Things to do on President's Day in New Orleans (Updated 2026)

We had such a great experience with Lisa! She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history in a way that felt genuine and interesting without ever being overwhelming or overly scripted. She had a great sense of the vibe we were looking for and made the experience feel relaxed, fun, and personal.Lisa was also so helpful and happy to answer all of our questions. She’s a wonderful storyteller and brought the places we visited to life with the right mix of history, spookiness, local insight, and personality. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does and the city she’s sharing with people.We really enjoyed our time with Lisa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, and personable guide!

Logan was THE BEST!!!! What an amazing story teller! We hit some of the most popular locations you’d expect to hit in NOLA, but it was refreshing to have new locations and unexpected anecdotes and stories. Truly the highlight of my trip!

J. The experience was a Joyride forssure. Great pacing, Stories, Facts, Mementos, and last but not least, Love! Thanks for the magical memories!

Kut Throat Kali is a phenomenal tour guide! Her story telling is out of this world. Take this tour. Ask for her. You won’t regret it!

The tour covered a lot of the historic as well as the fun parts of the city. Gary was knowledgeable, fun and extremely helpful. This is a perfect way to begin as his suggestions helped me plan the remainder of my stay.

Libby was an amazing tour guide and provided an incredible amount of information about the city and especially the French Quarter. She brought factual knowledge along with humor that provided a quick hour and a half tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour. Gary was excellent he was born and raised in New Orleans, has a history degree from UNO and was so knowledgeable. Also very personable. Highly recommend!

Really good fun - informative and theatrical- just what you need to set a scene - kutthroat kali was a great guide - a true pirate

It wasn't a very busy day, everything went smoothly, the weather was good, the narrator was fine and the live music was awesome, I cannot ask for more.

It was a great experience, the jazz band was great! Would definitely recommend.

Adam was our guide and he was caring, down to earth and FUNNY. He was also very knowledgeable and gave a great guided tour of the swamp and bayou.

This was a brilliant tour and a great way to see parts of New Orleans you might have missed due to time constraints, we were met at the meeting point by our guide Cynthia who was really friendly, our bus driver Carl was also friendly, Cynthia explained what and where we’d be going and stopping off some Beignets at Cafe du mond, the tour was so informative and the cemetery we stopped at was very interesting, we loved the tour and it’s a must to go on when you’re here.

This was a great time to find out about some local history, color and supernatural stories. The tour is within the French Quarter and frankly the buildings are worth the tour in themselves!! Our tour guide was kind, knowledgeable and very expressive,. She made the tour exciting and was open for questions and comments. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. I will caution tourists to dress light- the heat and humidity creeps up on you and it oppressive!! Bring water!!!!”lots of water!! Great experience for first time to New Orleans. Felt safe and enjoyed it completely 🙌❤️

We had the best time! Even though it was extremely hot, we hydrated and enjoyed our tour with Ricardo who made it super fun with his storytelling skills. We learned so much of the history of new Orleans, the Hollywood side of it and the notorious buildings made famous by so many people and characters. Thanks Ricardo for the best your and experience!

Riding for the ghost tour was so much nicer than walking in the heat. Our guide was very nice and answered all of our questions with a lot of knowledge.
