Hey Andrew! Long time since the Saint Francisville Transitory Theatre! I would like to be able to take my family back to New Orleans. Unfortunately, the air quality is such that my wife and daughter were coughing for three days after leaving the last time we were there and it’s not getting better apparently. You gave awesome tours at the Myrtles, and I’d love to see one of the tours you give of the Big Easy.

My best advice to folks visiting New Orleans is to look like you go here. If you're walkin around in an 'I heart NOLA' t-shirt wearing a giant camera, sunvisor, and fanny pack while carrying a French Quarter map and looking confused, every conman from here to Baton Rouge is gonna light on you like flies on a hog.

It took me a while after my last visit to figure out why I wasn't being harassed on my last day in the city like the days before. It was probably because I was wearing some old raggedy shorts and a forgettable shirt on that day instead of my best clothes like on the days prior. Not even the scammers outside the train station gave me a second look.

Dude!! Just got back from NOLA and that shoe guy went up to my husband and tried saying he could guess where he got his shoes and that he got them in NOLA. My husband was like nope I didn't buy them here. And dude said nah man I didnt say buy I said where you got them and you got them right here on your feet in NOLA. He wanted to be paid for this stupid ass joke and he very aggressively tried to polish my husbands shoes as well. Really fucking annoying. Were not even tourists, really. We live a few hours away and my brother lives in NOLA and we stay w him and enjoy the popular local spots instead of tourist spots. But we happened to be near the French Market and that's where he was. He was so aggressive and pushy and was right in my husband's face and personal space. It was awkward and felt like he was going to fight at any second.

My sister went to New Orleans with my brother in law a few years back , she apparently booked accommodation in a shady area and her taxi driver was like “ are you sure , you wanna stay here ? , let me see if I can get you better service “ then proceeded to fix them up witha better city experience , she had a blast after that ,

What was the tour so other visitors can know to avoid?

My fiancée and I just took the Bayou St. John walking tour and it was the best excursion we’ve had in the city! Andrew was nice, knowledgeable, and a real native of the neighborhood, getting approached by a number of people who seemed to know him from around town. When we asked for tips and recommendations, he was genuine, honest, and definitely trying only to offer the best that New Orleans has to offer. Even in the blazing heat, he was mindful of the group’s comfort level and would find shady spots to stop and talk. I would definitely urge anyone looking for a trip off the beaten path in New Orleans to make this a priority.

Talk to strangers, for sure, especially musicians. They love talking about their craft and will hip you to jam sessions off the beaten path if you truly love music. World-class musicians take to Royal Street on Friday afternoons to hype their weekend shows.

Andrew, you’re the best! I would like to add to the scams and cons - BEADS! If you are approached on the street by anyone wanting to put beads around your neck, you should know that those beads are literally picked up off the dirty streets and from the wet gutters when the Bourbon Street crowds finally disperse in the early morning hours. I cringe so much when I see unsuspecting tourists in this situation. Ick!

@Pawpaws Homestead So it seems some HISTORICAL facts are in order here, despite a famous phrase of many of New Orleans’ “guides” being, “never let facts get in the way of a good story.” 1. Marie Antoinette (the last queen of France) sadly never travelled outside of Europe and thus had never even visited the Americas, right along lived here. Her life, as lavish as it was, was basically spent entirely in Austria and France. So no, she never lived in New Orleans. 2. Marie Antoinette had 4 biological children, only one of whom, Marie Thérèse Charlotte, lived into adulthood. None of them ever made it to New Orleans either. Yes, it’s possible two of them were “illegitimate” as they may have been fathered by her Swedish lover. 3. Marie Antoinette had 4 adopted children, but there is no record if any of them having traveled to the new world either as they all lost their funding when the royals were executed and had no titles of their own. In fact, one of her foster sons ended up dying of hunger on the streets.

Being from the greater Baton Rouge area, I got to grow up with the advantage of a day trip to New Orleans being something fun and different, but also the knowledge to not fall for any of these. "Where you got those shoes? I bet I can tell you where you got them?". "Bruh...I may look like a tourist, but I know how to pronounce Tchoupitoulas Street, I'm not the mark you're looking for", lol!

My wife and I have been visiting New Orleans on a regular basis since 2009. We did the French Quarter thing for the first couple of years, but soon learned that there is much more to the city than the French Quarter. We stay at a timeshare on St. Charles Avenue and we purchased our own bicycles to tour the city. There is so much to see! We also discovered that the better restaurants are outside the French Quarter (with the exception of the high-end restaurants such as Muriel's, Brennan's, etc.).

1st time visiting there. Thanks for the tip.

