Insightful fun tour of Treme, Storyville.
It was a very insightful, fun tour of these neighborhoods, more about how these neighborhoods evolved to create not only the history of New Orleans but the sense and persona of New Orleans.

Thorough and thoughtful history walking tour.
I was in town on business and went on the walking tour of Storyvile/Treme with Historic New Orleans Tours on my afternoon off. It was a small group, with just 3 of us and our guide David, who grew up in NOLA. (David has an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge about the city's architecture, history, and social dynamics. This company has brief professional bios of the tour guides on staff and it's clear they put thought into the folks they hire for this job!) He talked not only about stories of the past, but also how history has shaped these neighborhoods in the present. This tour was also careful not to sensationalize elements of history, because the stories are interesting enough on their own right! The most compelling stop on the tour was the tomb of the unknown slave, at St. Augustine Churchyard, but other highlights included Congo Square and the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, as well as a peek at the St. Louis No. 1 cemetery, which requires a different tour to enter. Having a small group enhanced the experience, because we were able to ask a bunch of questions and also get recommendations about places we could return to after the tour. David also stayed for a couple of minutes after the tour ended to answer our questions and give recommendations for other places we can visit. Thanks for a fascinating and informative two hours! I will definitely book tours with this company on future vists to New Orleans and would recommend it to friends too.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Orleans Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does New Orleans Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 63 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 Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking 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 Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New Orleans Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking Tour?
+
Around 22 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New Orleans Voodoo, Storyville, Treme, Walking 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.
