Overview
History, Architecture, and Creole Culture - this is a crash course on New Orleans! This is the best tour for people who want to know everything there is to know about the Crescent City. Our 2 hour, historical-walking tour has plenty of fun facts and true stories to entertain even the veteran visitor to the city. We will answer often asked questions such as: • Why build a city in a swamp? • Why is it call it a po-boy sandwich? • Was there really a streetcar named Desire? The historic landmarks you will visit are: • Jackson Square and the Saint Louis Cathedral • Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Tavern • First Pharmacy in the United States • Old Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in New Orleans *** We also offer an 8:00 AM, Early Bird Tour. Beat the heat and the crowds on this tour for the morning person. This time is also recommended for those photography-minded individuals. A Sunrise Option is available by request for a small additional fee (call for more information).***

Rain in New Orleans can be very unpredictable and impressive. By impressive, we mean tropical. By tropical, we mean an inch or greater in less than 15 minutes. Bring a poncho, it may help. It may not.
SUMMER NOTICE: The Heat and Humidity during the summer months can be brutal. We suggest wearing light clothing and a hat with a large brim if possible.
PRO TIP: Umbrellas work well for protection from the Sun as well as rain.
PRO TIP: If rain is in the forecast, bring a plastic bag (Ziplock works best) for your cell phone.