We just got back from NOLA (05/10/2022-05/14/2022)....and it is not the same anymore. most of the art shops were gone.....and shops had graffiti all over the doors that were out of business. There were resterants that were closed during normal hours 11-12.....lunch anyone? The Market had 5 stands everyone else was just gone........Also we found that no one really cared about any kind of service....people always looked pissed that you walked in to get food......then they were super nice when it was time for a tip. Oceana’s all of us got food poisoning....manager said " Well I didn’t see you get sick so it didn’t happened" Pier 424 one night was great...the other was a hot mess. I know that people say let the good times roll…..But dam....

Solid advice. A couple of low cost outings I would include are Preservation Hall where they still play unadulterated New Orleans jazz (our walking tour guide told us about it....) and the WWII museum, (world class)

The walking tour is nice, just be aware of the heat and humidity. We found a NOLA tour walking to an old cemetery through the French quarter. It was very hot that day and our group dwindled down for 25 to 5 at the end. Our guide was a trouper and did not miss a beat. We asked questions and he was happy to chat and point out things. At the end I was sad to see the last few people wander off leaving only me and another person (both our spouses had taken to AC to cool off half way through. I was disappointed my wife had most of my cash and was no longer with US, so I gave up my lunch money. The tour we took was over an hour and the poor guy only made $25. So i did the best thing i could giving him reviews. I commend you doing a pay what you can tour. I wish you all the best. These walking tours are the best.

Great job! I got the old shoe shine con attempted on me numerous times but luckily my friends warned me about that one beforehand....

Great video with valuable truths about visiting New Orleans. Chalk up another WIN for you! Kudos!

absolutely loooooove the intro 💛

I bought a nice piece of art from a local artist by St Louis Cathedral, still have it hanging on my wall.

I love walking tours. I remember every single one of them I took, and the history told 😊 I believe we took our tours with your company-- great experience!

Very assuring and helpful.

Great video. Thanks!

Good tips. We came down for the French Quarter Festival several years ago. Lots of great free music. We did a walking tour that I thought was great. It ended up being a personal tour because the other people didn't show up but the guide still took us around. We did all public transit. We took a swamp tour. My wife does a really good job of planning things out for our vacations before we leave home. She found some really great food by sifting through reviews for hours. She also happened to be in New Orleans on business just after 9/11. That was a weird time.

Thanks for commenting, Bob. The French Quarter Fest is really something to experience. We are glad that you were able to.

Before Google, before KZread, before smart phones and GPS; I landed at the Moonwalk with a printout of a walking tour guide in my hands when a guided tour was just starting up right there, I tagged along and had an excellent adventure. I left a good tip.

Great advice. I have been there many times. People should check on line for information and schedules.

This company's foot tours are the best. I did the Garden District walking tour, and our guide was so energetic and full of great stories and knowledge. I'm not big on tours, but I would do another Free Tours By Foot tour in New Orleans any time I am in town.

I think you hit the appeal of Bourbon St on the head! When I visited- it was (like you said) where the rules seem very lax. It turned from very fun to incredibly overwhelming within a couple hours of being there.

It's best to go when it's not overcrowded. My husband and I went to Mardi gras and some guy patted me down from my waist to my calf's trying to pick my pockets. He disappeared in the crowd before I knew what was happening and before I could tell my husband. He didn't get anything because my husband was holding the money.....lol

I’m going to be there next week. Can’t wait!

Just found your channel. What a great job! I sub'd. I moved there in 1981 and lived there and on the West Bank for many many years. When I got there, I had never even heard of Mardi Gras!! (or the French Quarter!) What a shock! Keep up the great work.

A fun thing about the souvenir shops is that you really can (and I did) buy a feather boa. My daughter was in an amateur production of the musical "Lorelei" and a feather boa really added tp the role.

I have a special connection to New Orleans because my grandfather is from there. Although I never met him I always heard the stories of how good he could cook. He moved to Chicago and met my grandmother and I enjoyed the story she will tell me about my grandfather. My first visit to New Orleans was in 2013. I feel like I was channeling my grandfather and I instantly fell in love with the city. A lot of the locals would tell me stories of Katrina, like it was yesterday. I fell in love with the diversity and architecture of the city. The trees the Southern Accents New Orleans is a very special place you can feel the Soul and Spirit of the city in your heart. I will be booking my hotel room tomorrow to return in September. Thank you for your video I am so excited to return.

We stayed at an upscale hotel in the Quarter and the consierge was useless. he said that reservations etc were all on line now. and was no real assistance. We relied on the maids and the bellmen and did quite well. We took the ferry ride to Algiers. Slow and different. Nothing spectacular but the single owner houses, neighboorhoods, ancient trees and flower gardens they tended with love were fun to walk down.

A good tourist trap is a work of art. I love them. I love going in, partaking of the fantasy, absorbing the cheese. It's so cool, so Amerikana.

We ubered from the airport to Canal St and it was as cheap as the taxi option. However, our uber had to drop us off around the block because there was a weekend parade going through right in front of our hotel. It was awesome, but keep it in mind if you plan any weekend travel days.
