Believe it or not, this is the only tour in New Orleans designed specifically for kids. And it’s super. The company’s founder and regular guide is a former schoolteacher and an excellent kid-wrangler. She conducts the tour in costume and manages to maintain the enthusiasm level going for the full 2 hours. The spiels (there’s one tour for ages 4–7; another for 7–13) keeps it relatable, with attention to what life was like for kids in the olden days. History is definitely being conveyed as sites are explored, but the lessons use props (which she totes around in a colorful wheeled cart), storytelling, play-acting, and enough gory details to hold most kids’ focus. Emphasis on “most.” Ask about seasonally themed tours.
