Going to New Orleans any suggestions?

[Sherri]

So our trip is just about here. We leave next week for New Orleans then onto Disney. I was thinking of doing the Katrina tour, has anyone ever done this?
My DH and DS also want to do a ghost tour. My DD and I want to do the Vodoo tour. Has anyone done any of these?

I went on a ghost tour two years ago through Haunted Histories Tours. It was very interesting. The storytelling was excellent.

When we went for Mardi Gras, my BF's mom took us on what she called "the devastation tour." She drove us around the lower 9th ward and other places.

Are you looking for an official tour? Not sure if they still have those or not. When we were there they stopped doing them because the money was supposed to go to Katrina funds, but it was going in the operators pockets.

My in-laws live in New Orleans and we were there last month for my BIL's high school graduation and they took us on what you'd call a devastation tour I guess, showing us all the areas that still look like they did 9 months ago. It was really amazing to see. They own a transportation company (not sure if I can say the name here or not though) so they do the tours all day long cause apparently every tourist who they drive wants to see the damaged areas.

Last year my class went on a trip to New Orleans and we took an amazing ghost tour..I don't remember the name but I do remember that it met outside of Flannagan's Bar or Pub...if it's still even there... Anyways. We had the best tour guide...I think his name was Randy...It was full of historical hauntings as well as some local legends passed down...Truely amazing! I totally wouldn't miss out on it!!
