My only regret is not booking multiple tours with Jill and team! We were in New Orleans for a couple of days and because of the age range of my kids, I was having a hard time picking one option. Jill was communicative and helpful. So glad we booked with her. I ended up booking a private tour option (no pressure on us to do so, it was our call) because of some specific timing circumstances in our group. Jill is clearly a gifted teacher, she was able to immediately connect with our kids - ages 12, 10, 6. They were all engaged, asking questions, and listening to the stories. I appreciated the way she spoke to them, encouraging questions and fostering inquisitiveness. Our time together flew by. We enjoyed it so much that I looked to see if we could squeeze in a group tour but we weren't able to get another one in before our flight home. A reason to go back :)

I will recommend French QuarTour Kids to anyone I know headed to New Orleans! Would love to see similar teacher lead tours in other cities. Let us know if you're ever in DC, Jill!

I want to start off by stating that I live just 74 miles away in the Baton Rouge metro area, but we were headed to New Orleans for a dance competition for my 8 year old, and we decided to make a weekend out of it. I wanted to do stuff that would keep the interest of my 8 year old and my 2 year old who I would be strolling - as just walking and shopping in the Quarter would not. The Zoo and Aquarium can get expensive when you have a few people in your group, so I came across the French QuarTour Kids on a blog post I was reading about the French Quarter with kids. I immediately booked, because my daughter loves stuff like that.

I am so glad I did because Jill was AMAZING. We all (my daughter, myself and my sister who was with me to assist with the kids) learned so much, even being Louisiana residents. Not only was Jill informative, she also made a point to interact with the kids - not just talk at them - with each thing she was teaching. Definitely recommend for anyone coming in from out of the state with children, but also to our Louisiana families!! You don't want to miss!

Top notch tour! I arranged this tour for a family visiting New Orleans with young kids and French Quartour Kids tour was a phenomenal experience. The presentation was 100% geared to the interests and spoke to the young people. The kids really learned and they were 100% engaged. Clearly the tour was created by an educator, and it was fun too! Kiddos to French Quartour Kids, the world needs more tour operators with this much passion.

My experience with this company was superb from start to finish. I first enquired about the tour via email, and the response I got from Tammy was very warm and friendly. She replied in a very timely manner and was very helpful. I was concerned that since I have a 9 year old girl and 2 teen boys the tour might not be appropriate for her. She assured me that it would be fine and Richard was very passionate and would make sure everyone felt included. She was right. This tour was fantastic! It was just my family. Richard was so friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job getting my kiddos involved - asking them questions and answering ours. We learned so much, not only about the history of jazz but about the history of the city. We had a great time! Richard gave us great recommendations on places to eat and visit. Unfortunately our visit was a quick one so we didn't have time for them all. He checked in with me afterwards to see if I had questions or got a chance to enjoy his recommendations. I highly recommend this company, and especially this tour! You won't regret it!

I have a 6 y/o and a 10 y/o and I called the office to ask whether we should aim for the kids ghost hunt or the twilight tour. Jill texted me back promptly with detailed advice and we made a reservation for the twilight tour for our last day in town. When the guide had an emergency to deal with, Jill offered to reschedule us for that evening, so we ended up with a personalized tour. With the lanterns lit, it was a great setting for a ghost tour. Stories were spooky but not scary for the little one and had plenty of back and forth for our older kid. The kids loved the ghost hunting parts of the tour! Grateful to French QuarTour Kids and our guide for their flexibility and a fun experience!

We did the twilight tour with Mary Carol. 3 kids aged 10, 8 & 6. She was so great with the kids and told great history that even captivated us adults. The kids absolutely loved the real ghost hunting equipment like electromagnetic meters. It helped make the experience so hands on and Perfect for the kids. Highly recommend!

Richard, our tour guide and a retired teacher, made the Sounds of New Orleans tour fun for both the teens and the adults In the group. We covered a lot of ground throughout the city and even went a little long, but Richard never made us feel rushed. Thanks for a memorable and fun tour!

Such a great tour experience. My kids (5 and 8) were completely captivated the entire time and have still been talking about it ever since. We did the spooky tour and it was perfect. My 5 year old can be of a worrier and it very scared of ghost but our guide was wonderful with him and helped him feel comfortable and safe. He has not been scared or worried since the tour either (I was at first worried about him maybe getting too scare. But it was def not an issue at all.). Our host experience with children was apparent from the moment she arrived. All the kids in our tour followed and looked to her for guidance and information just the way they would on a school field trip. The host masterfully and safely guided the kids around and kept everyone engaged and participating. I highly recommend this tour!

Our family had a wonderful time on the spooky kids tour. Our guide was absolutely wonderful. All of the kids were really engaged in looking for ghosts and had an absolute blast. My daughter (7) literally talked about how she found clues and the ghost for the rest of our trip. We will absolutely be doing another tour with French QuarTour Kids.

My two children loved this tour, they learned a lot (as did their parents), and were engaged the whole time. It was obvious that the tour guide was an experienced teacher because she was able to keep the attention of my youngest daughter (a nearly impossible feat for anyone). I highly recommend this to anyone who has elementary aged children!
