What To Expect

French Quarter

On these streets, an amalgamation of cultures collide - jazz, voodoo, and Mardi Gras are some of the small hints to the roots of this city and its enigmatic people.

Bourbon Street

While we will meet on Bourbon Street, the 24-hour party that surrounds us is simply a sign of the times - a modern-day adaptation of the past. We will get a taste and then duck into the more intimate side streets of the French Quarter.

Jackson Square

While the French Quarter is synonymous with drinks, dancing, and a rowdy time, it's not all just about the party. Next, your guide will lead you through Jackson Square to visit more historical sites.

Pontalba Buildings

Take a look at these (almost) identical pieces of architecture framing the square and listen to your guide as they explain all the fascinating stories hidden in their facade - including their run as the oldest continuously-rented apartments in the United States.

Cabildo

Pause at the foot of the Cabildo, where the Louisiana Purchase was signed.

St. Louis Cathedral

Take in the iconic view of this spire-topped beauty.

The Presbytere

Just off the square, it is time to enter the Presbytère Museum where touching exhibits on Hurricane Katrina await. Then in an almost total 180-degree spin, view the exhibit on Mardi Gras - but that is life in the Crescent City, touching and joyful at the same time.

French Market

On your way to your final area of the French Quarter, head into one of the most haunted buildings in the United States where supernatural encounters are close by - especially in the seance room which you’ll peek into for a few minutes before swinging through to the old French Market overlooking the beauty of Jackson Square.

This was well worth the money and time. Mary Ellen was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and allowed us to ask questions. I learned so much new information.

We had a nice walking tour through the French quarter with Rene. He was great and made it fun! We were with our teen girls and we all enjoyed it.

Glad we did this our first day. It gave us a good idea of where things were. It made it easier to get to other places that were located around the area.
