Customer Reviews
Loved the historic interpretation guided tour. So much history tied to the current culture and people of New Orleans as well as the history of USA. Definitely recommend for people to see, explore, observe, and appreciate.
Its an experience I will forget hold in my heart. Its a MUST visit historical ancestry museum, I learnt so much that has never been taught to me. Staff was very nice and patient. Tour is very self explanatory and detailed. I loved the fact that you can listen to the recordings at your own pace and discuss with your companions instead of feeling rushed in a tour with people. If you book through Viator you will get pick up and drop off. If you dont book transportation, better get a car because its very far from the heart of New Orleans.
This was hands down one of the greatest experiences in my life, we did self guided tour and they equip you with sound to listen to each and every step in the 14 steps and added bonus commentary in between!!! Super educational, as i was very apprised of the entire scenario beforehand it was super easy to follow along and enjoy the experience, that's only a few photos from at least 100 I took that day, I would recommend this place 100 out of 100 times everytime!!!!!!
