Original New Orleans Movie Tours
New Orleans Movie Tours is owned and operated by New Orleans locals, Jonathan and Michelle Ray, a married couple of 12+ years.
The idea for the tour started back in 2010 when Jonathan spent some time on the set of two locally filmed movies (A Little Bit Of Heaven starring Kate Hudson, and The Mechanic starring Jason Statham).
“Watching the entire movie making process was such an experience, that I decided that I wanted to share it with everyone that visits New Orleans,” notes Jonathan.
New Orleans Movie Tours enables guests to see the city of New Orleans like never before. Our goal is to provide guests with a fun, educational, and entertaining experience by bringing these movies to life.
