Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Private Cultural Tour with the Krewe of Red Beans?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, so it’s suitable for all ages! Families often bring their kids, and the vibe is pretty laid-back. Just keep in mind that some parts of the tour can get busy during Mardi Gras season, so keep an eye on your little ones.

Q: What should I wear for the Krewe of Red Beans tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: Casual is totally the way to go! You’ll be walking around and checking out costumes, so comfy shoes are a must. Also, consider wearing layers—New Orleans can be warm, but it can cool off in the evenings. And if you’ve got something colorful to wear, that fits the vibe perfectly!

Q: What’s the best time of year to experience the Krewe of Red Beans tour?

A: Honestly, the best time to go is during Mardi Gras season for the full experience! You'll get to see all the costumes and the festive atmosphere. But if you prefer a less crowded time, late February or early March can be nice too. Just check the schedule since events can vary.
