Our group of 4 consisting of 2 married couples over the age of 50 had a great time with Jon and Michelle. We were impressed with the quality of the clips and the comfortableness of the moving theatre (van). Homemade popcorn and bottle water rounded off the experience. J+M were very flexible in their tour and would answer all our questions even to the point of doing some research online for those they did not know the answers to. ie Where did Harry Conick Sr play piano at? The movie clips were varied in action, drama and comedy. They were able to tie the filming shots into the vibe of the city. Besides the movie knowledge they imparted there was plenty of NOLA history they shared that we were unaware of. You don't have to be a movie nut to enjoy the tour. Half of our group was the other half not but everybody had a great time and would highly recommend the tour. A great experience. |

Jonathan called a day or so before the tour and asked if there was anything else he could do to make the tour easier to get to since my wife uses a wheelchair. There was parking nearby, so we figured that wouldn't be a problem. He was there well ahead of the scheduled "meet" time. There were six of us in our party, and one other person. The tour itself was great, especially for people who frequent movies regularly. Jonathan would set up scenes from movies and then show the video clip. Great! (One scene was identified from "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" which we saw on the 22nd of June and it was exactly as described. It was "supposed" to have taken place in Springfield, IL. Sat right in the middle of the street where Bruce Willis exited the spinning cop car in "Red". Was parked right out front of the home "Benjamin Button" stayed in while growing younger. Got to see the free ferry that was "blown up" in "Deja Vu". Many more locales, and some surprises. Jonathan is an excellent tour guide/represenative for New Orleans/part-time actor.
This was only our third visit to New Orleans, but we may go back again in the future and will probably do this again. |

Our guide, Jonathan, provided a fascinating and eye-opening introduction to some of the great movies that have been filmed in New Orleans. We also learned about the prominent role New Orleans has played in the movie industry in general. |

We truely enjoyed the movie tour, seeing where scenes were filmed & celebrity homes. It took a charming guide from Connecticut to introduce three native New Orleanians to the local film industry. The group was small enough that interaction with the guide was possible. It's always intriguing to have an unfamiliar component of one's hometown revealed. |

The driver was very knowledgable about the movies, movie sites, and actors of those movies shot in New Orleans, He is entertaining and fun! There are even movie screens on the back of each seat and delicious cheese corn! I would highly recommend to adults or families. It is one of the best tours in New Orleans. |

I really enjoyed the format of this tour. It was interesting to actually visit and stop in the same spots where video clips of the movies were being shown at the same time on the van. Jonathan was a great tour guide. |

I heard about this movie tour from TripAdvisor when I was researching different tours available in New Orleans. I was looking for something unique and fun...and found just that! The hosts blended history along with movie tibbits, so you got a great, overall picture of the areas the van visited.
Especially appreciated the Garden District stop, and seeing celebrities' homes. I could tell a lot of thought, research and detail went into creating and orchestrating this tour, and was very impressed with not only their passion but also their fun use of knowledge. Made a 1st-time NOLA tourist like me enjoy my stay very much! The price is worth it; especially if you enjoy movies, you will NOT be disappointed! Actually I didn't know or hadn't seen more than half the movies on their list so I learned a few things there and still very much enjoyed the clips and seeing where it was actually filmed. The hosts are full of life and cheer, and it felt like we were all out on a bus ride with (knowledgable) friends. |
