What To Expect
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).***

A moderate amount of walking is involved (aprox 1.3 miles). Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately. 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.
