Free walking tours in New Orleans

This was such a great tour. Sandy was well organised (down to even texting me to let me know to dress for inclement weather), entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. This was one of those tours you know you walk away learning things you’d never find on the internet. She also recommended a place to get what turned out to be the best sandwich of my life. Highly recommend!

Daniel’s depth is what you want and his ability to relate to the group is a bonus. We enjoyed the experience!

We had a fantastic experience exploring the Garden District with Daniel as our guide. His deep knowledge of the area’s history and architecture made the tour truly special. As a member of the New Orleans Historical Society, Daniel brought a unique perspective, sharing not just facts, but stories about the residents and the rich legacy behind each home. His pride and passion for his neighborhood were infectious, and it was clear how much he genuinely cared about preserving its charm and history. Highly recommend this tour if you want more than just sightseeing. Daniel makes the past come alive!

Sandy was super enthusiastic about the NOLA history, she also was very funny, which was highly appreciated :)

Sandy was great! She knows what she’s talking about and has a great sense of humor.

Sandy is knowledgeable, funny and pleasant. She brought humor and depth of knowledge making the tour totally enjoyable. Thumbs up!!

Sandy was great. Answers all of our questions.

Very entertaining tour with Sandy. Super professional and funny, with that sarcastic humor I love. Lots of historical information, taking us back to the old New Orleans.

We have taken many GuruWalks (as well as paid Tours by Locals) all over the world and Sandy was BY FAR the BEST tour guide we have ever had! Sandy's breadth of knowledge was only exceeded by her versatility of expression. For anyone visiting New Orleans: book a tour, any tour, with Sandy. After completing this tour, we booked two more with Sandy - and loved every minute.

Sandy gave us a marvelous tour of the Marigny district - one of the absolute highlights of our time in New Orleans. She went above and beyond in every way: incredibly flexible, perfectly adapting to the needs and pace of our group, and always thoughtful - whether it was making sure we were in the shade on a hot day or tailoring her insights to our interests. Her depth of knowledge is truly remarkable. From local folklore and music to art, architecture, and history, Sandy brought every corner of the neighborhood to life with vivid detail and enthusiasm. She has a gift for storytelling and a passion for New Orleans that’s both engaging and inspiring. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

We had an amazing time exploring the French Quarter with our tour guide Sandy! She was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history and culture of New Orleans to life with fascinating stories and just the right touch of humor. Sandy’s energy and passion for the city were contagious, and she gave us fantastic local recommendations that helped us experience the real New Orleans beyond the usual tourist spots. Highly recommend her tour to anyone wanting an authentic and entertaining introduction to this vibrant city!

Great tour to understand the story of the city, would definitely recommend!

Sean was so informative and very likeable. Kept us in the shade as much as possible on a warm day and we learnt so much about the history and culture. Would recommend to anyone.

Entertaining, knowledgeable, fun tour.
