensational

    Response from the operator: Oh my goodness thank you so much. What a wonderful review. I will share that with John and I know this will make him happy! So glad you enjoyed our New Orleans city tour! Isabelle C.

    Great tour!

    Really interesting tour around NOLA with Rene. Lots of information and some great banter. Particularly liked the Bestoff Sculpture Garden. Wish I had time to do more tours with them

    Response from the operator: Oh, we also wish you could come back soon and take more of our other tours, for sure! So glad you enjoyed your City Tour with Rene! I will share this happy review with him and we thank you for it! Cordially, Isabelle C.

    New Orleans Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does New Orleans Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $96 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 Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 132 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 New Orleans Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup?

    +

    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 Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New Orleans Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup?

    +

    Around 46 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New Orleans Small-Group City and Cemetery Tour with Hotel Pickup 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.
