“Great Movie Tour!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 13, 2013 NEW

On our first visit to New Orleans, we decided on the movie tour we saw advertised. Our guide and driver was Jonathan, who was very knowledgable and entertaining as we drove around previous and current movie sets. Not only was the two-hour trip highly enjoyable, but we also got to see much of New Orleans, too. Thoroughly recommended, and great... More

“Another Home Run of a Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 10, 2013

This was my second time on the Movie Tour and it was even better than the first. Jonathan even took requests and was so gracious with all of my questions. He loves movies and New Orleans, and combines those loves on this tour (which is one of the best in the city!). There's so many movies that have been filmed... More

Thank you for taking the time to write me such a positive review. It's fun people like you that make it all worth it for me. And don't forget to watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" so you are up to speed when part 2 comes out. Because that's what we saw filming! More

“OMG...So good!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2013 via mobile

This has got to be the best movie tour anywhere. Johnathan, the owner/guide is so knowledgeable about everything movies and not only shows you all the filming locations but plays the scenes from the movies showing New Orleans in the films. This is awesome!
