Testimonials & Reviews

A super fun and educational walking tour.
This was like no other walking tour I have ever done. It was super fun as well as educational. We learnt a whole bunch of stuff about New Orleans and the French Quarter. The Captain and the Quartermaster were able to confirm or bust many myths and stories about the Quarter. We were able to smile quietly to ourselves on later tours. The Captain and the Quartermaster were really entertaining and informative and we had a really great time on our tour. It was my favourite thing I did in the French Quarter and I highly recommend the walking tour!

I learned a lot of great information and history. I was not ready for the tour to end! Recomand anyone that is New Orleans to take this tour!!!

sinteriano87 – Atlanta, Georgia

The BEST tour in NOLA! The Pirate Captain was super knowledgeable, fun and funny. We know a lot about pirates and we still learned things that we didn’t know. We took the 18+ tour and we got to hear all the dirty deeds that went on in New Orleans in its early days. Definitely a must do!

Pam M. – Santa Monica, California

A great tour! Lots of interesting history of the quarter. The Captain looks and acts every bit of the part. He was entertaining and you could tell he did real research to make it authentic. It was a unique perspective of the lore and tales of the quarter. The walk was easy, just under a mile and we were glued to every word. A must do for something different than the usual tours.

Kella C. – Union Square, San Francisco, CA

This is the best tour in New Orleans and well worth the time and money! There’s no better way to see the French Quarter and learn about the real history of pirates and other colorful historical figures and events! It’s an easy walk and suitable for all ability levels and ages. There’s even a few stops at the local watering holes if you get thirsty! I highly recommend you take this tour whether or not you’re a seasoned New Orleans veteran or a first-timer! The Captain knows the real history of pirates in New Orleans!

Steve C. – Merced, CA

This tour was lots of fun and factually accurate. I’ve been on several French Quarter tours but learned a lot on this one. And how can you not have fun with a pirate! The price was low and the walk was easy with at least one bar along the way. Absolutely enjoyed it!

I’m now back at work and the boss is wondering why I’m wearing an eye patch and have a parrot on my shoulder. It’s because…I WANT TO BE A PIRATE! Thanks Captain for giving me back my sea legs with an awesome tour. When in New Orleans…share some rum with The Captain and learn why pirate history is so important to New Orleans and perhaps the country as we know it.
