Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? I'm thinking of gifting it to my kids.

A: There's no strict age limit for the Eras of New Orleans tour! However, it may be more suitable for older kids and teens who can appreciate the historical context. Just keep in mind that some topics, like the history of Yellow Fever and the red light district, might not be for younger ones. That said, my 12-year-old loved it!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? I don't want to be uncomfortable.

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking quite a bit through the French Quarter! Lightweight clothing is also recommended, especially if you're going in the summer when it can get pretty hot. Don't forget a hat or sunglasses for sun protection and maybe a light jacket if you’re going early in the morning or later in the evening.

Q: If we need to reschedule, how does that work? Are they flexible?

A: The tour provider, Witches Brew Tours, is generally pretty flexible with rescheduling. Just reach out to them at least 24 hours in advance, and they’ll do their best to accommodate you. I had to change my date last minute, and they were super understanding. Just make sure to keep an eye on their cancellation policy!

Thinking of gifting the Eras of New Orleans tour!

I’m planning to surprise my dad with the Eras of New Orleans tour for his birthday. He’s a huge history buff and loves exploring new places. I’m a little worried about how long the tour lasts, though. Can anyone share their experience with the duration and guide? Any tips would be appreciated!
