Skip Bourbon Street.Handpicked tours. Family-owned in the French Quarter.

The short of it: Exceptional tour. Wonderful guide. Highly recommend. Yah Yah Universe was 10/10, the best tour guide I've ever had. The long version: When I think of a tour in New Orleans, I think of magic and ghosts and vampires. I think of the long history of the city and of the pirates and the conflict and the crime. This tour had it all, through the irreverent yet respectful lens of a true NOLA native. It was a fascinating walk, with a perfectly comfortable distance between each location and an interesting story too. From witch covens and vampires to voodoo and ghosts, we really did touch on everything supernatural about the city while also hitting on the real history behind the legends. Yah Yah was exceptional for a lot of reasons. The biggest being that she treated our tour like adults who - despite inebriation - were able to follow the rules. It started the tour off on the right foot: we're here to have fun but we can still respect others in the French Quarter. She was very serious about keeping a walking lane behind us so people could move safely along the side walk. I appreciated that. Then we got to the tour and our wonderful host was full of energy and loud enough to be heard over the music and the sounds of the city. She didn't just tell us what we wanted to hear, she turned it into a conversation. Questions asked of us were then turned around to let us ask questions as well. I felt like I learned a lot about everything, even the things I'd heard before. Most of all, she made it fun. The bar-break half way through the tour certainly helped keep things from feeling too long and got us off our feet for a moment. Yah Yah Universe could teach a masterclass in entertainment tour guiding. All in all, I can't just recommend the No Karens tour for those who want an adults only small group experience, without also recommending that if you have the opportunity or the choice, book with Yah Yah. If the the guides are half as good as her, you're still in great hands.

The Uncensored, No Karens tour with Yah Yah was awesome! She was incredibly knowledgeable, hilarious, and gave us the real, no-BS version of the city’s stories and history. The entire tour was so much fun, and Yah Yah really made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

We had the best time it was so interesting and Yaya was an amazing guide, She was full of information and very funny if you get a chance to go on one of these Ghost tours, make sure you request her she’s amazing!!

My wife and I did the No Karens or Kids 5 in 1 Tour. Michael Bill was our guide. He was very informative and honestly, pretty damn funny. He gave us some great ghost stories and a few about prostitution. And if there're three things I love, it's Ghost, Prostitutes, and guys with two first names. I highly recommend this tour. 5/5 Stars

Yah Yah Universe was amazing, she was so good, she made our educational tour fun!!! She's charismatic and full of uncensored history!!!

Kut Throat Kali was the most amazing guide I have ever had in any city. We were so fortunate to have spent two hours strolling the French Quarter with her learning so much history and hearing so many stories.

So much fun!

Christian was great and knowledgeable but also funny! He is a wonderful story teller and conversational- we would definitely do another tour with him!!

Our guides were both very knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience! We will definitely use them again!

Loved Yahyah. She was ausome.

Evette was our guide. She was energetic, vibrant & entertaining. We learnt a lot with the tour not only the history of the buildings and old town New Orleans but lots of eerie and ghastly stories within. Tour was certainly worth it. If you ever come to New Orleans PLEASE take the tour

Captain Clifford was Awesome. Really enjoyed his knowledge of wildlife and vegitation of the swamp environment.

The Adults Only ghost tour was such a great experience. Our guide, Jimmy, did a fantastic job of mixing history, lore, and humor and even went out of his way to give in-depth answers to questions that may not normally be asked on this tour. While I definitely left feeling spooked, that's the point, isn't it?!

Cut throat Cali is the bessssssst! My family and I were captivated by her knowledge, passion and personality. I would do this tour over and over! Highly recommend!! Especially if you aren’t a prude and prefer a bad ass experience. You won’t regret!

Yah Yah was a great guide, very funny and knowledgeable! We had a great time on the tour

Fascinating tour 🐊

YahYah was a great tour guide. She knew how to tell a story and how to keep you engaged. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Gators and Ghost.

The drivers that took us were awesome. And the captain mike was so much fun!! This was our 1st timw and it was AWESOME!!! For sure want to do it again and again!!!!!

I did both the swamp boat tour (we took a 10 man boat) with Garrett and the vampire walking tour with Gwydion and had an absolute blast both times! Definite highlights of my visit. If you're interested in the bayou at all the gator tour is absolutely worth your time, and if you love some good folklore history right in the French Quarter definitely check out the selection!

We loved our tour and our tour guide, he was so informative and we never knew alligators love marshmallows 😁

My wife and I loved this gator tour..we got to go on a small 6 seater with guide...the guide was entertaining and knowledgable...Ray and Chelsea were awesome.

We had an absolutely amazing time and would definitely do it again. It was well worth it. Very nice people and fun. Thank you all for everything.

My son and I overly enjoyed our guide, Josh. His hospitality, expertise, and moments he took to educate and scare the ish out of us was worth every second! I highly recommend this tour but more importantly, the guide! ❤️

Ms Universe was our tour guide, she is so amazing, it was such a cool tour in such a cool city! If you have time you 100% need to do this tour!
