French QuarTour Kids, New Orleans

So good! We did this tour 2 years ago when my kids were 6 & 8 and they have been asking to go back ever since! The guides have been fantastic with the kids. The info is presented so kids understand and are entertained, but it is great for the parents as well! The tour doesn’t actually cover much ground and she stopped at places they could sit down while she talked so they don’t get tired of walking.

Tour guide really was a teacher and she kept the kids engaged and entertained for the solid 90 minutes without batting en eye. My (very active, very enthusiastic, very talkative) 8-year-old had a blast on the French Quarter history tour. Walking very short distances, then seated to listen for good stretches - well timed for ages and attention spans. Heavier on the French history than the Creole living history described on the website, but all around A+ for a family vacation experience - although the content and delivery was geared to a young audience, teens and parents were entertained and learned a few things as well.
