Is there still a lot to do? Can you still take tours or is it a waste. Last time we were there, like 2 years ago we didn't get to do some tours and I want to try it again. Is it a waste of money?

There are sooo many and they are great ! i would suggest calling to make the reservations .. just to confirm everything through the phone. clik on 101 cool things.. then in purple click on tourism.
we took some tours a few months ago provided by a French Quarter shop called Reverend Zombie's Voodoo Shop
hauntedhistorytours.com
I went on the Haunted Ghost Tour... and it was great.. very well done. as i'm sure you heard of all the mystic things being part of New Orleans history.
i've also been on the Natchez River Boat Cruise..
steamboatnatchez.com... which i would highly recommend. You can pick the time of day .. the tour is 2 hours long. You get to have a great lunch with a live local cajun band while touring on the Mississippi.
have a good trip

New Orleans is not the place to be right now. Not nearly recovered and won't be for many many years. Tours of the devastation available but is that what you want to do on vacation? The only thing still the same is the Quarter if you only want to drink. HOT HOT and muggy!!!! Restaurants minimal try going to the beach, Gulf Shores, AL is great.

New Orleans is still rockin! I don't know about the tours but they have a nice zoo and aquarium if ya'll are interested in that. I'm sure there are tours though that still arent available.

The French Quarter is alive and well, and offering great deals since idiots like the ones above aren't visiting. To get away from the tourists drop in at a great little dive just off Canal St., called Matrenga's.

I would consider going to somewhere other than New Orleans. The devastation in the city was tremendous and it will take a long time to straighten it out.
