Take this tour!! I was hesitant about this tour at first because I did not want to be a cheesy tourist. But you will learn the entire Martis Gras history and get an inside look at the floats -- all while getting the inside stories about what makes Martis Gras so special. There is so much history behind everything that I never appreciated or knew about. You will learn and SEE how props and floats are made. It was such a special experience and I will even go back AGAIN the next time I visit NOLA. You'll have tons of photo opportunities and even get a delicious slice of King Cake. Don't miss this tour!

great transport to and from museum

This was a great tour! We squeezed this in before we had to head to the airport so i loved that they offer tours every 30 minutes. We enjoyed dressing in the easy to button on costumes for a few quick pics before watching the enjoyable video about Mardi Gras. The facts about what this location produces was so surprising! It was very impressive to see the artists actually working on-site and to see the volume of how many pieces are stored here. We were very impressed! The warehouse is not air conditioned while walking around but at least they have big fans everywhere. The only downside is the groups are quite large, about 25 people so it was hard to hear the tour guide. We kept falling behind because we were taking so many pictures. Overall this was interesting and fun.

must see in New Orleans !!

fun tour,,, does not take too long ,, informative and colorful for sure

really enjoyed the experience to go behind the scenes. I also enjoyed getting to try the King cake. I may never get to be at mardi gras so this was exciting to see the floats.

The tour was amazing. Our tour guide made it fun as well as informative. This is a must see tour for everyone.

The missing star is due to the peculiarly freezing temperatures of the day of our tour 1/1/18 which was a factor. There's no climate control in some portions of the warehouse and I wasn't dressed warmly enough, particularly with the wind coming off the river. But the guide and the tour were great. I really enjoyed learning about the history of NOLA's Mardi Gras floats and seeing the amazing artwork and processes. I recommend the tour.

Highly recommend all New Orleans visitors to check this place out! Amazing!!!!

The shuttle bus driver that picked us up at the Caf□ Du Monde stop was very friendly. The movie before the tour was informative. We enjoyed seeing the Mardi Gras floats up close despite not being on Bourbon street in an actual parade. Lots of photo opps and learning how the floats were made was interesting. We were able to observe some of the artists at work. My only critique is that our tour guide could have been a little more energetic or enthusiastic.
