About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jessica S0 contributions2nd time!!!We liked it so much we came back again! Informative and interesting, keeps your attention, definitely worth it! It’s a must do tour when visiting. Thanks Captain for taking such good care of us on our travels with you!Written 2 November 2024
- AlliAbroad0 contributionsA pirate side you never knewThis tour was so much fun and I cannot recommend it enough. Our guide started by telling us a story, and taking us through history of New Orleans, the cultural shifts and influences and how they got there, and the war of 1812. The story he tells has twists and turns, but you’ll have to take the tour yourself to find out. Take cash with you, you stop at a cute pirate themed bar but it is cash only. We took the tour starting at 430, ended around 7. The walking was not strenuous. I had only time for one tour in my day trip to NOLA and I am THRILLED I chose this one. If you want a tour that’s a change of pace from NOLAs offerings but you still want to learn about the culture, this is a great choiceWritten 29 October 2024
- Caitimh0 contributionsGreat pirate tour!Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Even though the rest of our group for the tour cancelled last minute, he still had a great attitude. Would recommend this tour!Written 23 October 2024

- J3662INsarah0 contributionsExcellent guides for summer camp field tripWe brought 30 kids with a summer camp and they split us into two groups- one to talk about Creole women and their contributions to New Orleans history and the other group learned about how pirates shaped New Orleans history, and then we swapped so both groups got both guides and both histories. Our kids were ages 8-12 and they loved it. The adult chaperones also enjoyed themselves, and would love to go back for more pirate history and to catch what was lost when they trimmed down the pirate info to be more age-appropriate. Fascinating facts, knowledgeable guides. Excellent tour.Written 11 July 2024
- Lee N0 contributionsHidden gemWe came across the Pirates of the Quarter while wandering the French Quarter and decided to take the next afternoon's tour. Our guide the Captain was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. He kept the story going even with an 11 and 14 year old and helped us understand both the battle of New Orleans and the influence of piracy in the 1800s in the middle of Louisiana's history.Written 9 July 2024
- Alex R0 contributionsSo freaking good!This was hands down one of the best tours I have ever been on. It was a perfect mesh of performance and information. The content was VERY interesting and it shows that these guys know how to tell a story because it kept you trying to piece bits of the story together as you go with such a good payoff. It was also made better for me seeing how in to the content matter our guide was. 1000% worth the money and 2 hours of your life, because it flew by. Cannot recommend enough.Written 15 June 2024
- Flyer073471100290 contributionsThe Best history tour we could have asked for!Exciting pirate guide, we learned so much and had a great time revealing a fascinating side of New Orleans. And our niner kid was very much into the history story thanks to our best pirate friend!Written 2 June 2024
- brutonjane0 contributionsLearned so much!Did the pirate tour today with Pirates of the Quarter Tours, it was so fun & so informative! Our tour guide was knowledgeable & funny. I appreciated how patient he was with my handicapped husband! A great time, well worth it!Written 25 May 2024

HIGHLY recommend! “The Captain” was a dynamic, dramatic, and highly entertaining teller of the city’s history from the perspective of two famous Gulf pirates. Completely appropriate and entertaining for our 11 year old son and for us too. Seems like the most historically accurate tour we’ve been on, too. We’ve been on several walking tours in several cities, and we feel this one was the best. The Captain is in full pirate costume with a real sword! This adds to the experience so much, and he refers to parts of his outfit/gear a lot, so it’s like a prop for his stories too.

We arrived early, but no pirate, so we called to make sure we were at w correct spot. Yes, and our pirate was on the way. Shortly after the appointed hour our pirate showed. A problem in scheduling. Ok. On with the tour. Since we were the only ones there, we had a pretty much private tour, and we learned a a great deal about the pirates of the area, the Lafitte brothers in particular! All in all a totally immersed vision of life in the area at that time. The only problem was the start with no pirate, but that was immediately corrected and we went off without a hitch.We definitely would recommend anyone taking this tour! You will learn a lot, and by fun in the process!

The Quartermaster was kind to our small group as we were right on time, meaning we were late to the 15 minutes early deal. He also pointed us to a place to get some drinks before starting the tour. (If I'm doing a pirate tour, I'd like to do that with a drink in hand.) The Quartermaster was great as a tour guide. You can feel his personal interest in the history of the pirates of New Orleans.
I'm not a huge history buff, but these pirate stories were fantastic! I was captivated and thrilled. The stops we made were beautiful; I have a personal love for NO's architecture. If you love pirates, you'll enjoy this tour. If I go back to NO, I'm definitely going to check out their night tour.

This was THE best tour we took on the entire vacation. We took 4 tours total and this one was worth every penny and second we spent on it. HiGHLY recommend it. We learned so much about the city and French Quarter in just two hours. The info we got was actual documented research truth and was extremely fascinating. My 19 and 16 year old sons loves it as well! We will be taking this tour again when we return to the city in the future.

The quartermaster was phenomenal, we were a few minutes late because there was a tolouse road and street and we had mixed them up but he was willing to talk to us while we got drinks to begin the journey. He was quick witted and clever with his jokes and told us all the thrilling tales. He answered any questions we had and gave us so many details as he laid the stones for the stories. I wish we could have done the night tour but didn't have the time. The day tour was thrilling and he was very energetic through the whole encounter. This is my favorite city tour I've ever done.

Thank you for the review! The Quartermaster loves to tell his stories. Don't worry! The pirates will be here when you return, and you can hear more stories on the Pub Crawl.

We truly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide dressed in “movie magic” pirates dress but was very true to the “real” pirates stories and information. The facts and information was interesting to hear. The tour guide was definitely passionate about what he does. I do recommend this tour. Our tour guide stayed afterwards for quite a while talking with us and even did photos. Definitely recommend.

This was a fun tour in the French Quarter. Our pirate guide had a good mix of humor and knowledge. We learned a lot about the history of pirates in New Orleans. Would recommend this to visitors who want to see the sights as well as learn some history.

My co-worker and I knew we wanted to do a tour in New Orleans but to try and narrow it down was near impossible until we ran across an article about the pirate tour. All we can say is WOW very impressive! I personally learned so much in just a little amount of time. They tell you the history and entertain you as well. The tour went well over the 2 hours and not a single person wanted to rush off. We had a dinner appointment with a client so we had to! For our pirate, we were the couple from Virginia on Monday, February 27 BOTH traveling for business and we were the first to leave. You were amazing! We are actually in the tourism industry and know a good guide can make or break a tour your tour was spot on! We both recommended your tour at the tourism conference we were in town attending! Great job! This tour is well worth your money and I will look at doing it when I bring my daughter back to town!

I hesitantly booked this tour not really knowing what to expect. None of us were children and I had hoped we wouldn't be on some sort of school-aged adventure. The tour did not disappoint. It was lengthy so I would be cautious about booking anything else immediately following. My adult son said it was the best tour we did on our entire vacation. He's not one to get excited about much so that's a huge compliment. Thank you for such a memorable time.
