Things to do over Hanukkah in New Orleans (Updated 2026)

Beyond nice and informative, history is amazing, especially about the voodoo history. Definitely would recommend this to everyone.

Lisa was a well informed and wonderful storyteller. She knew all of the details and stopped at all of the best places.

Excellent! Experienced & knowledgeable guided tour with Daryl exploring the stunning Bayous , discovering fauna, birds, mammals & of course Gaters ! We chose to take the premium tour for six which we highly recommend as opened up the smaller waterways & greater area.

This was a fantastic experience. Loved the leisurely pace, the information and the local history as well as seeing places outside the Quarter. Well worth the time.

It was fun! Our tour guide was hilarious and informative. I would recommend. Be sure to wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty.

Extremely knowledgeable and experienced native tour guide. This was my fourth to New Orleans and I learned many new things. He also experienced Katrina and provided us with addresses of many local restaurants and city sites where movies were filmed. Gary K was an exceptional tour guide. We were well informed of pick up and drop off times and the tour included a rest stop. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. This tour is an absolute must if this is your first trip to the city.

Zelda was amazing. So extremely knowledgeable, funny and engaging. She was fabulous. We learned so much from her.

A really great experience! As with most tours, the quality depends on the guide and ours was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and comfortable about the wildlife, fauna, flora of the area and I learned a lot. He was also very familiar with interacting with gators and he gave us a really awesome experience. Highly recommend!

The aquarium and insectarium are small, but their exhibits are some of the best I’ve ever seen. The butterflies are breathtaking—there are so many of them flying freely around you. You can explore and see so much there. I would allow about 3–4 hours for a visit.

It was a very good informative tour - we done the smaller boat Our guide was very good Definitely recommend a must do if in New Orleans

Great experience must do if you're in New Orleans. Adult only experience is the way to go. Elaine was a great!

Everyone should take this tour, Gary K is very knowledgeable and a great guide The garden district is beautiful and absolutely loved visiting the cemetery. Getting to hear what the city went through during Katrina was heartbreaking

THIS IS A MUST DO TOUR! Kutthout Kasi is the BEST tour guide. Knowledgeable and fun !!

Highly recommend! So well presented!!!

Awesome experience learning about New Orleans. Starts with culture and general history to set the stage for the ghost and vampire stories.

The evening option is great for that late-night Mississippi breeze. The dinner option was surprisingly good as well. Great for everyone: singles, couples, and families!
