Pirates of the Quarter Tours

fun tour, walking all confined to an area around Lafayette Square. Lots of history and stories. Highly recommend.

We visit New Orleans often to immerse in the history and culture (while enjoying the food and drink) and this tour was so fun and interesting. The guide was super charismatic and told the stories in such an engaging way that brings everything together and connects it to where you are. Granted, the tour is a fairly short walk and the pirates couldn't be managing all their affairs right in the center of the quarter so it was a good mix of "this would happen here where you're standing" and "stand here while I tell you what happened elsewhere" which then makes you want to visit those other places. I love history when it's told like this and not all sanitized into dry facts and events. We had no small kids on our tour so we may have gotten a version with more history and gory details, but that pirate dude is ready for literally any question and I can tell he knows how to work an audience with kids.

What stood out most on this French Quarter Historical Tour was the engaging storytelling. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about New Orleans. They shared fascinating stories about the city’s history, architecture, and culture while pointing out details I would have completely missed on my own. The small group size was also a big plus. As we walked through the Quarter, we passed several tours with enormous groups, and it really reinforced that we had made the right choice. Our smaller group made it much easier to hear our guide, ask questions, and enjoy a more relaxed, personal experience without feeling rushed or crowded. The tour gave me a much deeper appreciation for the French Quarter and made the rest of my visit even more meaningful. If you’re looking for a historical tour that feels personal rather than impersonal, I highly recommend this one.

Extremely factual and educational experience hosted by a knowledgeable, entertaining guide. Strolled all through the French Quarter and learned things about Pirates and New Orleans I never knew! Well worth the time and very glad we took the tour. Captain knows what he’s talking about and communicates his knowledge with enthusiasm and humor. Great guide!

The Pirates of the Quarter tour was a super fun way to help understand more of what makes New Orleans so special! The guide is a small business with an extreme passion for the topic. The atmosphere was absolutely infectious! He was super knowledgeable on their history and impact, and his unapologetic love for pirates made all of the information super easy to understand and fun! The tour group size was very intimate, and the length of the visit was perfect for fitting in so many fun facts. Definitely came out with more than enough for what I paid. I would definitely recommend him for people looking to debunk some myths about pirates. I learned so many new and exciting things that I couldn't stop seeing everywhere throughout the rest of my trip!

This experience was even better than we expected! We learned all about the history of New Orleans, as well as pirate related information, all in a way that was fun, entertaining, and educational! The tour guide really knew how to make history come alive, and you could tell he had a real passion for his job.

Was a wonderful and informative story including of our US history. Our guidance was passionate and well knowledgeable.

We did the 430 tour and after watching countless Reels imagine my delight when the guy who does them was our tour guide. Now for whatever reason we were the only two people booked. I thought, well, we're getting a condensed quicky tour. Nope!! He gave his all. Stories I didn't know and some new perspective on ones I did. My only regrets, it was over too fast and I didn't snag a pic. His humour, his knowledge, and his heart are what made the tour extra special. We felt appreciated. Check out the reels, go on the tour!! You won't be disappointed

The pirate tour was a highlight for us in New Orleans. Our tour guide was informative and entertaining. It was a funny tour where we all learned a lot.

Captain gave us a great tour last week. We were incredibly lucky to be the only two that booked the tour that evening. We had a great time, we learned a lot, and we had the added benefit of walking the historic quarter with a pirate. Everyone should do this tour!!! You won’t see a ghost on a ghost tour, BUT YOU WILL SEE A PIRATE ON A PIRATE TOUR!!!!
