An all-season guide to the best time to visit New Orleans
An all-season guide to the best time to visit New Orleans

New Orleans never stops partying — it just changes costumes. The best time to visit New Orleans is whenever you get there: Catch beads at Mardi Gras, devour crawfish in spring, or haunt the French Quarter for Halloween. Summer is sweaty, but sno-balls and air-conditioned museums make it cooler. Fall means oysters and second lines, while winter brings holiday cocktails.

At any time, expect live jazz on Frenchmen Street, ghostly cemeteries, and parades you didn’t plan for. Here’s what to do each month in New Orleans so you can catch the best events and eat the right foods in each season.

We had a great time on our swamp tour. Our guide Earnie was very knowledgeable about the swamps and the gators. He gave us so much information that we could see and discover. The boat was extremely fast which was a thrilling ride. It was a 40 min ride on a shuttle over but our driver was am excellent guide about the area as we drove to the swamps. Great bucket list excursion

Great day out and highly recommend. Tyler or tour guide was excellent and very informative about the swamp. Got to see a couple of alligators but this time of year they are in brumation so not very active. Saw some babies too. Dexter our wonderful driver was excellent and gave us some great locals tips of places to go and eat.

Guests need to know that airboat guide and plantation guides all want cash tips, along with the tour guide. That is 4 different people to tip! We did not bring much cash and were caught off guard.
