Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Breathtaking! We must have walked around for hours. It was a beautiful day, the breeze off the Mighty Mississippi was so refreshing. Don’t miss it!

    If you want to see New Orleans, eat, listen to music galore, you have to go to the French Quarter. It’s got lots to see and the the trolley is not a far walk, around 15 min.

    Took the green trolley through the garden district. It took about two hours there and back. $3 pp. worth the trip as you get to see the homes and not worry about the drivers

    Drove through this area and took some beautiful pictures. I know you can walk around but we found it easier to drive.

    This place, in the heart of New Orleans is where everything takes place at once. You never know what you're going to see. Every type of drink and band and street entertainment you can think of. The smell is terrible, there are homeless people laid on the street that you have to step over. I would not go there personally at night. I also would not carry my children down this street day or night. If you want to party this is the place to be.

    We were so glad we took the ferry to visit this place. It was interesting to walk round and the jazz greats walk was fun too. The views of New Orleans from the ferry were well worth it. Recommended

    Julia Row now appears to be a new and modern block of apartments built on Julia Street. Lots of art galleries in the vicinity.
