French Quarter Walking Tours and Pub Crawls
Learn About Our Pirates!
Many pirates have roamed the streets of the French Quarter, each leaving behind a legacy as wild and unpredictable as the seas they sailed. From daring privateers who fought in wars to ruthless marauders who plundered everything in sight, the stories are as rich as the rum they guzzled.
Warning! New Orleans pirates aren’t the polished heroes of fairy tales. They’re dirty (in more ways than one), crusty, salty, and savvy.
But rest assured our pirate guides are nothing like that (well, mostly). They’re master storytellers, armed with extensive, well-researched knowledge of the French Quarter and its swashbuckling pirate history. You’ll get the grit and the facts, all served with a hearty side of entertainment.
The Pirates of the Quarter tour set sail in 2017, launched by a couple of guys with a deep love for New Orleans history — especially its swashbuckling pirate past. What began as a passion project quickly grew into one of the city’s most talked-about walking tours.
Today, it’s a must-do activity in the French Quarter, consistently rated 5 stars by visitors who come for the history, stay for the stories, and leave feeling like part of the crew.
