Our entire family enjoyed this tour immensely! Johnathan was a wealth of information and inside tips from the movie and television industry in New Orleans...not to mention incredibly personable. The movie snips provided an interactive perspective that really brought the tour to life. He took us throughout many different areas of town in the most comfortable, air conditioned way possible....

Jonathan has a wealth of movie knowledge combined with a love of New Orleans and the combination made for a wonderful 2 hours that we wish could have been longer!! He has inside information of the movies scene and was interesting and funny. More

You don't have to be a movie buff to enjoy the New Orleans Movie Tour with witty and knowledgeable creator and guide Jonathan. While it helps to know some of the movies and their actors & actresses, whether you know the movie scenes or not, you'll have a lot of fun and learn certain parts of the city so you... More

Jon the tour operator is very passionate about New Orleans and it really shows. The tour lasts about two hours and you cruise around town in an air-conditioned van with TV screens in the backs of the headrests. You see clips from maybe a couple dozen movies (as well as TV shows such as Treme), from the exact angle where... More

If you love (or just like movies) you must take this tour. Great way to see New Orleans through the lens (intentional pun) of movies shot in this great city. Jon did a great job as guide -- no surprise since he created the tour, owns the company and has an obvious passion for movies. More

We really enjoyed this tour, it was interesting, informative and done with good humour and professionalism. We would never have found these movie locations ourselves and it was great to watch a clip of the movie and then see where exactly it was shot, what a great idea. The owner/operator Jonathan was a great guy, he was really in to... More

I think brilliant is pushing it. But, thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy you paid attention and it paid off. I have not even seen Stallone and Arnie around town yet! Sounds like you saw a fun scene from the movie titled The Tomb! You guys got lucky! Could you please share the pictures... More

We were really looking forward to this tour and had booked it weeks in advance, we turn up at the meeting point in the morning and couldn't find the van or the host, we rang 3 different numbers after hunting aroud on their webpage with no luck, until we rang the ticket company who somehow contacted the tour group. They... More

I am so sorry we disappointed you and cancelled the tour. We were unable to go out due to an illness I suffered, not the weather. I tried calling you, but the number you gave us was invalid. Either way we are very sorry we disappointed you. Please give me a call personally next time you're in town! We'll make... More

Jonathon was awesome and informative. The tour even provides snacks and popcorn! I had an awesome time. I loved that he can tell you everything about films currently being filmed and that are in the theaters now, as well as older films. More

I was a bit hesitant about taking this tour but my husband wanted to so I agreed. I'm so thankful I did. Jonathan is an excellent tour guide who's passion for his business is incredibly apparent. He really knows his stuff and it shows through in every aspect of the tour. It was the perfect mix of classic older movies... More
