Happiness Bayou Tours, LLC

Take a break from the City for a few hours to come relax on the bayou, hear about local life and take in the beautiful scenery. Our tours are authentic, intimate and fun, and take you through the beautiful waterways of St. Bernard Parish, where you will see various wildlife that inhabit the area, camps on the bayou, fishing boats, and more. Your Captain, a lifetime resident of The Parish, will tell personal stories about work and play while growing up on these waters.

Forget those crowded, overpriced, sanitized big company tours. Drive a little off the beaten path and take a Happiness Bayou Tour instead.  Captain George is the real deal, born and raised on the Bayou. This is a small family business run out of Eddie Pinto's...MoreWe cannot thank you enough for this detailed, spectacular review! It is very rewarding that the very thing we take pride in - being simple, small and authentic - is the thing you recognize and stress in this review.

The National WWII Museum

The National WWII Museum is the top-rated tourist destination in New Orleans, TripAdvisor's #2 museum in the world and #2 in the U.S., and an unforgettable way to experience World War II—from industrial efforts on the home front to the combat experience of the American servicemember abroad. Offering a compelling blend of sweeping narrative and poignant personal detail, the Museum features immersive exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an expansive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories to take visitors inside the story of the war: why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today. Beyond the galleries, the Museum offers unique access to experiential history, including an opportunity to tour and even ride on an authentically restored PT-boat, tours behind the scenes to handle artifacts alongside Museum curators, and an impressive collection of restored and working macro-artifacts to discover. The Museum is open daily, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. nationalww2museum.org

We spent a little over a half day at the museum and left more to see for a future visit. As suggested in Trip Advisor reviews we first bought tickets and experienced "Beyond All Boundaries", narrated by Tom Hanks. It was awesome and was a great way to kick-off a visit to the museum.

Southern Seaplane Day Tours

What better way to view the unspoiled swamplands of Louisiana then by air. Take a thrilling flight over the city, view the winding Mississippi and land on the beautiful bayous for a closer look at the abundant wildlife. At Southern Seaplane our custom designed air tours can fit every interest and budget.

Being a solo traveller I really struggled to get this trip off the ground. The office was very laid back and didn't really appear to want business despite offering to pay for 2 people. Eventually got an email to say it was all on. Did the Cajun tour with amazing views of the Mississippi and New Orleans. We flew very low and did a touch and go I the swamp and landed in the river and went along the river like a boat. I then had a private tour with Zam's swamp safari and what a character the guide was. The pilot and I spent avery amusing hour with Anes dotes about their Cajun community and how they has appeared on exchanging spouses.
Back to land on the canal at their base it was a truly remarkable trip .

We took the small airboat with Captain Chip and had a wonderful time. He is knowledgeable and passionate about the condition of the ecosystem and was able to explain what has happened over time (naturally and human-caused) and what is being done currently that will affect the waterways. Captain Chip was funny and quite skilled as a captain (THAT GATE!!! I'm still in disbelief!!). We got up close and personal with a gator and that was quite amazing. Well worth the trip.

You see the yellow door in the photo? Well every night we were in New Orleans there was a band playing right in front of it. The whole atmosphere is electric, and so much fun. Don’t just go once- go again and again! Grab a drink and hang out- even dance if you feel inclined!

Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours

Reviewed By Jenna369

My family and I booked the Jean Lefitte Swamp Tour over the phone last week. We provided them with all of our information and I received a conformation email. They told us to be ready outside our hotel. Our group of 4 was ready for a fun swamp adventure and stood outside our hotel starting at 8:30. At 9:05 we still had not seen the bus, I called the company and they said that the bus driver was running late and was on their way to pick us up. At 9:30 I called the company again and they said that the tour bus came to the hotel, LEFT WITHOUT US, and was NOT COMING TO PICK US UP. We were waiting outside for an hour to be told that they came to our hotel and picked up a group of people (at some other entrance that we were told not to be at) and left without making sure they had all of the people scheduled on the tour. Such a terrible experience. Heed my warning, DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY. Such a waste of time and completely unprofessional.

Pretty to look at. Lots of street artists and performers, but also lots of homeless people trying to engage you with their performances which isn't performance as much as crazy bull. Lots of smells of pee. You can experience this in 10 minutes.

RTA - Streetcars

Get wherever you want to go in New Orleans with the Regional Transit Authority (RTA). Our extensive network of buses and streetcars winds throughout every neighborhood of the Crescent City. From Uptown to Downtown, from Lakeview to the Lower Nine, from Mid-City across the Mississippi River and to the parish lines, the RTA goes there.As streetcars glide underneath grand live oaks and past stately mansions, they offer up relaxing views of the beauty, charm and history of New Orleans for little cost. When riders board these historic vehicles they are boarding a piece of movable New Orleans history. The RTA operates three streetcar lines: the famous, historic St. Charles line, the Canal Street line, and the Riverfront line. All lines either run along or intersect with Canal Street in the area between the French Quarter and the Central Business District (CBD) connecting Uptown/Garden District, Carrollton, Mid-City, City Park and the Marigny. The RTA is currently adding more Streetcar lines.

We took the 47 from Canal Street to City Park, took a long wait for it to appear. On our return it took a longer wait (about 20 mins) for it to come but being tourists, we have time on our hands. And it cost only $1.25, but have the exact change!
