Please help me choose which tours to do in New Orleans?
I am going to New Orleans in April with my fiance. I have done some research and would like to do an air boat tour of the swamps, a Catrina tour, a City tour, and possibly a plantation tour. There are numerous tour operators on the internet and I cannot decide which tours or company to use. Which tours do you recommend in terms of being most enjoyable, informative and value for money. Please help.
Many Thanks,
Jon
Speak with Paula, the manager at Gray Line Tours/New Orleans.

And this no sales pitch - I visited New Orleans in 12/08, had some problems and couldn’t keep a tour I scheduled. Paula was great and after her making myriad phone calls, I got my money back… and also someone to have a drink with when I’m there… (but you didn’t this from me!)

I agree with the first answer that Grey Line has the best Katrina tour (personal experience). I would not be surprised if they also have the best other tours.

You can also try GotoBus.com. There have many New Orleans tours and I think you can earn free travel with their point system.

Haunted History Tours. Take the Cemetery Tour (not really a haunted tour but very interesting) and the Ghost Tour.
