- The French Quarter itself is and adult playground. It offers all variations of foul language, drunkenness and occasional nudity. While the pirates love that kind of behavior, we try to keep it clean-ish on the tour. Some of the stories involve death, murder, gambling, wenching etc. but overall it’s fairly fine. If the pirates notice that there are no kids on the tour, things may get a bit saltier.
-
- If you’re of legal age it’s encouraged! The Pirates will be funnier and better looking if you drink. Please have your drinks ready to go before the tour starts. There will be a stop halfway through for you to get more booze. We suggest rum!
-
- The information given on the tour ha been heavily research. Much of the tour will be focused on pirate history in New Orleans, the pirate brothers Jean and Pierre Lafitte and the importance of pirate involvement in the Battle of New Orleans. You’ll learn historical facts about New Orleans but the focus is on the early 1800’s in New Orleans.

- Yes! New Orleans is very picturesque! There will be time after the tour to take a picture with the Pirate guide. Don’t ask the pirate to take a picture for you and NEVER hand him a camera of phone. You’ve been warned. Please tag or link us to your pictures on social media! #Piratesofthequarter

- While it is customary in New Orleans to tip tour guides, street musicians and performers, it is totally up to you. Keep in mind though the Pirates have just spent 2 hours with you and will certainly remember what you look like. Plus, they don’t have real jobs or anything else to do all night except drink rum and hang out. Don’t think of it as a tip, think of it as an insurance policy.
