I have visited New Orleans several times, and I am a little embarrassed to admit I have never been on this tour till this past visit. A very kind and knowledgeable docent greeted us. The hour tour was so packed with information and history, I feel as though I received a semester's worth of knowledge in an hour's time. Jemima is an outstanding historian, and while you're learning from her, you feel steeped in the past with the backdrop of a pre-war mansion. I can't recommend this tour enough. If you're visiting New Orleans make it a priority to go, it's also affordable and the gift shop has a great selection of unique items from local artists.

Ever wonder how the other half lived? See the backyard dwellings and learn about the lives of the enslaved who kept it all running. Then enter the main mansion and revisit historic New Orleans. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and open to learning from some of us historic buffs as well.

My Wife and I really enjoyed the Creole Death and Mourning tour put on at the Gallier House on Royal St. in New Orleans. The home has been restored to 1850s condition as much as practical (It had been updated over the years), and the Guide was very friendly and appeared to be quite knowledgeable. The cost of the Tour was reasonable, and took about an hour.

Robert was our tour guide and he was excellent. He had a great personality and was very entertaining in the way he delivered information regarding all aspects of the mansion including the slave quarters, the outdoor/ courtyard area and the interior of the house. Robert was very informative/knowledgeable and passionate about the homes storied past. My wife and I took 5 tours in New Orleans and this tour was our favorite. Would highly recommend.

The tour was intimate and wonderful. The tour guide, who had lived in Boston where I am from, was so wonderful and delightful. She shared her deep knowledge with group in a such a down to earth way. The information shared was very helpful in my ongoing work with the Malta Historic Society and the Notarial Archives in Malta. Highly recommend this museum (and it has an amazing gift shop that only has gifts/art made by local woman artists).

Taking this tour will open your eyes to the architecture of New Orleans. You'll never see the houses in the French Quarter the same. This tour discusses the urban (city) enslavement, and I recommend it as a companion to touring the Whitney Plantation to witness the true history of our nation's past and current conditions. Knowledgable and great staff!

A very educational, concise guide about urban slavery history. The guide is very knowledgeable. Be aware that tours only start at certain time of the day and there’s no self-guided tour. I went first time at like 11:10am and couldn’t get in. Booking a tour with them in advance could also be helpful.

I really enjoyed this tour. A fascinating insight into the lives of a wealthy family and the lives of the slaves that served them. The tour of the house and slave quarters by the hugely knowledgeable guide makes this a visceral travel back in time experience.

Got tickets online the night before. Took the urban enslavement tour, was great. The tour guide was awesome, wish I could remember his name, he was very friendly, eccentric, and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

I am surprised this location isn’t publicized more as everyone visiting should learn about the enslavement that existed in this area. Jemima was my tour guide and did a phenomenal job teaching about a crucial peace of history in the French Quarter. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided amazing education to our tour group.
