New Orleans is my hometown, and honestly, most "top things to do" lists online are written by people who visited once. This page is the opposite — it's the museums, tours, and hidden spots I actually go to and send friends and family to when they visit.
Each one below links out to a full write-up about them plus a direct link to book tickets or tours where applicable. Skip the guesswork and book the stuff that's actually worth your time.
A quick note: some links on this page are affiliate links (through
Viator,
Expedia,
GetYourGuide, and similar partners), meaning I may earn a small commission if you book through them — at no extra cost to you. I only feature things I've personally done or would genuinely recommend.
